The latest Dollar Shave Club HQ not only increases the size of the company's space but also focuses more on connection, collaboration and comfort for employees and visitors. Designed by Rapt Studio, the new 50,000-square-foot office is situated in a gutted warehouse and was built to fit Dollar Shave Club's CEO Michael Dubin's dream space.
In order to achieve a more comfortable and collaborative space, Rapt Studio turned to a more open floor plan, which includes plenty of communal workspaces, 'squad rooms' and open meeting rooms. The Dollar Shave Club HQ also includes plenty of amenities for employees and visitors with a massage and relaxation room, coffee bar with barista, showers, bike stations and of course a barber shop stocked with Dollar Shave Club goods.
