Silicon Valley Bank, a high-tech commercial bank, returned to PDO for a fifth time when it was time to expand into additional floors for their Tempe Operations Center. With this new space, a shift in the client’s design standards meant new parameters, including benching/desking workstations and no offices. With these changes, PDO designed a variety of conference rooms to serve different needs–huddle rooms, phone rooms, booths, and open collaboration areas. A redesigned steel, glass, and concrete staircase became a focal point, connecting the 4th and 5th floors and tying together the elegant, modern spaces.
Phone booths with acoustical wall treatments serve as touch down spaces and offer heads-down employees an alternative workspace.
Crisp, white paint against reclaimed brick gives the break room an urban chic feel and is a focal point from the adjacent thoroughfare.
