Amazon Midtown 21

PROJECT NARRATIVE

This 21-story project includes 300,000 square feet of workplace design, including retail, training, production studios, and sound booths. The BA team worked with the client to deliver a new workplace concept on an accelerated design and construction schedule. Three floors of office space were paired with an adjacent floor of conferencing, alternative work, and breakout areas. This planning strategy created robust floors for collaboration and team gathering, and encouraged users on different floors to congregate together. The collaboration-forward floors feature an enhanced hospitality-oriented design, while the more focused workplace-centric floors centered on heads-down individual work. The penthouse level features a double-height event space, anchored by a café and bar and featuring destinations for gathering and alternative work. The project included web-cast studios, production editing spaces, sounds rooms, and large e-sport team gaming areas.
