Embracing the post-pandemic shift towards a hybrid work model and smaller office space, Floura Teeter Landscape Architects (FTLA) signed a lease for a space on the fifth floor of a new high-rise building in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore. The catch: the new space has a footprint that is half the size of FTLA’s previous offices.

Working within a 3,740 sf floor plate, FTLA’s new home has the capacity to accommodate up to 20 team members on occasions when the full staff meets and also host clients and events.
Previously located in a historic space with several rooms
disconnected from one another and with limited light, the new
footprint provided an opportunity to create an open, light-filled studio with expansive views of the city and exterior balcony filled with plantings.

Clad in a minimal palette with warm wood accents, the space features a flexible floor plan with open studio and multiple
hoteling work stations, casual seating areas for work and collaboration opportunities surrounding a central volume of support spaces while building core elements and bathrooms remain removed from the primary space. Elements carved out of the wood-paneled core and finished in dark tones in contrast to the bright envelope include the central kitchen that connects the studio to the breakout rooms and acts as the social center of the space while also offering additional space for team members to work from. FTLA’s new space offers multiple options for both individual and collaborative work environments and embraces a flexible and social office model.
