THE HEADQUARTERS · LEVI'S PLAZA · ATRIUM REDESIGN 2025
A seven-story atrium turned into a “civic living room”
The main building at 1155 Battery Street is built around a tall, daylit atrium. In 2025 Gensler redesigned its ground floor: the store and the reopened Vault museum moved to the edges, and the atrium became an employees-only space with a café and coffee shop, reclaimed wood floors, a copper-clad reception desk that echoes denim rivets, seating built around living trees and artifacts from the company archives. Fifteen large sculptures hang through the full height of the atrium.
