AXIOM
San Francisco, California, USA
AXIOM, a management consulting firm, has escaped the financial district of San Francisco and relocated to the South of Market Area, otherwise known as the Multimedia Valley. For the firm that designs the re-engineering of large corporations, its office needed to be a metaphor of the company’s services.
AXIOM’s new office is completely open, where even the CEO does not have a private office. Except for the administrative staff that is regularly stationed in the office, all offices are non-territorial. Normally their consultants would work at the client’s office given their own desks. So the AXIOM office in turn, is aimed to become “My Sweet Office”, where the consultants can come back and feel at home. To further enhance this, no hotelling reservation is required. Whenever the consultants return to the office, the preference is to use the conference rooms to exchange information with colleagues or to have casual meetings. Even with almost 10 conference rooms, the constant shortage of these conference rooms proves that this office has fulfilled its role as their sweet office.
