The ‘design and innovation’ hub features a robotics workshop, wet lab and bespoke furniture

Foster + Partners, in collaboration with OXMAN, has completed a headquarters for the New York City-based design firm.

Oxman’s ‘design and innovation lab’ comprises a 36,000 sqft facility spread across two floors – the lower intended for collaboration and the upper for research – with both indoor and outdoor facilities.
