Float Studio designs rentable offices for Meet in Place in New York
New York firm Float Studio has created neutral offices in Lower Manhattan for Meet in Place, a company that provides rooms to rent for meetings and other events.
The Meet in Place outpost in the Financial District (FiDi) follows the room rental platform's debut location in Tel Aviv, which opened in 2016.
Yaron Kopel and Michael Dorsman founded the company provide nomadic workers with spaces to host meetings, conferences and presentations, which can be booked when required without a membership.
Designed by local firm Float Studio, the New York location is found on the first floor of a building at Nassau and Fulton streets.
"We really strive for corner locations with a lot of windows, high ceilings and on second floors [or not so high up, for an intimate feel]," Kopel told Dezeen. "We have a few basic requirements that go with our concept. The atmosphere is very simple for us: we want to build places where we would like to go to meetings." The interiors are kept minimal with white surfaces and wide, European white oak engineered floors. This pared-back approach draws attention to the property's original features, like large windows and high, curved ceiling design.
"The brick in the vaulted ceilings had been totally plastered over," Float Studio told Dezeen. "It ran throughout the space, but we chose to expose it only in the entrance and common area to keep the interior of the meeting rooms feeling as bright as possible."
