Designed by Rapt Studio, the new 50,000-square-foot office is situated in a gutted warehouse and was built to fit Dollar Shave Club's CEO Michael Dubin's dream space. In order to achieve a more comfortable and collaborative space, Rapt Studio turned to a more [open floor plan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deveron-office), which includes plenty of communal workspaces, 'squad rooms' and open meeting rooms. The Dollar Shave Club HQ also includes plenty of amenities for employees and visitors with a [massage and relaxation room](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/health-club), coffee bar with barista, showers, bike stations and of course a barber shop stocked with Dollar Shave Club goods.
