EQUATOR

20 N Wacker Drive
15,000 square feet

Upon realizing rapid growth, Equator retained Eastlake to design a larger office in the same building less than two years after our initial design. As a global packaging design and branding firm, it was important for Equator to identify key locations to display in-progress work, as well as areas to implement wall tattoos. Incorporating whimsical sea creature line art into the space, the workplace has a creative edge fit for a design firm. Additionally, the murals help communicate Equator's design process to both clients and recruits.
