Ad-tech Office by Vocon

From a New York office inspired by barbershops to a Seattle headquarters with cocoon-like nooks, explore these corporate spaces designed by Interior Design‘s 2025 Top 100 and Rising Giants firms.

In the Gilded Age, furriers, milliners, and dressmakers occupied a stretch of Flatiron District blocks known as the Ladies’ Mile, showcasing wares to well-heeled shoppers through ornate window displays in cast-iron storefronts. One such landmarked 1899 building now houses an ad-tech firm’s five-story office. The 147,000-square-foot vertical campus is LEED Gold–certified and, according to Vocon Design Director Lauren Dennison, “inspired by the rhythm of the city grid and the warmth of New York’s diverse communities.”

A pixel-effect wall of white-oak blocks greets employees and visitors in reception, where flooring is polished concrete inlaid with meandering sections of carpet tile. Nearby is the “pocket park,” a seating nook beneath a garden by John Mini Distinctive Landscapes that cascades from an LED fixture resembling a sunlit oculus. On the top floor, a flex space with plush but streamlined seating is backdropped by a wall of deco-esque patterns created by accenting curved oak panels populated by RBW’s Dimple sconces. Throughout, environmental graphics by Archigrafika celebrate New York ephemera, like the iconic plastic deli bag, nodding to the site’s retail past. —Lisa Di Venuta
