Inspirational Workspace – POP

POP has a new home, a home built on the foundation of collaboration and inspiration. Our new workspace is clean and crisp, inviting and open. Individual workstations are unimpeded and only five offices exist. Pods, partially enclosed areas with white board walls, ceiling mounted projectors, and bench seating, have been thoughtfully placed throughout the office for impromptu meetings and quick critiques. Conference rooms, named after artists, come in a variety of sizes and Rauschenberg is equipped with stadium seating, creating a more casual environment.

When I first set foot in the space in late December of 2007, I knew an opportunity to create something truly special had presented itself. The building was a mess, I remember nonsensical piles of doorknobs, but it felt right. A little over a year later and I couldn't be happier with the results. Everyone involved, from the top-notch SKB Architects to all the POPsters who pitched in, did an amazing job in making our new home an exceptional workspace where no detail was too small to be ignored.

POP is located on the top floor of the historic Skinner Building, above the 5th Avenue Theater, at 1326 5th Ave in Seattle.

Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have a Brand New POP Site

It's important to find some time to focus on yourself, look at your brand, think about how well you're telling your story.

We did that at POP. We have a new website as a result.

A great many people worked vigorously to make this happen and I thank them for their extraordinary efforts.
