The award-winning team designed Visit Orlando’s new office space

Rooted in functionality, the new office serves as a vibrant hub, enhancing Visit Orlando’s overall efficiency. Open office workspaces accommodate both the organization’s work style and emphasis on collaborative culture. The lounge and adjacent areas are interconnected, allowing them to be easily repurposed as meeting and event spaces. Additional amenities include a boardroom with a hospitality kitchen, an employee breakroom, a cafe and accessible restrooms, making the space cross-functional, inclusive, and welcoming.
The 23,000-square-foot space is located on the third floor of the 6649 Westwood Office complex. Upon arrival, visitors are welcomed with an inviting hosting suite, reflecting Visit Orlando’s mission, core values and expertise in the industry with an awards and honors wall showcase. Design details, including the customized environmental graphics that are woven throughout the facility, communicate Visit Orlando’s strong identity and are a direct reflection of Visit Orlando’s global brand.
“When designing the new office space, our goal was to honor the organization’s mission and global identity while also developing cutting-edge spaces to effectively serve the team for years to come,” said Ekta Desai, Partner and Design Lead at Schenkel Shultz. “Our design reflects a welcoming, innovative workplace environment that is rooted in the distinct values of Visit Orlando.”
