Community-Based Design
To build a thriving and resilient community, workplaces must offer a range of spaces and experiences – places that easily adapt to change, and where people can come together to do their best work. See More >
At Hyphn, we believe the best workplaces are built at the intersection of strategy, design, and technology. Our mission is simple — to transform the environments where people connect, work, and learn.
We don’t just design for our clients — we live it ourselves. When we reimagined our own space, we applied the same integrated approach we bring to every project: connecting people, place, and technology to create a workplace that inspires collaboration, adaptability, and belonging.
Watch how we transformed our own workplace below — and see what’s possible when every element works together.
A behind-the-scenes look at how Hyphn transformed its own workplace — demonstrating People, Place & Tech in action.
Since opening, the Hyphn San Diego Mission Valley Experience Center has sparked stronger team engagement and a renewed sense of community. Meeting rooms are constantly active, collaboration feels natural, and clients can immediately see themselves in the space. More than a workplace, it’s a working prototype — an Experience Lab that demonstrates how thoughtful design, culture, and technology converge to create environments where people thrive.
We design environments that inspire focus, creativity, and connection.

Community is the glue that holds people together during change and adversity. When people feel a sense of community, they are far more likely to be engaged and productive, have higher levels of wellbeing and achieve better results. The workplace is a strategic asset organizations can use as the infrastructure for building community. In this issue of Work Better magazine, see how existing, underperforming office spaces can be transformed using Community-Based Design principles. And explore why privacy – the #1 need in the office right now – has many possibilities.
