>> You know, New York isn’t really a big design town.
>> So we’re trying to shake things up a bit.
>> You know, we get out into the streets, feel what the locals feel.
>> And then, bring that dynamic nature back into our office.
>> Go [SOUND] yourself!
>> What I love about this space is, it has a kind of grit to it.
[NOISE] And maintaining that grit is one of the challenge is.
>> Making sure the space, and then trying to be something that it isn’t.

>> So that’s why we rarely clean the bathrooms.

>> You know?

>> We wanna see a cross-fertilization of ideas.
>> It’s about serendipity, unexpected connections.
