   Founders Tower interiors

   Adobe's headquarters is four office towers in downtown San Jose. The West, East and Almaden towers opened between 1996 and 2003 and were certified LEED Platinum in 2006. Founders Tower, the fourth and largest, opened in 2023: 18 stories, room for 4,000 more people, the first all-electric building of its scale in Silicon Valley, and colors that tell you what a space is for — blue to focus, green to work together, orange to meet.

   IBM · Armonk, New York · Kohn Pedersen Fox (1997); the 1964 building

   Armonk headquarters

   IBM moved its headquarters out of Manhattan to Armonk in 1964, onto a former apple orchard it had bought in the 1950s. The first building, by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, is now called North Castle. The current headquarters, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and finished in 1997, is a 283,000 sq ft building of glass, stone and machined stainless steel on a 25-acre parcel, with the Gerstner Center for Learning nearby.

    Headquarters building N

    Qualcomm's headquarters building, known as N, opened in 2007: a 10-story steel building of about 474,000 sq ft designed by Delawie, with a seven-story atrium, a café, a fitness center, a courtyard with an outdoor stage and a heliport on the roof. On the first floor is the Irwin M. Jacobs auditorium — 534 seats with flown acoustic reflectors that let it switch between engineering lectures, digital cinema and symphony concerts. Next door, the 12-story engineering building W (2010) brought the campus close to a million more square feet.

    ServiceNow · Santa Clara, California

    A Santa Clara floor designed by HGA around a “living room” café

    ServiceNow moved its headquarters from San Diego to Santa Clara in 2013, first leasing a building on Jay Street. In 2014 it signed a 12-year lease on two buildings at 2215 and 2225 Lawson Lane (about 329,000 sq ft together), then added 2251 Lawson Lane and planned more — about 858,000 sq ft in all by 2019, with cafés, an on-site gym with daily fitness classes and quiet rooms. Inside, an HGA-designed floor of about 38,000 sq ft opens with a “living room” — an informal dining and coffee bar that doubles as the guest lounge — with group tables for collaborators and quieter, home-office-like spaces for one-on-one work.

    Intuit · Mountain View, California · WRNS Studio with interiors by Clive Wilkinson Architects (2016)

    Marine Way

    Intuit's headquarters campus is at 2700 Coast Avenue in Mountain View. Its Marine Way building, finished in 2016, is LEED Platinum: WRNS Studio planned the site and shell, and Clive Wilkinson Architects designed the interiors. The floors are low and wide, broken into human-scaled neighborhoods for focus and teamwork; the cores sit at the edges so the middle stays open; and a bright atrium — big enough for 500 people — opens onto the campus's main street, with a café, living rooms, sports facilities, showers and terraces looking out over the bay.

    Uber · San Francisco, California

    Mission Bay HQ by SHoP Architects, interiors by RMW (2021)

    Uber's headquarters at 1725 3rd Street is its first ground-up building. SHoP Architects designed the two buildings (Quezada Architecture was architect of record) and RMW did their interiors. Instead of one open floor, desks sit in smaller neighborhoods, each with a “front porch” for the team. A full-height solarium runs up the main façade between two skins of glass; its floors cascade from level to level, so the two buildings have 17 different floor plates. Every window bay has an operable window that the building system opens and closes with the heat in the atriums, and two mirrored sky bridges link the towers. The lobby feels like a museum: conduits carry a kinetic digital display from the wall behind a 40-foot reception desk across the ceiling.

    ASML · Veldhoven, Netherlands · EGM architecten; campus landscape

    De Run 1000

    Opened in April 2025, De Run 1000 is four related office buildings — each with slightly different façades — linked by a 4,000 m² plaza with a fully glazed front and greenery all around. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a central void pull daylight deep inside; mostly white rooms get bright colour accents, warm materials and cabinets that double as green partitions. On the roofs: gardens with beehives and insect hotels. EGM says the design swings between focus and relaxation, like the body's nervous system.

    Airbnb · San Francisco, California · Gensler; renovation and expansion across five buildings

    888 Brannan interiors

    Gensler spent four months embedded in Airbnb's offices before designing 888 Brannan: an open-plan workspace where each meeting room is inspired by a noteworthy Airbnb listing, linked by a meandering path. WRNS Studio then reworked the historic warehouse floors across five SoMa buildings into human-scale “neighborhoods” around atria, with skylights and operable windows.

