NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC

When NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments, Inc., relocated its Los Angeles headquarters to a new floor of the same building, it sought to create a workplace that reflected the Company’s reputation among clients for reliability in value investing. It furthermore aimed to design a distinctly modern office environment equipped to meet the technological demands of today’s workplace, but one that simultaneously retained a classic aesthetic quality.

Working with design firm Aref and Associates, NWQ selected AS-1, the AutoStrada® spine-based planning model, to form an open plan trading environment that encourages communication but provides for privacy with add-up windows. The NWQ workplace adds to the already impressive AS-1 capacity for technology management by incorporating Wishbone™ flat panel monitor supports, meanwhile maintaining a more traditional appeal with a rich Cherry veneer. The Life® chair complete the workplace with its gentle curves, slim silhouette and intuitive ergonomics.
