Pinterest's new office is home to more than 150 employees. Having moved into the 7th Street space in April, Pinterest has transformed the 45,000 square-foot brick warehouse into a collaboration themed space for the growing design-driven company.
Designers Janette Kim of All of the Above, First Office’s Anna Neimark and Andrew Atwood and executive architect Neal Schwartz added four 20′ x 20′ white “houses” to function as meeting areas, allowing the HQ to offer the best of both an open and closed floor plan. Pinterest co-founder Evan Sharp said:
The one certain thing about a startup is that the future is highly uncertain, and so like an information system, we wanted the design of the office to be flexible enough that the design would be able to adapt as the company changes over time. Like Pinterest (the service), we wanted our space to accommodate the most heterogeneous set of occupations possible. That’s architect speak for, the space should enable you to work in many different ways. Whether you’re comfortable working at a dedicated desk, on your laptop at a communal table, or in a dark corner in the basement, it’s likely that you’ll find a place that works for the way you like to work.
