Amicus Therapeutics Offices – Princeton
Ware Malcomb designed a sophisticated and open office for Amicus Therapeutics in Princeton, emphasizing connectivity, flexibility, and well-being, with elements of biophilia and sustainable practices integrated throughout.
Ware Malcomb completed a new office location for Amicus Therapeutics at 47 Hulfish Street in downtown Princeton, New Jersey. Ware Malcomb provided interior architecture and design services for the new office, encompassing 27,200 square feet on the fourth and fifth floors of the building, located in the Palmer Square district just a block from Princeton University.
The Princeton location serves as the company’s global headquarters for Amicus, a global, patient-dedicated biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing and delivering high-quality medicines for people living with rare diseases.
The overall office is open, contemporary and sophisticated, designed with a neighborhood concept. The interior design emphasized creation of a common core, with a series of cohesive elements that promote connectivity between the flexible office areas that surround it. These include large angled baffled designs with integrated lighting, strategically employed as acoustical elements, while also guiding and seamlessly blending transitions between spaces.
With a goal of catering to various work styles and promoting collaboration, creativity and well-being, the team incorporated agile work environments throughout the design. Enclosed meeting rooms double as offices and larger meeting rooms have movable walls to provide flexibility to the preferred use. Ceilings were extended beyond enclosed spaces to the adjacent collaboration areas, which maximized square footage usage and created a sense of openness and unity.
The team also incorporated branded storytelling graphics into the boardroom area, unassigned mobile workstations and collaboration areas. With a purpose of creating moments of inspiration, the branding and graphic elements highlight the patient’s journey and underscore the interconnectedness between corporate objectives and the human element. The entire space also integrates elements of biophilia and neurodiversity, along with sustainable practices to enhance connectivity to nature and contribute to a healthier indoor environment.
