NEXT STEELCASE: 2022

This project requires students to design a space for a workplace and retail environment based on the requirements of the 2021 Steelcase NEXT Competition. NEXT has decided to invest in a new Research and Development Hub in the heart of the thriving Seaport
District of Boston, Massachusetts. The Seaport District, or simply the Seaport, is part of the

larger neighborhood of South Boston, and is also sometimes called the Innovation District. NEXT has decided they will be partnering with Steelcase to provide the furnishings for
their new R&D because of Steelcase’s commitment to innovation, diversity, inclusion, and sustainability. NEXT feels strongly that they want to partner with companies that match their core values.

Concept Statement

This NEXT workplace design creates a sleek, minimal, biophilic space that increases productivity and mental health for the users. This office space contains an abundance of clean, linear black and white lines to help with wayfinding. Glass walls are used to create transparent, yet enclosed spaces. The black and white geometry with crisp looking glass creates an open, minimalist feel. An abundance of greenery and biophilia are incorporated to rejuvenate their minds and create a natural, stress-free zone.
