When the advertising agency J. Walter Thompson decided to rebrand themselves as JWT, they decided that it was important to have a unique and functional office space to match. Well, what they and Clive Wilkinson Architects came up with is not only functional, but very, very unique.

Their New York office space takes up nearly 250,000 square feet houses somewhere around 1000 employees. In an effort to keep creative harmonies maximized, this space has no private offices, but instead areas where groups of creative minds can assemble in both large and small numbers. As you can see, the office has a number of bright colors, as well as a ‘storytelling’ theme woven throughout. You see, JWT doesn’t want to just create advertisements, they want to create stories that people can interact with.

Beyond all of the big ideas and themes, the space has some really fun elements from the space invaders wall, to the thin wall with the story cutouts flopping all over. They also have padded ceilings that you’d be crazy not to love. They also seem to have a bar that was designed in space, or at least the future. You know, that place where people wear those silvery outfits. Enjoy the pics and video.
