HEADQUARTERS · ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA
A great room, a pulse in the floor
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.

A residential-inspired great room with kitchen, living room and dining spaces leads to the stair.
