Showcasing guiding principles of humanity, connectivity, and intelligence, this new 246,000sf Net Zero Carbon-designed workplace articulates a design concept of a natural network. Each workplace floor narrates the changing ecosystem through customized materials, patterns, and graphics, beginning with the mycorrhizal layer and emerging through the canopy layer.

By alternating spaces of work and gathering, employees experience community, brand, and culture. Each workplace floor features a kitchenette hub serving as the most active, communal space, while an award-winning, all-electric urban food hall at the street level reaffirms the client’s goal to reduce operational energy.

Dispersed throughout each floor are alternative workspaces that support varied levels of collaboration and focused work to provide employees with choice in the work environment. Similar to how a forest network operates symbiotically, these workspaces provide diverse experiences one would enjoy in a forest, such as camping, a tree swing, or dining outdoors. A curved wood canopy connects the alternative workspaces and delineates circulation as employees move throughout the building. Collaboration spaces, focus rooms, and creative amenities, complemented by daylighting and biophilia, create an environment in which employees can connect to nature and each other while engaging in their best work.