    WDF 49 and WDF 53 in Walldorf

    SAP's headquarters is a campus of numbered buildings (WDF 01, WDF 49, WDF 53 …) on Dietmar-Hopp-Allee and Hasso-Plattner-Ring, named after two of its founders. A star-shaped office building for 1,300 people opened in 2002. Newer offices by Scope Architekten add light-filled workplaces: WDF 49 (2018) has 700 workstations opposite the headquarters; WDF 53 (2019) stacks offset boxes around two glass-roofed, planted courtyards. In April 2026 the SAP AppHaus opened at the headquarters, next to the SAP Experience Center.

    JPMorganChase Tower at 270 Park Avenue

    Fan-shaped columns and triangular bracing lift JPMorganChase Tower about 80 ft (24 m) off the ground, opening a soaring lobby and a public plaza. Inside: column-free floors, eight trading floors, twenty work floors linked by eleven two-story work cafés, and a triple-height “Exchange” with sixteen venues in the middle of the tower. A wellness center offers fitness areas, yoga and cycling rooms, medical services, mothers' rooms and meditation spaces.

    Samsung Seocho in Seoul

    Samsung Digital City, about 13 miles south of Seoul, is where Galaxy phones are developed and tested. In 2014 Samsung counted almost 35,000 employees there, 4 landmark office towers up to 38 floors, 131 smaller buildings with labs, offices and sports facilities, and a guesthouse for visiting researchers. Healthcare is free at on-site clinics (from flu shots to dental care and acupuncture), 500 shuttle buses run to 103 destinations, and the campus has a 30 ft climbing wall, ten basketball courts, three soccer fields, two baseball diamonds and a swimming pool. The Samsung Innovation Museum, a five-storey, 10,950 m² hall on electronics history, opened on the campus in 2014.

    Toyota's head office at 1 Toyota-cho stands on the same site as the Honsha Plant — opened in 1938 as the Koromo Plant — and the technical center; 23,479 people work across the Head Office and Technical Center site. A head office building was completed there in 1960 (now the former Head Office), and a new main building opened in 2005. In Plano, Texas, Toyota Motor North America works on a seven-building, LEED Platinum campus by Corgan, arranged around a central courtyard shaped by the contours of a creek bed, with green roofs, shaded loggias and an interconnecting stair in a light well at the heart of each building.

    200 West Street was designed to consolidate the firm's scattered New York offices in a single building. Its sides follow the two street grids of Lower Manhattan, while the west façade sweeps in a curve toward the Hudson River; three setbacks step the stainless-steel-and-glass skin down as it rises. Inside are six large trading floors, a two-story sky lobby halfway up, conference centers, a fitness center and a cafeteria. Unusually wide 10-ft curtain-wall panels let daylight deep into the offices, and a glass-roofed walkway lined with shops runs through the block between Brookfield Place (the former World Financial Center) and the north of Battery Park City.

White precast facets catch the light; terraces wrap the second to fifth floors and step up to a sheltered roof terrace with views of Oracle Park and the Bay Bridge. Inside, HOK laid out the floors as “neighborhoods” of focus and team space, with no assigned seats.

    Walmart replaced old warehouses and offices east of J Street with a campus built around a forested greenway. Twelve office buildings — each named for a piece of company history, from Sparky and Hula to Ol’ Roy and Moon Pie — are made from regionally sourced mass timber with floor-to-ceiling windows and dynamic glass. Inside are hot desks, soundproof phone booths, window-side seats, softly lit focus rooms, innovation studios, tech bars and coffee shops; outside are patios, rooftop terraces, food truck pavilions and Helen’s Amphitheater. There are deliberately no skywalks: people walk between buildings along promenades and the Razorback Greenway.

    From 2012 Coca-Cola rebuilt the inside of its Atlanta Office Complex — the North Avenue Tower, the USA Building, the Technical Engineering Center, the Central Reception Building, Coca-Cola Plaza, the Employee Center and the Learning Center. The first phase was a ground-floor “Main Street” corridor linking the buildings, with restaurants, conference centers, shops, a credit union and a pharmacy. The last phase, the Central Reception Building, has a white rotunda with an original 1949 yellow delivery truck, a terrazzo floor made with pieces of recycled Coke bottles, a full-service restaurant named Plum Street after the company’s original headquarters building, and Robert Woodruff’s office, moved here from a remote floor. Outside is a renovated green space employees call “The Backyard”.

