Description:

Deseret Digital Media (DDM) is a media and online services company, associated with media giants including KSL Broadcasting and the Deseret News. Expanding into a floor adjacent to their current spaces,
their goals were to provide a new model for highly collaborative space, designed specifically for the way that they work. They also identified a need for integrated multimedia capabilities, seamlessly combining
digital and analog methods of communication.

DDM prefers open-office working environments, combined with a variety of collaborative spaces, and individual ‘flex’ spaces. Axis chose to organize their three distinct groups of open-office space around central conference rooms and ‘scrum’ spaces. Scrum is a term borrowed from rugby, which describes a combined team effort to push the work forward. Every aspect of the project is geared to this ideal. The boundaries between the different types of spaces were designed to be dynamic and energetic. DDM wanted an intimate and unique space, without a ‘corporate’ feel.

From the outset, DDM was interested in a modular wall system with very well integrated multimedia capabilities. Axis worked with the client group to exploit the capabilities of this system fully; traveling
with them to the manufacturer’s production site for more insight. We were able to combine this system successfully with normal construction methods and an aggressive construction schedule.
