Here’s how Haworth helped transform the Chapter’s workplace from drab to dynamic.
The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory is a not-for-profit R&D organization in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Its 456,055 sq ft building, designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects, is organized around a steel and glass atrium that encourages interaction and collaboration for 1,700+ employees.
With open sightlines and ample natural light, the welcome area is home to four Windowseat lounge chairs—featuring Draper’s fresh and sophisticated color palette—that offer a comfortable seat for waiting privately or engaging in casual conversation.
Groupings of Windowseat and Capo lounge chairs in bold pops of color surround the staircase—bringing energy and zest into the social space. The building provides several social spaces designed to support Draper Labs’ creative and collaborative culture.
Social spaces throughout Draper Labs are designed for comfort and privacy, letting people relax, work, or collaborate. A living wall of bright green foliage and natural materials helps recharge the mind and body and connects people, nature, technology, and innovation.
A wide-angle view of the atrium provides a glimpse at the variety of seating and design choices that can be used to elevate a space. Throughout the building, technology is integrated seamlessly into the design to support communication and productivity.