    P&G World Headquarters in Cincinnati

    P&G's Towers, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, were built in the mid-1980s next to the company's older office building. Between them, a semi-private corporate garden links two city blocks: perennial beds, a bosque of trees, pergolas draped in wisteria, fountains and a formal lawn. When it opened it was the largest privately owned green space in downtown Cincinnati, planted with 13,000 tulips, 2,700 annuals and nine kinds of trees. The idea came from then-CEO John Smale and his wife Phyllis, who loved gardening. From early 2026 to mid-2027 P&G is renewing the gardens with a covered walkway, more seating and outdoor workspaces, step-free routes onto the lawns, and a new pedestrian plaza in front of the Central Building — alongside a renovated cafeteria and a new fitness center.

    J&J's world headquarters is a 16-story white tower joined to low three-story pavilions sheathed in glass and white enameled aluminum, set in a park-like campus by the railroad in downtown New Brunswick. It was designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, I. M. Pei's firm. A 2016–17 redesign by Kimmerle Newman Architects added a Mobility Center, an on-site Starbucks, a salon, an outdoor dining plaza by the cafeteria and spaces for TEDx talks, while keeping to the original design. On the same campus stands the brick Powerhouse of 1907, the oldest building J&J still has, now home to its archives and museum.

    BIG designed The Spiral so that every office floor opens onto its own terrace, and the terraces wind up the 66-story tower like “a 1000-foot-tall vine”. Double-height spaces and grand staircases can link neighbouring floors. On Pfizer's floors there are four coffee bars and cafés, a two-story fitness center, a wellness studio, seven “renew rooms” and a 12,000 sq ft terrace on the 7th floor next to the cafeteria, where people can eat, perch on stepped seating or sit on sofas looking at the Hudson River.

The expansion, inside a historic building in SoMa, added a quiet lounge, a large event and training room, terraces for break-out meetings, a game area and a meditation space.

    Porsche is rolling out one office concept across all its buildings and sites: activity-based floors with focus rooms, project areas and alcoves, common rooms for exchange, and seating niches along the passageways. Porsche says the goal is to keep its “garage feeling” and make the brand's culture visible in the office design. Around the offices sit the plants where the 911, the 718 and the Taycan are built, and the Porsche Museum on Porscheplatz.

    Boeing's global headquarters stands at the foot of the 14th Street Bridge, between the Pentagon and Reagan National Airport. Its uneven height and unusual shape were designed around planes landing at and taking off from the airport. Inside, the lobby columns are shaped like airplane wings, and from above the main entrance drive looks like an airport tarmac.

    3M's headquarters is a campus of a 15-story tower and three low-rise buildings from the 1960s and 1970s. Atelier Hitoshi Abe's master plan added a “Communication Loop”: entrances, corridors and stairs that were barely used became places to meet and share ideas, next to the regular offices. The work was completed in April 2013. In 2016 3M opened a research and development laboratory on the same campus, the Carlton Science Center, with four stories and 400,000 sq ft for about 700 researchers.

    Philips chose to rent and renovate rather than build new. V8 Architects returned a 1970s building — designed as an office, later used as a school — to office use: five floors around a central stair, each with its own character and colours, a mix of quiet rooms and open meeting areas, and a biodiverse rooftop garden. The carpets are woven from discarded fishing nets, the walls hold reused insulation, and outside there are fruit trees, nesting places and a beehive.

Two fully glazed shells form a protected cavity that lets fresh air in through operable windows and shades the offices; convectors in the raised floor condition the air as it enters. A 15 m-high glass entrance hall and a 117 m-long glass-and-steel pergola face the street, and in front of the building a bosque of clipped sycamores and a round reflecting pool echo the Bayer logo.

     Squarespace moved its global headquarters into the historic Maltz Building in 2016, a building put up for Manhattan's book, periodical and newspaper publishers. A+I found that employees wanted the feel of an “off-site” without leaving the office, so parts of the space look like a hotel or a home. Large planters hold trees that rise through the central atrium, curved glass meeting rooms ring the floors, and there is a roof deck and bar.

