Building Connected Communities | The Art of Platforms & Stairs
Communities thrive when people are given places to pause, meet and connect. Across our projects, platforms and planting are used as architectural tools that transform workplaces into vibrant social landscapes.
At Booking.com, ING Cedar, and Reykjavik Energy Headquarters, elevated platforms create destinations throughout the building, offering a variety of settings for collaboration, informal meetings and focused work. Integrated greenery softens these environments, bringing nature closer to everyday life while creating moments of calm within dynamic workplaces.
These spaces encourage movement and spontaneous encounters. Each platform becomes part of a larger journey through the building, where architecture supports interaction, wellbeing and a strong sense of community.
Building Connected Communities is a continuing series exploring the design principles that shape our projects. Through architecture, interior design and landscape, we create places where people naturally come together.
