A bright, polished pre-built suite offers a clean, modern layout with strong southern light and a skylight that brings an added sense of openness to the workspace. The layout begins with a well-defined vestibule and receptionist area positioned directly inside the entrance, creating a controlled arrival zone that supports visitors and daily operations. From this entry sequence the main workspace opens into a generous open office environment designed to accommodate a collaborative team, with two large open office zones placed toward the front of the suite so staff can work near natural light, shared circulation, and internal meeting functions.

Along the north perimeter are two private offices that stretch across the full width of the floorplate. These offices offer excellent daylight exposure thanks to the line of oversized windows that run along the northern wall, and each room is sized to comfortably accommodate executive workspace furniture or be repurposed into dedicated meeting areas when needed. Because the rooms share a common frontage, firms requiring partner offices, quiet focus rooms, or enclosed video call areas will find the configuration particularly functional. Both offices are positioned to overlook the open work area while maintaining privacy through full-height demising walls. Additional storage rooms frame each end of this office row, allowing for efficient placement of supply cabinets, servers, or materials tied to daily workflow.

The core of the suite is defined by an expansive open office zone that spans the width of the floor, allowing for flexible workstation planning. Given the ceiling height, clean white finishes, and the uninterrupted floor area, the space can support long benching systems, pods of dedicated team seating, or a blend of workstations and lounge-style breakout areas. The skylight set into the central section of the ceiling introduces a rare architectural advantage that dramatically enhances the sense of spaciousness within the open area. Natural light diffuses into the center of the floor, making the interior feel brighter throughout the day and reducing reliance on overhead fixtures.

Toward the southern side of the suite are two additional storage areas that support operations, including convenient placement for equipment, archived files, or oversize materials common to creative, design, or architecture firms. The plan’s overall symmetry and clean corridor paths make circulation intuitive from any point in the office, whether moving from the open work area to the private offices, transitioning toward the reception zone, or accessing support rooms along the perimeter.

Taken together, the blend of private offices, large open work areas, abundant daylight, and a skylight feature creates a workspace well suited for teams seeking a clean, modern office with strong architectural character in the heart of Chelsea.

Notes: Excellent southern light and views and a skylight. Currently an architect’s office, available March 2026.