IA turned the first and second floors into amenity and gathering spaces: a concierge reception around a barista café, a new opening to an interior courtyard, a curved staircase with built-in banquettes, an all-hands lounge that doubles as the lunchroom, a social club lounge, a training room facing Market Street, a wood-paneled library and a deep-focus room. Translucent curtains open and close spaces, and Notion's signature red appears in details such as wayfinding. Brereton Architect completed the interior fit-out of the offices, keeping exposed structure, masonry and metalwork.

     D105 is a multi-functional office and conference building in the southern part of the Ludwigshafen site. A “BASF Street” runs across its three rhythmically divided blocks like a mall, spanned by bridges, with the stairs, a bistro and the canteens along it — and the boundary of the factory site runs right through the building. BASF says it was opened in summer 2015 with conference facilities, a modern canteen and multifunctional offices for 1,200 employees. Inside are heated and chilled ceilings, a staff canteen under a wave-shaped ceiling with built-in LED lights, and a conference area with its own stage; many BASF products were used in the building, and its flat roof is a walkable green roof.

     Ciudad BBVA and its 93 m tower La Vela were designed by Pritzker Prize winners Herzog & de Meuron

     Herzog & de Meuron drew on the squares and lanes of Mediterranean towns. Seven three-storey buildings — named after the continents — sit around a garden plaza about 100 m across, linked by covered bridges with meeting rooms, and La Vela, an oval 19-storey tower, rises from the plaza. Between the buildings run five streets named after oceans and seas, shaded by awnings and climbing plants. Inside there are no closed offices; a 1,600 m² double-height trading floor holds 400 traders under four video walls. The architects kept and stripped back eight unfinished office buildings already on the site.

VIGUIER describes two buildings around a public pedestrian space: a new office building with a 15-metre glass cantilever, and a refurbished Eiffel-style covered market with coworking spaces, shops and restaurants open to the public. Inside, a landscaped atrium with suspended volumes runs the length of the building; office floors extend onto planted balconies and two levels of planted roofs, under three wide glass roofs. Wood, metal, stone and concrete were chosen for their raw look. Orange says the building has only eight floors to make the company more horizontal, with open spaces where people meet in more or less formal settings, from flex office to individual “bubbles”.

The base of each atrium is a plaza with healthy food, meeting and function spaces and wellness facilities, and the whole perimeter is lined with planting. Soft indirect lighting replaces direct lighting, and most of the old fit-out was kept: 55% of workstations, 96% of task chairs and 90% of access floors were re-used.

Along Alfred-Escher-Strasse it wears local Bollinger sandstone; toward the lake, a crystalline façade of glass prisms that breaks and recomposes the reflections of its neighbours. The stairwells of the 1900 building were returned to their original state and lit with Krischanitz's pearl-string lamps. Inside the new buildings, desks are not assigned: an app opens the doors and shows which desks are free, all workplaces sit near windows facing the lake or the Arboretum park, and movable “Dancing Walls” reshape the rooms. Lake water from 11 metres below the surface heats and cools the whole campus.

     The Post Tower in Bonn was designed by Helmut Jahn (Murphy/Jahn) and won the CTBUH 10 Year Award in 2014

     The Post Tower is made of two halves — a northern and a southern half-ellipse — separated by a 7.2-metre gap and joined by a steel-and-glass structure. JAHN says nine-storey sky gardens fill that gap between the office bays. A double glass skin brings daylight deep inside and lets the building ventilate naturally: automated flaps in the outer façade open according to the outside temperature, and water pumped through 210 km of pipes in the slabs heats and cools the floors. “The tower breathes in the wind,” Helmut Jahn said. Twelve high-speed lifts serve the floors, staff eat in a company restaurant in the adjoining base building, a “World Net Café” on the ground floor has served coffee and snacks since 2006, and about 2,000 lights in the façade cavity show symbols such as a treble clef for the Beethovenfest or a Christmas tree in Advent.

Inside, a street in an atrium ties the offices together; meeting centres, an auditorium and the canteen line the street, and the flexible office layout allows rooms for one to twenty people without touching the technical installations.

