Four floors where cars ride the elevator
Ford's first new headquarters in 70 years stacks design, engineering and leadership in one four-story building shaped by three overlapping hexagons. Floors are 22 inches of concrete so vehicles can travel by freight elevator into studios, showrooms and “Energy Rooms” big enough for a full-size car. Lobbies use red cedar, terrazzo and paint swatches from the Model T to the Mustang Mach-E, and the window glass carries the patent numbers of Ford inventions.
