Brick, steel stairs and free-address desks — even for the CEO
SCB designed the 80,000 sq ft headquarters to feel “beautifully imperfect”: brick walls and columns, steel connecting stairs, wood ceilings, murals and art installations. The open office is made entirely of free-address bench workstations, including those of the executive team and the CEO. On the fifth floor a “Connect Zone” holds a company store, a communal kitchen and a stage for all-staff meetings, opening onto one of two large terraces. Employees enter through a public café on the ground floor.
