Boston – After 34 years in Cambridge, architecture and interior design firm Tsoi/Kobus & Associates is relocating to 60 State Street, Boston and rebranding under the name Tsoi Kobus Design.

The firm has applied its design expertise to its new workspace, which will include evidence-based features that support collaboration and innovation, boost employee health and wellness, and brand the firm as a leader in forward-thinking, functional design.
The new office will be one of the first spaces in the city to be certified in WELL Building Standards. WELL is a holistic building design approach that focuses on human health and well-being, addressing employee behavior, operations, and compatible/functional design.
“Our new company name, Tsoi Kobus Design, is a subtle adjustment that better encompasses who we are and what we do,” says Rick Kobus, design principal.

The process of designing the new space offered up a welcome challenge for the firm’s diverse group of designers to rethink how they function in their own space. After months of holding internal design charrettes, conducting blind email surveys, and monitoring how the internal team works, Tsoi Kobus Design developed a flexible and engaging design studio that offers a myriad of collaborative and independent workspaces and gathering areas.
John Moorhead, Tsoi Kobus design associate principal, says: “We pride ourselves on being an ‘ideas’ firm, always experimenting and searching for the optimal solutions for our clients. When the opportunity came to move our office location, we jumped at the possibility to put this same great thinking to work for ourselves. We are enthusiastic about joining the Boston community of talent at our new headquarters.”
