Description

A Quiet Lounge is a warm, inviting sanctuary from the stresses of the workday. Here, people can be introspective without completely withdrawing from their community. An extension of the Living Office setting known as Haven, the Quiet Lounge is designed for decompression and relaxation alongside colleagues who are also seeking a moment of respite.

Design characteristics
