e.l.f. Cosmetics
Oakland, California
Cosmetics and makeup company e.l.f.’s new downtown Oakland offices gracefully juxtapose the company’s polished image with the local, raw aesthetic of its brick warehouse home, creating an environment suited to the brand’s natural, yet refined products. The workplace conveys the international beauty company’s sophistication and creativity while expressing the building’s authentic character – heavy timber, high ceilings and generous use of brick. The open and naturally lit office encourages informal gatherings, with centrally located workstations flanked by collaboration and common areas that feature custom couches, coffee tables and a small kitchen/café.