     The “Hospital for the Incurables” was built from 1634 in the shape of a double cross on either side of a listed chapel, around eight courtyards. After it closed as the Laennec Hospital in 2000, Kering restored it from 2010 to 2016: Benjamin Mouton, Chief Architect of France's historical monuments, led the restoration, Frédéric Druot turned the rooms into workspaces with good daylight and acoustics, and Pierre Yovanovitch remodelled a small pavilion into a reception, work and meeting space. More than half the site is gardens, replanted by Philippe Raguin from old drawings, with no chemical products and five beehives.

     UBS · Zurich, Switzerland · Pfleghard & Haefeli (1917); refurbished by EM2N (2018, LEED Platinum)

     Bahnhofstrasse 45

     After a three-year refurbishment, UBS reopened its headquarters on December 3, 2018. The listed façade barely changed, but the inside was almost completely redesigned by EM2N: a wider entrance, the restored 1917 counter hall in the Münzhof, a new planted courtyard called the Pelikanhof, and the UBS Forum, an event space of almost 200 m² between them. The whole ground floor is open to clients and visitors, with a café, shops and a 24-hour ATM. Upstairs, offices and meeting rooms were rebuilt for collaborative, flexible work, and works from the UBS Art Collection run through the building under the theme “Heritage meets Contemporary”.

     Palazzo Eni in Rome

     Palazzo Eni stands at the east end of the EUR lake, on axis with it, in Piazzale Enrico Mattei. Putting every function into one tall volume left the site free for traffic, parking and green space. A typical floor was laid out as open space divided only by rows of cabinets no higher than 1.10 m; only managers sat in small, fully glazed boxes. A bridge leads visitors straight to the first floor, while employees enter at ground level. The building held a 260-seat conference hall, a library and a bar and meeting rooms on the 19th floor, with the chairman's offices on the 20th. Outside it is a continuous aluminium-and-glass curtain wall between concrete end walls clad in travertine.

     Toronto-Dominion Centre

     The Toronto-Dominion Centre began as a single-storey banking pavilion and two towers designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe; the first, the 56-storey Toronto-Dominion Bank Tower, was completed in 1967. After Mies died in 1969, B+H Architects with John B. Parkin and Associates designed the later phases around the granite-paved pedestrian plaza, until the complex reached six towers of 22 to 56 floors in 1991. A decade-long restoration brought back the original matte black finish after two years of research, and the glass mosaic tiles in the lobby were removed, cleaned and reinstalled. Switching to Enwave's Deep Lake Water Cooling cut the complex's cooling energy by 90%.

     Daikin decided to move in December 2019, then kept to its plan to add floor space even as the pandemic made people question offices. The new head office has more reception and project rooms for meeting customers, open floors without walls between departments, quiet spaces for focused work and many rooms equipped for online meetings. A project team of about 40 employees — from second-year staff to people in their sixties, chosen one per department — ran more than ten working groups for three years: one travelled to a stone works in Sekigahara to choose the marble for the reception counter. Management asked that everyone keep a desk of their own as a place to feel secure, but each department chose its own layout: air-conditioning sales kept fixed desks for staff who are often out, while chemicals sales went free-address to push people out to meet customers.

The offices above have all-glass north and south walls.

Outside, aluminium louvres called “sudare” (bamboo blinds) shade the glass, and a light well in the middle of each floor brings in daylight and natural ventilation. The design theme was “JAPANESE DNA”.

     In 2019 Denso set out to change how its head-office staff work, under the concepts Connectivity, Crossover and Collaboration. Over three years about 72,000 m² of offices in six buildings were renovated for some 18,000 people in 120 departments, with free-address seating, mobile PCs, chat and web meetings, less paper and standard furniture. Every department was surveyed and interviewed two or three times and given an “operation”, “function” or “innovation” type of layout; staff chose their own furniture and carpet colours from a Denso-only catalogue after testing them in a model room. Work went on department by department, two or three every weekend, while people stayed in the buildings. When the pandemic arrived near the end of the project, almost everyone already had a mobile PC and could switch to working from home.

