This document discusses the design of a new workspace for IDEO, an innovation and design firm. It outlines key values that should be reflected in the design such as fostering a studio culture, balancing private and public spaces, and encouraging spontaneity and collaboration. Activities that define IDEO's culture are analyzed and translated into spatial implications. The design process is discussed in terms of flexibility, adaptability and allowing unintended ideas and accidents to occur naturally. The goal is to create a space that supports IDEO's culture of creativity and innovation over the long term without being too prescriptive.
