What Workplace Studio does

Workplace Studio is a boutique interior design firm and creative consultancy headquartered in Geneva, Illinois, specializing in workplace design for corporate offices, coworking operators, multifamily developers, hospitality venues, and event spaces. The firm delivers an integrated six-service suite spanning Design Services, Interior Design, Office Fit Out, Interior Refurbishment, Furniture Specification & Procurement, and Coworking Consulting, structured around a three-phase process of Discovery, Design Strategy & Planning, and Implementation. Its underlying methodology blends conceptual design with sociology and psychology principles to optimize space for productivity, collaboration, and community.

The company is a privately held LLC founded in 2014 (originally as The Hauser Group and rebranded to Workplace Studio in 2026), led by founder and CEO Mara Hauser alongside a six-person team including a Managing Director, Director of Procurement and Facilities, Lead Designer, Senior Designer, and Project Manager. It generates revenue through professional services engagements — design fees, feasibility consulting, and FF&E procurement — delivered via a consultative direct-sales motion targeting enterprise and mid-market clients. The firm has completed projects across 48 US states and 5 Canadian provinces, with a portfolio spanning coworking brands (25N Coworking, FUSE, Pacific Workplaces, Hayvn, Workspace Strategies), corporate clients (Fischer Paper Products, Edlong Dairy Technologies, Innovator Capital Management), and real estate developers (Stoneleigh Companies). No external funding, parent company, or institutional investors are disclosed, and the firm does not offer a software product, API, or platform technology.
