Office renovation for AskQ: meeting room and biophilic design

Founded in 2021, Ask Q worked as a fully remote team during most of the COVID-19 pandemic. Setting new standards in legal managed services by providing on-demand legal counsel and management, their clients span industries from Pharma and Finance, to Technology and Media, and more.

“Renovating your offices is more than building walls and putting in furniture. It’s really about people. The key is to find a partner that understands that.”

The Context

Because Ask Q launched during a global pandemic, their people were working fully remote. This means there was no space yet for the team to come together and collaborate freely. But in 2022, Ask Q pushed forward with their strategic growth plan.

‍

They went all-in on their search for talent. Then it was time to get a one-of-a-kind workspace that would grow with their team. And since most of their staff was made up of lawyers who required quiet spaces, Ask Q needed a variety of working zones tailored to their activities and ways of working.

The Outcome

Once the team completed the discovery survey in the first part of the design process, it was clear that Ask Q needed Space Refinery’s meaningful design approach to create multiple, flexible, and functional spaces. The result was an open floor plan for collaboration and socializing and additional areas, each with their own purpose, to enable and encourage hybrid working.

‍

Their new tailored workspace allows everyone to connect and bond, effortlessly, while they work. This aligns with their values such as transparency and pragmatism, especially in their open spaces. Their fresh and youthful brand is incorporated in the colorful pastels of the space. So now, the Ask Q team enjoys movie nights and quiz fun in their multifunctional spaces with all the right accessories. Their kitchen has become the perfect spot for team lunches and happy hours.
