A team of designers and architects from architecture firm Mark Odom Studio recently designed a new office for gaming company INK Games in Austin, Texas.

“The design team outfitted the original dry concrete shell by dropping in creative pods and collaboration zones to divide and organize the space. The plan was to pack a myriad of options depending on work style or need, creating private, semi-private and communal work areas. The creative pods also became the design focal points throughout the space with dynamic linear wood suspended from the ceiling then wrapping down to the ground. These features were additionally highlighted by integrated linear lighting marking the space as special.

The unique angles and footprint created an opportunity to offer a large private outdoor courtyard with easy access and connectivity from the indoors. The area is an actual fire separation nestled between a large parking garage and a leasable building.

The office space is occupied by INK Games™, an innovative gaming company that relocated its headquarters to Austin, TX last year. The company put their own stamp on the space commissioning famed Texas muralist Tarbox to create an energetic focal point on the courtyard and inside walls, along with other unique art installations like a Nerf armory and living plant wall.”
