Interface – Designing a Healthy, Sustainable HQ

In this episode of NeoConversations, we’ll find out what happens when a commercial design brand takes on the design of new headquarters. What are the challenges and opportunities involved in bringing teams from disparate offices together into a unified headquarters? And, what is involved in the design and construction of that project so that it emcompasses the brand’s DNA, supports company culture and sends a strong message to the world about the company’s mission? Plus, how do you do all that and consider LEED and WELL specifications?

Interface is a globally-recognized leader in commercial flooring. Their modular system of carpet tile and LVT help customers create spaces that enhance the productivity and well-being of those who use them. Along with architecture and design firm Perkins + Will, Interface is in the final stages of realizing their new HQ in Atlanta GA—exciting!

Listen as host Amy Devers talks to Chip DeGrace, of Interface, and Joe Connell of Perkins + Will about Interface HQ in Atlanta:
