With over two decades of service and 60 million users, PayByPhone is the highest-rated parking app in the world. PayByPhone’s staff, like many others, had grown accustomed to working from home throughout the last few years. To overcome the limitations of remote work and bring the team together, PayByPhone decided it was time to design and build the ultimate tech office. With the help of Aura, PayByPhone was able to transform its office space to meet the demands of its hybrid workforce.

Supporting Collaboration in the Age of Hybrid Work

One of the project’s main goals was to bring a playful element to the office and transform it from a place of work to a place of enjoyment. While still supplying standard meeting rooms and workstations on their reception level, PayByPhone dedicated an entire floor to collaboration, staff enjoyment and wellness. The lower floor provides extensive space options for staff to meet, collaborate and get together. Some features included are a large staff kitchen, booths, various seating options, ping pong tables, and foosball for those who like to meet over a game or two. The designers selected these elements to help increase collaboration and give employees a reason to come into the office. The office also has a solid biophilic presence, using the company’s previous plant collection and building on it by adding more plants and several preserved green walls. Overall, the new office is much brighter and more open, with a strong focus on collaboration, team building, and community.
