The only way to create an image for a company is to listen to what a client says about its staff, its products and services. The design solution must be a translation of those verbal images to visual images of space and materials.

It was clear to us that the image for the new headquarters for Factset would evolve primarily from management’s feelings about their staff.

Factset combines more than 100 databases into a single online information system to provide the investment community with the most comprehensive integrated financial and economic information.

The word quality best describes the Factset obsession. In order to have a quality product they start with the best and the brightest and every day do thousands of quality tests of their products to assure the validity of the information they deliver.

The space designed by CPG mirrors that quality requirement. CPG used the highest quality materials and systems in an elegant way to create an environment that is extremely functional, quite flexible and yet looks very understated. Materials were selected for their simplicity, durability and functionality.

The size and appointments to the workstations and offices combined with the attention to detail like the quality of indirect light reinforces the importance of the staff.

The image created is timeless.
