Designer Story
With an understanding of what is needed to create an open
office plan that is truly open, Sam Hecht and Kim Colin
of Industrial Facility created Locale—an elegant solution that
recognizes collaboration as a necessity of good business.
During the design process for Locale, Hecht and Colin drew
inspiration from their own office—a highly efficient space
that accommodates different work styles and behaves like an
energetic international neighborhood.
The design was also informed by the idea of a thriving English
high street, which serves the community and the broader
city simply by arranging a variety of local activities and services
in proximity to one another.
