The team in the bustling city renovates the space to provide a warmer and more comfortable ambiance. This came into fruition after the work lifestyle change following the pandemic, allowing the team to rethink the layout and the functions as a whole. Senior designer at Gensler, Kirk Bairian states, "Rather than confine our designers to a desk or a conference room, we developed a kit-of-parts inclusive of typical sit-stand workstations, communal tables, focus pods, booths, material layout islands, and more. Gensler is built on a [studio system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banda-agency-kyiv) which is critical to our design culture, and each studio was able to use this kit-of-parts to customise their space to reflect the specific ways in which they work."
