Year Completed: 2001
Netaid is a global humanitarian foundation fighting extreme poverty. The uninspiring 5,000 square foot raw space chosen as
their new headquarters in NYC had to be transformed into a highly functional, cost effective but engaging
environment for both their (mostly young) staff
as well as the many dignitaries visiting the offices.
A self-imposed design quideline was established to not breach a relatively modest threshold of
luxury, and opt
for a lean, ‘dry’ design appropriate for the organization.
