Ware Malcomb, an international design firm with an office on Roszel Road in West Windsor, has completed construction on new office space for Amicus Therapeutics at 47 Hulfish Street in downtown Princeton.
Ware Malcomb provided interior architecture and design services for the new office, which encompasses 27,200 square feet on the fourth and fifth floors of the Palmer Square building. General contracting services for the project were provided by Sweetwater Construction Corp.
The Princeton location serves as the global headquarters for Amicus, a biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing, and delivering high-quality medicines for people living with rare diseases.
“We focused on creating a space that built upon Princeton’s community feel, as well as addressing Amicus’ desire for flexible workspaces and convenient amenities. Our team designed an interior to not only meet the employees’ functional needs but also enrich their overall experience, focusing on creating a sense of belonging and inspiration,” said Marlyn Zucosky, regional director for Ware Malcomb.
The overall office is open, contemporary, and sophisticated, designed with a neighborhood concept. The interior design emphasized creation of a common core, with a series of cohesive elements that promote connectivity between the flexible office areas that surround it. These include large angled baffled designs with integrated lighting, strategically employed as acoustical elements, while also guiding and seamlessly blending transitions between spaces.
With a goal of catering to various work styles and promoting collaboration, creativity and well-being, the team incorporated agile work environments throughout the design. Enclosed meeting rooms double as offices and larger meeting rooms have movable walls to provide flexibility to the preferred use. Ceilings were extended beyond enclosed spaces to the adjacent collaboration areas, which maximized square footage usage and created a sense of openness and unity.
The team also incorporated branded storytelling graphics into the boardroom area, unassigned mobile workstations, and collaboration areas. With a purpose of creating moments of inspiration, the branding and graphic elements highlight the patient’s journey and underscore the interconnectedness between corporate objectives and the human element. The entire space also integrates elements of biophilia and neurodiversity, along with sustainable practices to enhance connectivity to nature and contribute to a healthier indoor environment.
