Tinder HQ

The goal for the Tinder HQ design was to support the Tinder workforce on their mission to keep the magic of human connection alive. Meaningful connections are made in a variety of environments and connection is a process - all relationships (both romantic and friendly) typically start casually and deepen in intensity as they develop and flourish. The Tinder office pays homage to this process in the amenity spaces, drawing from various public space typologies; referencing their physical characteristics, ephemeral qualities, and spatial relationships. The journey begins at ‘the town square’ on the ground floor; open, public and raw in its material finishes and as the user moves up towards the top floor, these amenity spaces become more refined, quiet, private and rely on being in the know/connected.
