Boston-based Margulies Perruzzi Architects (MPA) recently completed the design of 8,300 square feet of additional office space in the headquarters of global services firm Sapient at 131 Dartmouth St. in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood.

"MPA understands the collaborative way Sapient works, and our need for open and inviting work areas for our people," said Andrea Jeffrey, project manager at Sapient. "MPA’s design team did a great job replicating the design of our main space and keeping the smart and innovative vibe consistent throughout this additional floor."

In keeping with the original design of the headquarters office, MPA designed a colorful, open floor plan of "neighborhoods" and paths that connect all the departments of the company, according to a statement. The design provides flexibility for individual workstations with powered spines that allow the workstations to turn 90 degrees to cluster in groups or provide more privacy.

H&H Construction served as construction manager, and RDK Engineers provided mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering for the project.
