Gardner Nelson + Partners

A fourteen-foot-tall loft space for an advertising agency is conceived in vertical halves, with the upper part as meaningfully occupied and animated as the lower. A glass wall suspended from the ceiling divides the space into public and private zones without impeding movement through the space. Conference rooms and small phone-booths, the only full-height partitions in the space, undulate and jog as they rise past the 7-foot meridian line. Suspended linear lighting demarcates the midpoint plane and evenly lights the volume from its center; by hanging the bi-directional fixtures low, their distribution is greatly improved and the quantity of fixtures needed to light the space was reduced by half.

This undulating white half-way within the Gardner Nelson + Partners advertising agency offers a dynamic separation of space in this portion of the room.
This hanging glass half-wall allows for a midline partition that fills up the top half of the 14-foot-tall space as intentionally as the bottom half.
This row of metal office cubicles stands-out among the white wall, ceilings, and lighting figures.
The front desk view when you enter the Gardner Nelson + Partners office floor displays a metal receptionist island and a clear GNP logo hanging on one of the many white walls.
This angled view of the front desk area of the Gardner Nelson + Partners office leads down a hallway that points to a glass-walled conference space.
This conference room features floor to ceiling windows, white geometric walls, a row of 4 square art pieces, and a wooden table in the center of the small space.
This cylindrical column, which is tapered towards the top, acts as a very large stability beam outside of one of the many Gardner Nelson + Partner conference rooms.
