Atelier Cho Thompson

Thank you to for awarding the Small Workplace Design award. At the core of this project was a curvilinear, gemlike conference room which serves as a meeting space but also as a sculptural focal point within the office. Its multifold door and multiple entrances promote circulation, allowing the space to open up during larger events. Adaptability allows the space to shift effortlessly between casual daily use and larger-scale events, reinforcing the multipurpose nature of the office in today’s world. 📸

Thrilled to share photos for a new office space for Arc70 in Burlingame, CA. At the core of the office is a curvilinear, gemlike conference room which serves not only as a meeting space but also as a sculptural focal point within the floor plan. Its sweeping form introduces a sense of energy and movement, while large multifold openings on both sides allow the room to transform—closing down for privacy or opening wide to create permeability into the adjacent coworking and café areas. This duality reinforces the idea of the workplace as an interconnected landscape, where circulation and flow support collaboration and community.
