Chicago, IL | 19,600 SF
Following the recent mergers of financial advisory offices, Focus Partners engaged BOX Studios to reimagine their workplace at 1 N. Wacker into a 23,000 SF environment designed to support employee growth, efficient performance, and team connection. The new office delivers a strategic balance of privacy and collaboration, offering a variety of work settings that accommodate focused tasks, confidential conversations, and dynamic team engagement.
With budget efficiency as a key driver, BOX Studios thoughtfully leveraged and reworked existing conditions to maximize value while selectively investing in design decisions that would elevate the overall client and employee experience. Intentional planning, flexible layouts, and a cohesive moody material palette create a refined, high-performing workplace that supports productivity, and adaptability.
The result is a visually distinctive office that reflects Focus Partners’ professional identity and client-centric culture, while also providing an engaging destination that encourages return-to-office, strengthens collaboration, while in-turn positioning the firm for continued success.
