Today's feature is on [R&R Partners](http://www.rrpartners.com/), a nationally recognized, integrated communications agency with eight offices around the country.* R&R Partners has just renovated a historic warehouse on the corner of 2nd and Buchanan Streets. In November 2014, the 40-person Phoenix team moved into their new, permanent home. Listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the City of Phoenix Historic Register, R&R was committed to preserving the character and integrity of the 1926 produce warehouse building. While R&R remains true to the building's industrial roots, they also have given the space a makeover to match their personality. In this post, we'll highlight some of the unique aspects of the R&R culture, as well as showcase their new office space.

They understand that people are unique and that personal and professional passions define us as employees. R&R’s creative culture inspires people to do great work. It’s an atmosphere that holds employees accountable, while fostering a collaborative, cross-functional approach to producing exceptional work. [![R&R Partners Collaborative Office Space](https://blog.keyser.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/15867400947_87d82b66d3_z.jpg?width=640&height=320&name=15867400947_87d82b66d3_z.jpg)](https://www.flickr.com/photos/keyserco/15867400947) Led by Phoenix architecture firm [CCBG Architects](http://www.ccbg-arch.com/index2.html), the space was renovated to enhance collaboration and actively engage everyone in all levels of the business. R&R Partners Executive Offices in Phoenix have an open feel with glass doors. Sitting areas and layout of Director offices are tailored to their style of dialogue and collaboration. The open-concept, collaborative work space that has lounge areas for group discussions, little nooks for diving into partner projects and also a few private spaces for when you need some solo time.

They were replaced and the whole skylight was upgraded and sealed. Now, the natural light shines down all the way to the basement.
