The firm of Margulies Perruzzi Architects has just issued some photos of the interior design work it did for the new Innovation District headquarters of the vehicle-sharing service Zipcar Inc.

Having outgrown its previous space in Cambridge, Zipcar sought a more efficient and organized office environment that would foster a greater sense of community for its new headquarters, Margulies Perruzzi Architects, or MPA, said.

Zipcar ultimately decided to lease 46,000 square feet of space at 35 Thomson Place in Boston. Zipcar now occupies the entire six-story building, Janet Morra, MPA principal and project architect, said.

The new office employs a high performance workspace strategy that offers an open and productive floor plan for collaborative work, while embracing sustainability for a healthy working environment, MPA said in a press release.

With some fanfare, Zipcar marked its official mid-July move from Cambridge to Boston with a 10-car parade through the city, a Globe story noted.

Zipcars new space currently houses 230 employees and provides room to expand to 340 in the future.

Each floor features an open kitchen and collaboration area, prominently located near the elevator and stairs to facilitate spontaneous meetings, Morra said. Phone booths and privacy nooks where individuals can break off for quiet calls or work are also provided. MPA designed a ground floor caf that can be used when the entire company is called together for an event.

The walls of Zipcars new lobby are clad with recycled New England barn board, offering an immediate visual cue to the companys dedicationto sustainability, MPA added.

Margulies Perruzzi Architects finishes interior design work for new Zipcar HQ

BOSTON, Sept. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Margulies Perruzzi Architects (MPA), one of Boston's most innovative architectural and interior design firms, announced today that it recently completed interior architectural design for the new headquarters for Zipcar Inc., also located in Boston. Zipcar, the world's leading car sharing network, moved its hub from Cambridge, Mass. to 46,000 SF at 35 Thomson Place in Boston's thriving Innovation District. The new office employs a high performance workspace strategy, while embracing sustainability for a healthy working environment.

Having outgrown its previous space, Zipcar sought a more efficient and organized office environment that would foster a greater sense of community for its new headquarters. Cresa provided transaction management and project management services. Prior to the start of the design work, MPA conducted test fits to compare efficiencies of potential locations. Zipcar ultimately decided to occupy all six floors of 35 Thomson Place.

The goal for increased collaboration between employees was a constant of the design process. A flexible work desk, or "benching system," was selected, with moveable storage underneath. One end of each floor was strategically kept free of obstructions to allow for uninterrupted views of Boston Harbor, and to provide maximum daylight to the open workspaces. Where individual offices were needed, MPA was selective, keeping them to one side of each floor, and installing full glass windows along their fronts. Each floor features an open kitchen and collaboration area, and phone booths and privacy nooks for quiet calls or work.

"From our first meeting, MPA understood our culture, but more importantly, they understood how to translate that into a physical space," said Zipcar President Mark Norman. "The designers at MPA brought enthusiasm and innovative solutions, qualities also found on the Zipcar team. We're proud to be neighbors in Boston's Innovation District."
