Landor- Portland, Oregon

In order to provide a soothing and creative work environment for Landor- a cutting edge graphic design and branding firm- the design of their new location in Portland, Oregon will include all the necessities for the business to function at its best while supporting the mental health of the employees. According to UrbanNext (2015), Biophilic attributes can reduce stress, enhance creativity and clarity of thought, and improve overall well-being and expedite healing. The office will promote overall mental health, creativity and increase motivation of the employees by incorporating natural materials and large amounts of glass to bring the outside in. Natural materials and large amounts of glass will be used throughout the whole design concept, ensuring to bring the outside in. These materials will also ensure there is a light & airy feeling throughout the whole design, allowing for employees to feel comfort and relaxation. The design of the Landor, Portland will stand out among other offices with its Eco Modern take that will help accomplish the sustainability factor Portland, Oregon has strived so hard to achieve.
