Toast Inc. HeadquartersProject Management, Brand Implementation, Interactive Installations

Seeking to relocate their growing team, Toast came to Sasaki to design their future office headquarters. To make the space uniquely Toast and celebrate their brand, Sasaki’s environmental graphic design team developed graphic interventions tailored to in the intended uses of different spaces. Primary gathering and circulation spaces are adorned with bigger and brighter colors to promote more dynamic activities, while working areas and meeting rooms use a more tonal and subtle graphic application to reflect the quieter programming of those spaces. Interventions include a custom fabricated pegboard display wall, image collages, a custom Boston skyline graphic, and color wayfinding supergraphics. In meeting rooms, Toast icons are represented in glass privacy film as knocked-out icons, revealing the meeting space beyond.





 


As an immediate welcome to the space, the lobby features a product display system that is fully customizable, allowing Toast to tailor the experience for different guests and clients. The interactive pegboard wall was custom fabricated to fit within the main customer zone and showcases Toast’s values and innovations.
A simple approach to wayfinding is achieved with repetitive floor plans and intuitive layouts. The wayfinding super-graphics contrast with other visual or tactile cues and are often strategically positioned relative to the main circulation of each floor.
