1000 Heads
New York, NY
After signing a lease at 55 Broadway in downtown Manhattan, 1000 Heads approached StudioSC about their office relocation and design. The space was an empty "white box" and they were looking for a new office vision that would transmit their company ethos throughout the space all while making sure the office was uniquely New York. StudioSC principal, Stephen Conte, immediately thought of a university colleague who has been crafting a name for himself in the artworld, Bisco Smith. "Bisco's work is all about written narratives using street art that resonates with New York. 1000 Heads prides itself as a word of mouth agency with a unique story to tell. Combining the two felt natural and merged their story, art and architecture as the driving concept behind the project."

The interior design of the office embraces a monochromatic palette, heavily influenced by street art and bold graphic elements, creating a unique visual identity. The materials selected reflect a balance between industrial and modern aesthetics, featuring polished concrete, exposed ceilings and an art installation by Bisco Smith.
The common areas were designed to encourage collaboration and creativity, incorporating playful, bright colors and geometric shapes that contrast the otherwise neutral palette. Bold, saturated hues enliven the lounge spaces, while playful furniture and organic forms create a more relaxed and engaging atmosphere. These areas combine functionality with artistic expression, ensuring that every corner of the office reflects 1000 Heads’ creative ethos, while maintaining a cohesive design language throughout the space.
