After quickly outgrowing their 26,000-square-foot office, Dollar Shave Club was in need of a new headquarters to house all of their employees in Marina del Rey, California. The company enlisted Rapt Studio to design CEO Michael Dubin’s dream space that focused on connection, collaboration, and comfort for employees and visitors alike. The new 50,000-square-foot office was gutted to make way for the open floor plan, which includes communal workspaces, “squad rooms”, a massage and relaxation room, barber shop, coffee bar with barista, showers, bike stations, and more perks to make it an enviable place to work.
