Mojo Tech, a Web-application development company, expanded into 6,400 square feet of renovated space earlier this year, taking its operations into a second floor. The design challenge, according to principal architect Christine West of Kite Architects, involved incorporating the flow of work and energy between the two floors. The project, completed in April, resulted in a custom-fabricated staircase connecting the two levels, and a transformation of what had been a conventional office space into the open workspace sought by Mojo Tech. While most of the office is open to encourage collaboration among employees, the design affords them private spaces for phone calls and meetings as well.
