Client: HOWSO

Concept: Human Connection in an AI World

HOWSO, is a leading company that develops and utilizes trustworthy AI to help customers analyze and share their data. HOWSO recently moved to Smoky Hollow in Raleigh, and their new workplace was required to be inviting, fresh, modern, and a place where employees wanted to come into, be productive, socialize, and interact with one another. A place that encourages collaboration and human connection. TBD has provided a variety of synergetic spaces that include an open soft seating collaboration space with a large writable surface to exchange ideas on, a social area where everyone can engage in gaming and conversation, and a café that provides multiple seating arrangements. This café opens up to the reception/social area via a series of pivoting panels when bigger events are taking place. Visiting colleagues are also provided hoteling desks with lockers to safekeep their belongings from day to day. With these thoughtfully designed spaces, HOWSO’s new workplace not only meets but exceeds the expectations for a modern, dynamic, and collaborative environment, fostering innovation and connectivity among its team members.
