Evite Moves Into New California Headquarters by IA Interior Architects

Leading digital invite and social planning company Evite recently moved into their new headquarters designed by IA Interior Architects, a welcoming environment that aligns with the brand’s mission to celebrate life’s meaningful moments. “Our client asked us to create the ultimate inviting space, and we delivered by sprinkling distinctive branding elements and vibrant colors into every corner,” says Nicole Greene, designer at IA Interior Architects.

A wall with four wooden bookcases, each filled with books, decorative items, and potted plants, stands on a wooden floor. Designed by IA Interior Architects, this setup marries functionality and aesthetic appeal harmoniously.

The organization relocated from downtown Los Angeles, California to the sunny suburb of Glendale, now in an office that encourages collaboration not only among the staff but also with the local community. A lobby greets visitors on the first floor, while an internal stair connects the second and third levels, promoting seamless interaction throughout the space.

The second floor assembly space is a hub for various activities, with key entertainment and hospitality areas, from a filming kitchen, photo studio, and bar. The kitchen is centrally located here, at the heart of the workspace, taking cues from a residential layout. The highlight for the employees, however, is the speakeasy, hidden behind a four-section bookcase. As soon as someone steps inside they find all kinds of games to play – and plenty of nostalgia, too. They can choose from classic pinball or test their skills at a claw machine to try and “win” a favorite toy.

On the third floor, the marketing, design, and software engineering teams perform their daily tasks. This level features open workstations complemented by dedicated conference rooms for focused meetings. To keep the noise at a reasonable volume, the all-hands space is in the front of this main zone. Smaller meeting rooms and phone booths are ideal when more privacy is needed, tucked away in quieter sectors. Even acoustic wall panels have an elevated look, placed in walnut frames to serve as both functional and decorative pieces. A café and patio are spots for relaxation and informal gatherings, complete with views of the Verdugo Hills.

The material palette brings in the warmth of nature indoors. Walnut wood and limewash paint, paired with glazed brick veneer and glass fronts, offer the perfect blend of matte and shine on a range of surfaces. The hues, meanwhile, echo the surrounding elements of the outdoors, from the rich terracotta reminiscent of tiles found on nearby rooftops to the lush green of palm fronds.

A mix of lounge furniture upholstered in leather and traditional task seating support any work style and posture. Flexible arrangements can be quickly reconfigured, and also accommodate more staff as the company grows. “The space was designed to be versatile, easily transforming to host different events, serving as a clean canvas to help influencers and brands bring their visions to life,” Greene adds.
