Octagon Offices – Stamford
TPG Architecture’s Octagon offices in Stamford, artfully blend bold colors and dynamic lighting to create a vibrant ‘mission control’ that fosters collaboration and reflects the agency’s innovative spirit.
Octagon is a premier sports and entertainment marketing and management agency with creatives positioned around the world to lead thousands of campaigns per year. TPG Architecture has collaborated with Octagon to design a number of its offices in the United States, including the agency’s most recent Connecticut relocation. Embracing Octagon’s playmaker spirit, the new ‘mission control’ for its Stamford team is modern, bold, and inspired.
TPG Architecture’s high-impact design leans on daring color contrasts and dynamic lighting installations to excite and engage. Backlit gradient wallcoverings blend vibrant shades of orange, red, purple, and yellow, providing a backdrop for the collaboration and community spaces positioned off reception. The use of black accents creates a shadow box effect to draw employees out from their workstations, establishing a directional flow of movement for the program. Color-tinted glass dividers break up the 18,600-square-foot floorplate, balanced by light gray furnishings and floor coverings for a refined, yet energetic aesthetic.
Overhead, a custom continuous light fixture weaves around the office, guiding employees and visitors through open workspaces, collaborative areas, private meeting rooms, and executive offices. Its thoughtful design aims to foster a sense of unity and fluidity, while providing an additional point of intrigue.
TPG Architecture’s approach to Octagon’s new Connecticut office aligns the agency’s forward-thinking ethos with its cutting-edge environment, redefining how its Stamford team works better together within the fresh, functional, and striking workspace.
