NAVEX Global, a rapidly growing ethics and compliance company, needed a new corporate headquarters that reflected the company’s culture and brand and could accommodate a larger workforce. Through a collaborative process, Mackenzie designed a creative workspace that’s responsive to the nuances of NAVEX’s philosophy and guiding principles. Their new space is livable and marked by a sense of transparency and connectivity: it’s a creative office thoroughly informed by the ideals and aspirations of the people who use it.

It was crucial that NAVEX’s employees be able to connect easily and collaborate in spaces separate from their individual workstations.
The two floors are connected by a central monumental stair, with open spaces at the top and bottom, providing a large contiguous space in which employees can engage with one another.
Conference and huddle spaces all use glass to promote an atmosphere of transparency, while providing “we” spaces away from employees’ “me” spaces.
The space encourages a “live, work, play” environment in which employees have a level of choice over how and where they work, with ample opportunity for chance encounters with one another, prompting broader collaboration and innovation.
Natural materials like reclaimed wood and wool upholstery are used to create a warm, lived-in atmosphere.
