The free-flowing concept nods to painter Piet Mondrian with bright primary hues denoting different zones, while detailed patternwork, decorative lighting, and plush furnishings offer moments of discovery. Beyond the entrance-anchored by a terrazzo-clad reception desk and neon signage-the dining and meeting areas double as communal work environments with bar seating, banquettes, and workbench-style tables. "We created a flexible space that enhances the company culture of sharing, working, and learning together," says Jackdaw cofounder Alex Cleave.
