An Ambience That Progresses With The Day

The Zendesk office feels different at four o’clock in the afternoon than it does at ten in the morning. The interior lighting cycles through four modes from ‘early morning’ and ‘mid morning’ to ‘afternoon’ and ‘late afternoon’, so the light level (and the mood) in the office adjusts itself as the day progresses. In the late afternoon, the reception lounge is bathed in a pleasant, mellow glow – a surprising ambience to find in an office. This specification for lights in the 2700K colour temperature range is unusual for a workplace project, but exemplifies the values and design standards of the company, if not the conviction and the level of detail with which the vision of an ideal office has been executed.
