Get Any Space Virtually Staged or Designed in as Little as a Day

Created in 2006 by two advertising visionaries, Pereira & O’Dell is today one of the most influential advertising agencies in the United States. Growth came quickly and today the firm now occupies six floors of an industrial building located in downtown San Francisco. We were asked to create a relaxed, eclectic work environment with open workspaces and no individual offices. There were a few “must haves” dictated by PJ Pereira: crystal chandeliers, an eclectic collection of chairs, and a set of trophy antlers. The largest space, vast with high ceilings, contains two 15 foot long tables where each member of the creative staff has a workstation. Dozens of crystal chandeliers are suspended from the ceiling, an amusing contrast to the starkly industrial space. A mezzanine level decorated with mid-century furniture functions as a waiting room. A large open steel and glass staircase, lit by two giant chandeliers, link the floors of the agency. The many meeting rooms were given different personalities and names. There is the Fireplace, the Interrogation, Dark & Stormy, Eight is Enough, the Growing Pains, just to name a few. The décor of each is consistent with the name! The art and accessories displayed throughout the office follow the agency’s creative concept and include a broad collection of art collected over the years at local markets and exhibitions.

In 2013, Pereira & O’Dell, the award winning advertising firm, made the decision to establish an office in New York City. After a long search, a lease was signed for premises on Crosby Street in Soho. We were retained to design the new spaces. The building, an old industrial building, had similar characteristics to the San Francisco office; it was decided to create a décor that would link both offices. PJ Pereira dictated the same “must haves”: crystal chandeliers, an eclectic collection of chairs, and a set of trophy antlers. When entering the reception area, one is greeted by a seven-foot tall chandelier and an industrial style reception table. Oversized sofas, lounge chairs and a cow hide rug complete the area. Adjacent to the reception area, a small room called “combover” is furnished with a round Saarinen Tulip table and an eclectic mix of chairs and art. Other small meeting rooms, used for conference calls and client meetings are located in opposite corners of the space. Like in San Francisco, the rooms are named by the staff, with the décor of each space relating to its name. The main area consists of large communal working tables following the San Francisco edict of no enclosed offices. Light is provided by a row of crystal chandeliers. Lounge seating and decorative shelving are scattered around the office.

Located in a vintage brick building in San Francisco Design District, my office reflects my passion for collecting and design. My studio is at the same time an experimental space to try new ideas and a place to display treasured objects. I have divided the one large high-ceiling space into a reception area, working area, meeting room and pantry. The reception area reproduces a part of the room I designed for 2013 San Francisco Designer Showcase and consists of a custom cold rolled steel sofa and attached bookshelf. The seating is upholstered in burlap following traditional French mattress construction. The main area is symmetrical: in the center, a large 17 foot island is used by the staff for presentations and layout and provides substantial storage. On each side of the island, individual workstations were constructed with bent cold rolled steel. The conference area is set off by steel bookshelves inset with a pair of antique Chinese doors. A large concrete conference table is paired with natural saddle cab armchairs. The framed painted wood panels on the walls are particularly dear to me as they were part of a 17th century Portuguese coffered ceiling in a residence that has been in my family since the time of installation. Adjacent to the conference table is a cozy lounge area that incorporates a 17th century Jacobean chair upholstered in bargello and an antique Vargueno on a Chinese table. My collections, ranging from Han Dynasty pottery to numerous carpenter tools, are displayed throughout the office on the floor, shelves, tables, and window ledges.
