The firm’s 17,054 SF studio effortlessly connects people to each other and the firm’s work by encouraging spontaneous interactions and accessible views of each other’s current, in-the-moment projects. The design features cross-laminated timber, demonstrating the materials use as a viable solution in lieu of concrete or steel. Targeting LEED Platinum, the office is flooded with natural light and boasts demonstrated energy savings of over 30% compared to a code building. Lush trees outside the oversized windows complement foliage throughout the interiors; ceiling fans mimic natural breezes for thermal and airflow variability; and the row of east-facing windows provides dynamic and diffuse light that shifts throughout the day.