     Valode & Pistre designed the tower as an assembly of “crystals”: by playing with faces, angles and types of glass, it is alternately transparent or reflective. Large greenhouses with Mediterranean plants and planted gardens on every floor bring nature inside, and an off-centre core keeps the floors flexible. Inside are more than 300 places to work — bubbles, alcoves, booths and 145 bookable meeting rooms — plus a 267 m² auditorium. On the 37th floor, the Plein-ciel space has a 360° view over La Défense, about 160 m up, behind SageGlass electrochromic glass that tints on demand.

     Sumitomo Corporation · Tokyo, Japan · Nikken Sekkei (2018); 18th-floor renewal

     Head office interiors in Otemachi Place East Tower

     Sumitomo Corporation moved its head office to Otemachi Place East Tower in September 2018 and, for its 100th anniversary in 2019, rebuilt the way it works there. The concept is an office scattered with “kikkake” — chances for people to meet and connect, so that individual strengths add up to the strength of the organisation. Employees use free-address desks; the CO CAFE combines the employee canteen, a café and a pub with space for solo work, meetings and events; and an Open Innovation Lab brings together people from across departments.

     Mitsui & Co. moved into the MITSUI & CO. Building in Otemachi One on May 7, 2020, and launched “Work-X”, a new way of working, at the same time. Nikken Sekkei's workplace team stacked executive floors, office floors, a clinic, the employee cafeteria and a visitor cafeteria through the building. Each office floor is split into five zones: “CAMP” on the west side facing the Imperial Palace, department “STUDIO” bases, a “GATE” with private lockers at the entrance, “TOUCHDOWN” spots for quick meetings, and conference rooms along the hallway. CAMP comes in three kinds — SOCIAL, CO-WORK and FOCUS — alternating on floors 16 to 28, and partners from outside the company can use CAMP and the meeting rooms.

     Designed by NBBJ with HUS arkitekter and Per Knudsen Arkitektkontor; it won an AIA National Honor Award for Architecture

     Telenor's headquarters stands on the site of Norway's former national airport at Fornebu, along the eastern shoreline. The winning design, “Uffizi Nuovi”, was unveiled in 1997. Offices are arranged in units of about forty people, floor plates are never more than 16 metres wide so daylight reaches almost every corner, and atriums link the floors to the boulevards and an open-air central plaza. Inside today: three canteens, the Expo Café furnished like a hotel lounge with fjord views, The HUB — a small house in the middle of the plaza with a coffee bar for all-hands meetings — and “heart zones” with coffee, fruit and chocolate drawers.

     The Granite tower at La Défense is by Christian de Portzamparc; the 1912 Haussmann head office is by Jacques Hermant

     Architect Jacques Hermant turned a block of apartment buildings behind the Opéra into the bank's head office, opened on 26 June 1912. The trapezoidal banking hall, with a round counter nicknamed “the cheese”, sits under an 18-metre stained-glass dome by master glassmaker Jacques Galand, made of 51 tapered parts and hung 23 metres above the floor on a steel “umbrella”; the mosaic floor is by Alphonse Gentil and François-Eugène Bourdet. Four levels of strong rooms go 11 metres underground behind an 18-tonne round vault door. From January 2019 to July 2021 the building was restored with Atelier Cos: Eiffel-type steel columns were uncovered, roof windows reopened, offices became open “flex office” floors, and the building now uses half as much energy.

     Pirelli's head office grew out of the last witness of its old Bicocca factory: the cooling tower of the power plant built in 1950. Gregotti Associati boxed it inside a 10-storey, 50 × 50 m cube with offices on three sides. The fourth side is a vast glass wall that puts the tower on display and faces the 15th-century Bicocca degli Arcimboldi villa, Pirelli's reception venue.

     Rafael de La-Hoz built on the edges of the plot and left the middle as a garden, aiming for the atmosphere of a monastery cloister. Four buildings stand around the inner courtyard; each has a ground floor and four upper floors, each floor a long glass box framed by strong structural ribs. Repsol calls it a shared, barrier-free space where the four buildings connect, with the garden at its heart and 100 native trees. Two cafeterias, 17 vending areas and a health centre with a medical service and gym serve the people inside.

It was the first building in Trieste to light its offices with electricity. The central part of the main floor is now the Assembly Hall, under a plate-glass ceiling of Austrian craftsmanship from the original building, watched over by Ivan Rendić's 1888 statue “Allegory of Insurance”.

