GENSLER | Houston – Cabanas x BeDESIGN

GENSLER | Houston – Cabanas x BeDESIGN

Sprawled across a sun-filled open office atrium in a stellar downtown building is a surprising BeDesign oasis: a trio of work/play/meet cabanas in the Gensler lobby.
The Cabana project, a transformational perspective in how we can all interact at work, sets three vignettes in open spaces framed by Kettal’s wooden shelters.
Each Cabana has a different theme and a different purpose, with a unifying  purpose to create interaction and community. These spaces allow everyone in the office to share their time and voices, to gather in small and relaxed meetings, or to enjoy some focused work on their own in a beautifully designed and comfortable place. Imaginative design coupled with elegant lines and luxury textiles inspires creativity and confidence.
BeDesign’s lead creative, Marcelo Saenz, has composed the three vignettes with purpose in mind
