Karma的设计简介很短，但很清楚：设计一个有40个桌子的空间，充足的休息区域，一个战争室，一个40岁的公共午餐空间，适合这个品牌，他们不得不在4个星期内搬进去。

Karma’s design brief was short, but clear: Design a space with 40 desks, ample break out areas, a war room, communal lunch space for 40, that fits the brand, and they had to move in there in 4 weeks.

Karma是一家科技初创公司，受荷兰的强大影响，它为美国带来了清晰、简单、诚实和强大的无线网络产品。在没有陷入典型的启动设计陷阱-用幻灯片创建一个工业别致的阁楼设计-的情况下，FormNation依靠自己的荷兰背景和设计影响，创造出一种注重干净荷兰设计与美国设计相结合的美学。

Karma is a tech start up with strong Dutch influences, that brings a clear, simple, honest and powerful wifi product to the US. Without falling into the typical start up design trap of creating an industrial chic loft design with a slide, FormNation relied on its own Dutch background and design influences to create an aesthetic that focused on a mix of clean Dutch design with American design.

L形的空间在一个工业阁楼里有一个14英尺高的锡天花板，从一面墙上的大窗户发出大量的自然光，可以俯瞰小意大利，为协作和交流提供了完美的环境。

The L-shaped space boasts a 14’ tin ceiling in an industrial loft with an abundance of natural light from large windows along one wall that overlooks Little Italy and provides the perfect environment for collaboration and communication.

该空间分为三个主要区域：工作：五颜六色的通道蓝色和灰色地砖欢迎员工和客人一样进入办公室。员工办公桌布置在一个干净的格子里，舒适的休息室座位存在于中间的过道中，供交谈，所有的办公桌都可以看到窗户，这样每个人都可以欣赏到风景和阳光。富丽堂皇的大白三角灯，创造了一个舒适的工作环境和完美的工作灯光。在这个空间的顶端是一个超大的公司标志，以荷兰橙色为标志，类似于一个全美国的加油站。

The space is divided into 3 main areas: Work: A colorful pathway of blue and grey floor tiles welcomes employees and guests alike into the office. Employee desks are laid out in a clean grid, comfortable lounge seating exist in the center aisle for conversations and the windows are visible from all desks so everyone can enjoy the view and sunlight. The large, white Delta lights by Rich Brilliant Willing create a cozy work environment and the perfect working light. To top off the space is an oversized company logo, in iconic Dutch orange, resembling an all-American gas station. 

 Floor Plan

会议/私人：FormNation在现有会议室的基础上建立了一个扩展，以便在一个中心位置为会议和集思广益会议创建一个开放的战争室。会议室通过玻璃墙和功能提供透明，因为这些墙经常被用来写会议记录。会议室是斯堪的纳维亚设计与美国工业时尚的结合。

Meet/private: FormNation built an extension to the existing conference rooms to create an open war room for meetings and brainstorming sessions in a central location. The conference rooms offer transparency through their glass walls and functionality as the walls are often used to write meeting notes. The conference rooms are a mix of Scandinavian design with American industrial chic.

放松/突破：紧邻会议室的是一个足够大的午餐空间，可以容纳整个办公室，有一张长长的公共桌子和40盏现代手工灯具，融合了布鲁克林的工业设计和欧洲风格。按照荷兰的传统，Karma员工每天一起吃午餐，然后散步去喝咖啡。这已经成为卡玛现在的常态，但对于新员工来说，从一天中抽出一个小时吃饭，而不谈论工作，这还是很奇怪的。

Relax/break out: Adjacent to the meeting rooms is a lunch space big enough for the entire office with a long communal table and 40 modern handmade lamps that provide a mix of Brooklyn industrial design and European flair. Following Dutch tradition, Karma employees eat lunch together every day and then take a walk to get coffee. It’s become the norm for Karma now but it’s still strange for new employees to take an hour from their day to eat and not talk about work. 

员工们经常喜欢在冲泡的地方喝咖啡，里面有灰色的摩洛索沙发和白色的标志性的盎格鲁灯。

Employees often enjoy their coffee in the break out space featuring grey Moroso sofas and iconic Anglepoise lamps in white.
