Founded in 1982, HarbourVest is a global private equity investment firm, with a heritage built upon decades of innovation and success. In their new workspace, HarbourVest tasked Direct Painting Group with creating a modern, flexible & functional workplace, unifying four floors through the use of clean architectural lines and glass partitions.
The enabling principle behind the office design was HarbourVest’s intention to create an agile workplace that effectively encouraged collaboration among their workforce. Similarly, the global financial company wanted a space that supported their evolving business, with a work environment that can adapt as the HarbourVest brand grows.
From initial visual design through to the final touches, our team held various design workshops for HarbourVest, enabling us to establish a rapport, deepen our understanding of the brand & deliver a remarkable office design.
The one-of-a-kind office is complete with grand cellular work stations, stylish booths and private meeting rooms, providing for the flexibility of HarbourVest employees by supporting both collaborative & private working practice.
The transformed open-plan workspace is a sleek and contemporary environment that serves as a hub of communication and collaboration for HarbourVest employees. The grounded appeal of the office is elevated by subtle brand awareness, including brand colours and a vinyl-logo in the reception – promoting HarbourVest through to the core of the office design.
