Cambridge Consultants
SGA was tapped by Cambridge Consultants to conceptualize and design their new office space on the 12th floor of Two drydock spanning 22,000 square feet and delivering a state-of-the-art hybrid experience.
Rather than staying at their current location, Cambridge Consultants collaborated with SGA to design a new, innovative hybrid workspace. SGA was responsible for all aspects of the design and build process for this project, working diligently to bring the client’s brand and values to life in a compelling way.
As highlighted in Tradeline, Cambridge Consultant’s post-occupancy survey shows employees feel positive about their new workplace, with more than 80% saying it supports a hybrid work strategy.
To attract Cambridge Consultant employees back into a new office after COVID lockdowns, SGA designed a space that ensured employees felt comfortable transitioning from home to the office. A greater variety of settings is now the norm, with collaborative meeting rooms that have integrated team technology, such as audiovisual equipment and streamable whiteboards.
SGA also accommodated the client’s hybrid working model by designing all the furniture to be dynamic yet functional, with adjustable heights and power capabilities. In the post-occupancy survey, more than 86% of respondents say that they feel the new space communicates positive energy and conveys Cambridge Consultant’s mission.
The design of the new CC workplace incorporates the letter C in various ways to showcase the company’s updated brand identity. In collaboration with Ember Creative, SGA successfully integrated the graphics of the company’s new logo into the overall design — creating a path that guides clients through the space, offering an immersive experience of the company’s core values. The interior walls’ angles reflect the client’s logo, showcasing a subtle yet deliberate design element. This harmonious integration has enabled SGA to create a sense of openness within the building and an airy aesthetic that is further accentuated by windows at the end of each corridor.
This design experience included a light reveal in the elevator lobby that leads to the reception area, where a wall with a digital display is surrounded by hand-selected artifacts that reflect Cambridge Consultants’ long-standing history and rich company culture.
The lighting plan incorporated the logo’s same angular concept and used a series of pendants to create a non-directional pattern over the open office. During the build, SGA addressed lead time issues and reduced costs by reusing materials — such as accent pendants and interior doors — from the existing space and previous projects.
SGA accommodated the client’s hybrid working model by designing all the furniture to be dynamic yet functional, with adjustable heights and power capabilities. Through their collaboration with Cambridge Consultants, SGA created a vibrant and immersive workspace that reflects the client’s brand and values and provides an innovative work environment for employees to thrive.