     John Deere · Moline, Illinois · Eero Saarinen, opened 1964

     John Deere World Headquarters

     Eero Saarinen and chairman William Hewitt wanted a headquarters that was “modern in concept, but at the same time, down to earth and rugged.” Opened in 1964, the COR-TEN steel and glass buildings sit among ponds, woods and rolling landscape. Sunlit workspaces, movable steel partitions and a cafeteria overlooking the pond were planned around the people inside, along with an auditorium with translation booths and a revolving stage and Alexander Girard's three-dimensional mural “Reflections of an Era”. A geothermal modernization now underway will create an all-electric central plant.

     Cummins · Columbus, Indiana · Kevin Roche, 1983

     Cummins Corporate Office Building

     Kevin Roche designed “the COB” during the 1970s energy crisis, so it had few windows and relied on skylights and mirrors. A renovation finished in 2021 added energy-efficient window walls around the park, open stairs linking all three levels, a basement conference center and a Town Square — a social area with lounges and a suspended sculpture representing an engine's camshaft. A bridge now reaches the historic Cerealine building, a former grain mill with an outdoor dining deck over the pond. The art collection includes works by Kandinsky, Josef Albers and Richard Anuszkiewicz.

     Lenovo · Beijing, China · RTKL, with interiors by M Moser Associates (2018)

     Beijing headquarters campus

     Lenovo opened its new campus in Phase II of Zhongguancun Software Park on October 22, 2018. Designed by RTKL, it is split into east and west parts joined by a glass corridor, clad in light stone, glass and perforated aluminium. M Moser Associates designed the interiors around “Continents & Oceans”: each floor carries the colours and patterns of a continent, free-address benches replaced L-shaped desks, and a 1,500-seat canteen opens onto a sunken courtyard with a 38-metre butterfly wall.

     Molson Coors · Chicago, Illinois

     Designed by Gensler

     Molson Coors brought its teams together in a new downtown Chicago workplace of 73,363 square feet. Gensler designed it to honour the company’s brewing heritage: environmental graphics and “brand moments” tell the story of its beers. The Pub sits at the centre as a lounge and event space, and a landscaped terrace with panoramic views carries work and social life outdoors. An interconnecting stair links the floors, and there is a range of settings for teamwork and for focus.

     CBRE · Dallas, Texas

     Designed by Gensler

     CBRE set out to make its Dallas headquarters a new benchmark for efficiency, community and connection — and a proving ground for hybrid work. Gensler organised the floor into “neighborhoods” for different work styles, from focused individual work to team collaboration, with flexible layouts, technology for in-office and remote meetings, and wellness-focused amenities. The theme was “sanctuary”, with neutral, timeless tones and a hospitality feel that blurs inside and outside. Gensler reports that in-office attendance increased after the move.

     APA Corporation · Houston, Texas

     Designed by Gensler

     Apache wanted a workplace that broke down silos, reflected its brand and supported the return to the office. Gensler’s design spans 14 floors and 350,000 square feet as an exploration of contrast between day and night: work floors are vibrant and colourful, while executive and conference spaces are calm places to strategise. Flexible work zones, private offices and collaborative clusters sit side by side; nature-inspired palettes, tactile materials and plants make it sensory-rich. Uniform glass-front offices promote transparency, and open ceilings and less carpet lower the carbon footprint.

     AvalonBay Communities · Arlington, Virginia

     Designed by Gensler

     Gensler gave AvalonBay’s headquarters a strong residential feel. Visitors arrive in a great room on a raised platform — kitchen, living-room lounge and dining spaces — and the reception floor is a mosaic that mirrors the human pulse. Angled ceilings guide people to an interconnecting stair that becomes smaller, simpler and less transparent as it descends: past a design library of current projects, along a catwalk beside a raw concrete wall, by a floating conference room into the café, down to the training centre and finally a hidden innovation center. Amenities are spread over every level rather than kept in one zone.

     Insight wanted its new 241,000-square-foot headquarters to mix focus and social space for a workforce of more than 1,000. Gensler built multi-level collaboration areas around big stairs and planted terraces, and added a coworking hub, an employee canteen, a coffee shop and a health clinic. Digital panels double as interactive wayfinding and brand storyboards for teammates and clients. The building earned LEED Gold certification.

