Red Hat
Innovation Meets Fabrication at Red Hat's Boston Office
Client: Red Hat I Design: Downstream I Fabricator: Xibitz
The Challenge
Red Hat’s Boston office brings together their Executive Briefing Center, Open Innovation Labs, and Engineering community under one roof. The environment needed to emphasize collaboration and inspiration, not only for the Red Hat internal team, but for their visiting clients and partners as well.
Connecting the executive space with the main floor is a fantastic 17-foot video wall. We developed a system that both supported the waterfall screens and enabled easy maintenance. The steel frames were built using a drawer-slide method, allowing each monitor to slide out from the wall. This seemingly-simple solution required extreme precision — the final result had to look like one continuous, solid piece.
The Result
With numerous media interactives throughout the space, exacting quality was demanded to ensure an immersive, fluid experience. Guided by Downstream’s design vision, we successfully implemented custom graphics, displays, and a suite of technological solutions.
The Executive Briefing Center is a perfect example: wrapped in wall-to-wall touchscreen technology, it’s a testament of Red Hat’s own software solutions, while simultaneously fostering further collaboration and ideation.
From the responsive reception wall to the hidden bar, surprising and delightful moments bring energy and excitement to the space. Every addition contributes to a sense of wonder and inspiration — the perfect atmosphere for one of the world’s largest and most innovative tech companies.
