Creativity Abounds In This Three-Story HQ For Neiman Marcus

2024 Best of Year Winner for Large Creative Office

Luxury retailer Neiman Marcus’s 80,000-square-foot, three-story headquarters in Dallas by Gensler was strategically conceived as a remote-hybrid model allowing employees to work wherever they want—when they want. Autonomy and choice rule. Staffers can sit at workstations, in collaboration rooms, or in lounges designed to reflect a particular flagship store: Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, or New York. Anchoring the HQ is a triple-height atrium, replete with 300 suspended butterflies (a nod to the brand identity) and mobile furniture that can be rearranged or removed for conversion into a grand events space. Tech innovations abound: Telecom, video, and virtual whiteboards enable a 70/30 ratio of collaboration-oriented areas to individual workspaces and support staffers as they connect remotely with colleagues across corporate locations, distri­bution centers, and retail sites.