     Walker & Dunlop · Bethesda, Maryland

     Interiors by Gensler

     Walker & Dunlop asked Gensler to turn its “Walker Way” into architecture. Its Bethesda office occupies 56,000 square feet over three floors, each modelled on a room of a house. Visitors enter through a central front door on the second floor into the “great room” — reception, living-room lounge, kitchen and a multipurpose room — where a wooden stair with a residential picketed handrail and a carpet runner winds between floors. The top-floor “parlor” holds a pantry, dining, concierge and an open boardroom with switchable glass; the lower-floor “den” is the collaborative workspace, with copper and bronze accents.

     Group 1 Automotive · Houston, Texas

     Designed by Gensler

     Group 1, a Fortune 500 company with more than 200 dealerships in the U.S. and U.K., wanted a headquarters that could grow with it. Gensler drew on materials and finishes found in vehicles: leather and metal in the conference rooms, a “car body” lobby, “engine” amenity areas and a café inspired by tire treads. A hybrid layout mixes open workstations with glass-front offices; boomerang-shaped desks add privacy, and multipurpose rooms with operable walls give flexible meeting space.

     Fivetran · Oakland, California

     Interiors by Gensler

     Fivetran has a long habit of company off-sites, so Gensler built them into the office: flexible conference spaces, team collaboration areas, social spaces and kitchens sit together so teams can convene, build and celebrate on site. The same rooms host the community, from coding classes for high-school students to local art exhibitions. The open-office neighbourhoods were planned from surveys and focus groups, with Fivetran-specific ratios of dedicated desks, alternate seating and short-term workpoints, and finishes chosen from a “finish matrix” by location and activity level.

     Inspired by the flowing Schuylkill River, Gensler gave Glenmede a three-storey Philadelphia office around a reimagined atrium for town halls and community events. A Calacatta Turquoise marble stair invites people to move between floors; a custom metal-rod wall works light and technology into the architecture, and local artisans made custom elements. Desks are unassigned to support hybrid work, and the amenities include a barista bar, a library and a recording studio.

     Davis Wright Tremaine · Seattle, Washington

     Designed by Gensler

     Gensler helped Davis Wright Tremaine choose the site and design its new downtown Seattle headquarters, using its research on legal workplaces. The firm wanted a hospitality experience: an expansive reception area can host large functions. Office sizes were standardised and corner offices removed to make room for meeting spaces. Glass office fronts let daylight reach the interior and open up views, and an interconnecting stair joins all floors so lawyers and staff move easily between them.

     Whole Foods Market · Austin, Texas

     Designed by Gensler

     Whole Foods Market added a 140,000-square-foot office building to its amenity-rich urban campus in Austin. Gensler took its cue from the company’s mission to “Nourish People and the Planet” and from Shoal Creek, which runs along the east side: the building’s fluid lines and warm tones echo the creek’s contours. More than 90% of the plan is open, with outdoor access, daylight and creek views, and activated hubs for social life. The campus also has a work café, outdoor terraces, a retail testing lab and a fitness center, and the materials include recycled content and low-embodied-carbon carpet.

Gensler broke with traditional hierarchies: instead of private offices, the open workspace offers enclosed video-conference rooms, virtual-reality-enabled team rooms, non-reservable project rooms and a workshop-like materials library.

On campus is Ohana, a Montessori-based childcare center for employees’ children aged five and under, managed directly by Bandwidth.

     When Western Union relocated its global headquarters to a highly visible 15-storey building in Denver, it asked Gensler to rethink the workplace: a headquarters that encourages collaboration and innovation, emphasizes sustainability and embeds employees in their community. The central idea was connecting people — the major design features physically link employees across the floors of the vertical campus and carry the company’s global spirit.

The company’s history and values are told through product stories on a 12-screen video wall and changing exhibits.

Coming from a 100% closed-office layout, Gensler helped the company study different open-to-closed ratios and how they affected growth and workflow. Each level now has its own destination, connected by a central floating steel staircase. Amenity and collaboration spaces mix crisp finishes with warm tones and bold furniture, and new balconies on the second and third levels open onto city and lake views.

Huddle rooms, a busy café and several outdoor terraces give staff choice, and large windows look out over the shopping district and skyline. Wood, brick, steel and concrete nod to the craft of building homes.
