Altitunes is a company that has retail outlets in airports around the country where music and portable entertainment devices are sold. The project, for their headquarters in New York, was designed to create a congenial working environment with open office areas, private offices and time-shared hubs for salespeople. The space, which offered a substantial amount of natural light, is in an early 20th century office building appropriately located on Tin Pan Alley. Two important criteria were a low budget and quick realization: the project was designed and built in 2 months.

The Altitunes identity was reinforced through the use of light and color. Rigid translucent acrylic panels, homasote and paint were used as the primary materials. The acrylic panels provide privacy while transmitting light and maintaining an atmosphere of openness in a relatively small space. Flexibility was derived from a careful analysis of actual and anticipated working procedures, which yielded a number of non-territorial areas for individuals and small groups to gather.
