The creators of the iconic Montr\u00e9al event create a fun, laid-back, open space to call HQ.<\/p>\n
How do you make the most of the practicality of an open-concept office without letting background noise become a nuisance? Piknic HQ tackles precisely this dilemma with three strategies to reduce noise at the source: multiple set back areas where people can gather casually, semi-open executive offices and a variety of small closed meeting rooms.<\/p>\n
With its services arranged outside the central core, this layout accommodates the largest number of people. Numerous workstations line the windows, offering plenty of natural light and a sweeping view over the Jardin des possibles. Closed meeting rooms and administrative offices are arranged along the outer edges to keep the open area quiet and peaceful.
\nCo-workers can enjoy a chat over a meal at the long bar-style counter in the lunchroom. A large serving hatch with cabinets, top and bottom, hides all the kitchen tools and implements. Seated comfortably at the counter, the team has an unobstructed view of the open office.<\/p>\n
At the heart of the vast space are four semi-open executive offices made from local poplar plywood and translucent polycarbonate for each of the founding partners. These compact, practical micro-offices have an integrated work desk and a small sit-down table in solid maple. A large pane slides open, looking onto the workspace for convenient team collaboration.<\/p>\n
Between the four executive offices, a modular system of poufs and bent steel tables with countless configuration options acts as a casual spot for people to gather. This versatile space lends itself well to all sorts of activities, including friendly chit-chat, team meetings, group training, screenings, conferences, cocktail receptions and why not\u2026a piknic between friends!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
