The Challenge of Reinvention
JAQUE faced unique challenges in transforming this raw, historic space into a modern, functional masterpiece:
- Respecting History: The building’s original brick walls and historic carriage-house structure required careful navigation to balance preservation with innovation.
- Structural Obstacles: Uneven floors and architectural quirks presented design and engineering hurdles, which JAQUE addressed with ingenuity and precision.
Through persistence and a clear vision, JAQUE and the Media Bridge team overcame these challenges, creating an office suite that embodies the brand’s progressive ideals.
Industrial Meets Modern: A JAQUE-Designed Inspiration
The new office combines industrial vibes with modern sophistication, merging the building’s historic roots with the energy of its vibrant surroundings. Every design element, meticulously curated by JAQUE, reflects Media Bridge Advertising’s mission of helping brands stand out and gain market share.
Key Features of the Space
A Welcoming Entrance and Central Hub
Visitors are greeted by a stylish lounge that sets the tone for the company’s transparency and collaborative spirit. At the heart of the office lies a custom-designed conference suite:
- Versatile Meeting Space: JAQUE designed custom tables, subtly shaped like the letter “M” in Media Bridge, to accommodate up to 14 people or separate for smaller group discussions.
- Innovative Branding: Wall panels with fabric resembling the letter “M” further emphasize the company’s identity.
Hospitality and Collaboration Spaces
True to Media Bridge’s “bullish” mindset, JAQUE infused the office with spaces that encourage creativity and connection:
- Breakout Areas: Adjacent to the conference room, breakout spaces and booths feature custom murals, offering vibrant and inspiring settings for informal meetings.
- Kitchen and Bar: A fully equipped kitchen and bar, designed with JAQUE’s signature attention to detail, provide a welcoming atmosphere for entertaining clients and hosting team events.
Dynamic Workspaces
The open workspace reflects JAQUE’s commitment to blending aesthetics with functionality:
- Brand Colors: Infused throughout the space, creating a cohesive, on-brand aesthetic.
- Flexibility: Two additional breakout areas offer employees options for a change of scenery.
Executive Office and Lounge
JAQUE’s design for the founder’s office emphasizes openness and connectivity:
- A creative lounge area fosters informal collaboration.
- An adjacent private conference room allows for focused discussions.
Eye-Catching Restrooms
Even the restrooms reflect JAQUE’s bold, asymmetrical design ethos, serving as an extension of the company’s edgy and dynamic brand identity.
Designing for the Future While Honoring the Past
JAQUE’s transformative design bridges Media Bridge Advertising’s legacy with its future. By blending historical architecture with custom furniture, modern finishes, and thoughtful design elements, she created a workspace that is both timeless and forward-thinking.
“It Takes Two”: A strong vision and a well-executed plan. JAQUE’s masterful design for the Media Bridge office is more than a workspace—it’s a testament to what can be achieved with creativity, determination, and trust.
“Designer. Magician. Has one person ever embodied so much skill and such a wide range of experience? Jaque has it all. And when you work with her, you feel like you’re the only person on Earth.”
