JPC Architects and Design Republic Collaborate on PitchBook’s NYC Office
As one of the largest networks of design talent in the world, ONE Global Design makes it possible for clients to execute their projects around the globe, no matter where they begin — like expanding from Seattle to New York City, for example.
PitchBook’s mission is to help people make informed business decisions that lead to game-changing results. When JPC Architects was asked to design PitchBook's New York office, the goal was to create an environment that followed the very same philosophy that fuels PitchBook: fostering innovation.
The PitchBook team had recently completed their Seattle office with JPC Architects and were very interested working with JPC again and bringing the successful elements of that office design to the Flatiron district Headquarters in NYC. Aligning the vision, JPC took elements of the Seattle office while remaining true to the integrity and creative features of the 1920s Manhattan building that would house the new office.
The collaborative and multi-use office takes full advantage of the exposed concrete floors, columns, and historic beam work. There is an industrial feel with a central, 3-story unfinished-steel stair anchoring the space with exposed metal and eye-catching welding work. One of the most unique features is a stainless steel slide provided by Goric Playgrounds that safely allows the PitchBook team to have some fun together sparking creativity. Great care and thought went into the design and construction of the NYC office; every element was designed with a purpose.
Early on in the project, JPC reached out to Design Republic, a trusted ONE Global partner firm located in New York City to represent the design team on the ground and to provide important local expertise for the project. Design Republic frequently visited the site during construction, coordinated vendors and approvals, and worked to manage expectations. They were instrumental in the success of this collaborative project; PitchBook is an excellent example of how ONE Global Partners work together on behalf of our clients.
