Repositioning a pre-pandemic office for a new tenant’s brand and culture

As Boston’s office market adapts to shifting workplace demands, many newly built spaces designed for one company, but underoccupied, are now being sublet to others. Costello Medical’s office fit-out is a prime example—transforming a space tailored for another tenant into one that reflects their own identity and workplace culture. Through selective renovations, we infused warmth, personality, and functionality to create a bespoke workspace that fosters collaboration, staff connection, and daily productivity.

• Doubled the size of the lunchroom to accommodate weekly staff gatherings, incorporating a mix of hospitality-style booths, dining tables, and high-top seating for choice and comfort.
• Enhanced acoustics and aesthetics with wood and felt wall panels, along with felted light fixtures, to introduce warmth, texture, and sound absorption.
• Reconfigured an underutilized area to create a new boardroom and an informal collaboration zone, optimizing the use of space.
• Refreshed the overall environment with carefully selected finishes and furnishings to add character and align the space with Costello Medical’s brand identity.
