RSM – Fort Lauderdale

Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL

International accounting firm RSM wanted to transform its Fort Lauderdale office into a hybrid work environment where employees could work from home but meet at the office for collaborations and client meetings. Starting over in a new location would give the office a chance to modernize, reduce its footprint, and create flexible workspaces that would align with this new workplace strategy.

The new Fort Lauderdale office is located on the penthouse level of a new development in a growing area of the city. With 24-foot-high ceilings, the benefits of natural light were maximized with 22-foot-high windows and custom lighting built into the window frames so that nothing detracts from amazing views of the city. Shared on-demand workstations were placed along the perimeter and interior conference rooms have glass walls to also access the light and views. Shelving with planters act as dividers of spaces while not walling off areas and letting light through. Completing the office’s naturescape are custom wall graphics resembling sunsets, a nod to the office’s proximity to the beach.

A mix of seating areas – from desks to couches to private phone booth offices – let employees work where it fits their needs for the day. The reception area includes a social hub with a warm-toned wood wall and hightop seating. Finishes throughout the office include RSM’s trademark blue in the rugs, walls and furniture.

RSM’s new Fort Lauderdale office space provides flexibility to meet the changing needs of its workforce, with a modern look and amenities that have drawn employees back to the office. More gathering spaces were fit into the smaller footprint to accommodate the more collaborative nature of how work is performed in the office. RSM-Fort Lauderdale opened in the spring of 2023.
