Northwestern Mutual / Santa Monica, CA

Santa Monica, CA
GOAL

Theme Ask: A modern, collaborative headquarters designed to maximize productivity and comfort while reflecting the company’s innovative, people-first culture.

Space Start: A standard commercial office with limited storage, minimal branding, and underutilized areas lacking warmth and cohesion.

End Space: A functional and inviting workplace where purpose meets design — featuring defined zones for collaboration, focus, and connection. From the vibrant entry lounge and executive suite to the upgraded meeting rooms and open workstations, every detail was curated for efficiency and style. Custom furnishings, layered textures, and thoughtful wall accents bring character and flow to a once utilitarian environment.
