Challenge
As Henny Penny experienced rapid growth, its headquarters needed to evolve. The space had to support expansion while helping attract and retain talent. At the same time, employees needed more flexibility. The workplace had to balance focus, collaboration, and privacy—without losing the company’s industrial character or warmth.
Vision
First, the team set out to create an open, modern workplace. One that reflected Henny Penny’s culture and supported new ways of working. Industrial elements like high ceilings and concrete floors were paired with warm finishes. In addition, the design prioritized a variety of spaces—personal, collaborative, and private—to support wellbeing and long-term growth.
Collaboration
To begin, the Henny Penny team visited the LOTH Work Studio to explore possibilities. From there, LOTH partnered closely with JLL and GRA+D Architects to align on both function and aesthetics. Together, the team curated a mix of height-adjustable benching, workstations, and collaboration zones. Meanwhile, room pods were strategically placed throughout the space to provide easy access to privacy and focused work—without disrupting openness.
Result
Ultimately, the completed headquarters delivers a flexible, future-ready environment. Finished in January 2021, the 150,000-square-foot space now supports more than 600 employees. Today, a variety of work settings encourage focus, collaboration, and connection. As a result, the workplace supports growth, enhances the employee experience, and positions Henny Penny to attract and retain talent for years to come.
