Criteo New York (15-30k sq ft) & Paris (70k+ sq ft)

We’re thrilled to announce that K2 Space has once again received two nominations for the Criteo Global Transformation Project – this time for the Mix North Awards 24 (15-30k sq ft. and 70k + sq ft., recognising the New York and Paris across different categories.

In New York, our design consolidated four floors into a single 20,000 sq ft floorplate, reducing the space by 35% while supporting Criteo’s fully flexible working model. The space enhances collaboration and social interaction, with brand elements integrated into areas like the cafeteria and reception. Sustainable practices, including LED lighting, second-hand furniture, and local joinery, further reinforce the environmental value. Unique features like campfire meeting spaces and a curved tea point encourage informal gatherings, fostering a strong sense of community.

The Paris HQ at 32 Rue Blanche honors Criteo’s hybrid work model and heritage within a historic 9th arrondissement landmark. This space merges Parisian charm with Criteo’s vibrant culture, featuring bright, functional areas, bold furniture choices, and sustainable design methods. Functional artwork, such as acoustic trees, contributes to sound quality and infuses local flair, including cultural references and street art.

We are honored to be finalists in the Workplace Interiors categories – 15-30k sq ft for New York and 70k+ sq ft for Paris – affirming our commitment to innovative and meaningful workplace design.

Adaptive Reuse HQ Project (Sub-5,000 sq ft)

We’re thrilled to announce that K2 Space has been nominated for the Mix Awards 2025 in the Project of the Year – Workplace (Sub-5,000 sq ft) category for our transformation of a characterful 1930s building into a high-performance headquarters.

Our team reimagined the space while preserving its rich architectural heritage. Signature period elements, including the original architraves, restored herringbone timber flooring, and an iconic steel vault door, were retained and paired with contemporary joinery, cutting-edge workplace functionality, and bespoke furniture to create a truly unique environment.

Every square foot was carefully considered: the light-filled reception hall now frames hot-desking benches and an executive suite, while two intimate “vault” meeting rooms—hidden behind the restored door, offer acoustic privacy without compromising visual connectivity. The design embraced sustainable craftsmanship, including reclaimed brick and timber salvaged on-site, locally milled FSC-certified oak off-cuts for desks and shelving, and energy-efficient LED lighting with smart controls.

We are honoured to be Mix Awards 2025 finalists for Project of the Year – Workplace (Sub-5,000 sq ft), celebrating our passion for adaptive reuse, heritage-driven design, and creating workspaces that marry historical integrity with modern-day functionality.

Criteo – Global Transformation Project – Paris

The transformation of AdTech giant Criteo’s Paris HQ was a highlight of their Global Transformation Project, led by K2 Space. Criteo’s commitment to hybrid working post-pandemic required an innovative approach to the workplace’s functionality while also recognising the importance of aesthetics. Located at 32 Rue Blanche, a landmark building in the historic 9th arrondissement, Criteo’s HQ has been their home since the company’s inception and holds a special place in the heart of the organisation. In response to Criteo’s downsizing, close collaboration with the workforce was essential to design a supportive workplace that accommodates new ways of working while ensuring it remains distinctly Parisian yet unmistakably Criteo.

The workforce demanded close attention to the sustainability of the design, a challenge K2 Space was happy to accept. The project was characterised by bright, functional spaces, utilising innovative design, bold furniture choices, and sustainable methodologies and materials. The innovative use of functional artwork, such as the acoustic trees, helped divide the space and improved sound quality while injecting a bit of fun and softness into the overall design. The artwork also contributed to the localisation of the space, featuring cultural references and recognisable street art.

Criteo – Global Transformation Project – New York

The goal was to create a space that would support Criteo’s fully flexible working model, enhancing the experience of teams coming together for collaboration and social interaction while also accommodating employees who prefer regular office attendance and require more traditional resources. K2 Space’s redesign of Criteo’s New York office responded to the consolidation of four floors into a single 20,000 sq ft floorplate, resulting in a workplace that is 35% of its original size.

The project coincided with Criteo’s rebranding, enabling K2 Space to weave the new corporate identity into the design. The new shape vocabulary is evident in key areas such as the cafeteria and reception, immediately immersing visitors in Criteo’s vibrant culture.

In addition to economic and social benefits, the new space brought significant environmental advantages, including LED lighting replacing fluorescent bulbs, the extensive use of second-hand furniture, and sourcing local joinery to reduce carbon emissions. The project also incorporated unique features reflecting the company culture, like campfire meeting spaces and a curved tea point designed to encourage informal gatherings and collaboration. These elements not only elevate the office’s aesthetic appeal but also foster a sense of identity and cohesion in the workplace.

We received an award nomination for the Sustainable Design Awards 2024: Fit-Out Category for our work in the design & build of  DTRE’s office in London under a strict BREEAM accreditation programme. The project was recognised for its innovative approach in transforming an 11,000 sq ft CAT A office space into a dynamic and welcoming workplace for DTRE, emphasising sustainability throughout its development. The DTRE office features include a barista-style reception, versatile bleacher seating, an on-site gym, and private dining areas with retractable Crittall glass doors, all contributing to a workspace that promotes well-being and productivity. Achieving a BREEAM “VERY GOOD” rating for DTRE highlighted our commitment to environmental stewardship and well-being and provided DTRE with an outstanding office space for its staff and clients.
