Varonis Offices – Portland
The Portland location of Varonis is the latest fit-out for the security software company, a space that comprises a variety of workspace options including open and private offices, collaboration and meeting areas and a communal breakroom.
Pliskin Architecture in collaboration with GBD Architects have realized the office design for Varonis, a security software company, located in Portland, Oregon.
Varonis, a leading provider of software solutions that protect data from insider threats and cyberattacks, recently completed work on a new office for their team in Portland, Oregon. Situated in a downtown Portland high-rise office, this is the latest of a series of fit-outs Varonis has completed across North America.
Pliskin Architecture, in collaboration with Portland-based GBD Architects, designed a 12,000sf workspace comprising open and private offices, collaboration and meeting areas, and a communal breakroom. The design approach provides employees multiple opportunities to experience a flexible space through adaptable functions, lighting, furniture and scale.
Open work desks line the perimeter to capitalize on the natural light from the eastern and southern exposures, while communal functions are tucked against the core, where compressed-paper acoustical tile clads the walls and acts as a backdrop to offices, conference rooms, and the breakroom. In between those spaces, a hybrid glass and wood screen wall creates a unifying transparent layer and provides additional seating and storage. In the breakroom, a long surface that serves as a table, a bench, and a reception desk and visually connects the breakroom and game room to the front entrance of the office.
