Walker & Dunlop · Bethesda, Maryland

Walker & Dunlop’s Bethesda office is laid out like a house: a great room, a parlor and a den on three floors, joined by a wooden stair.

The 56,000-square-foot Bethesda headquarters Gensler designed, what Walker & Dunlop pays its 1,466 people and what it offers them — from the company’s filings, its careers page and the architect’s project page.

HEADQUARTERS · BETHESDA, MARYLAND

A great room, a parlor and a den

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.

Like a home

Each of the three floors reflects a room of a house — the great room, the parlor and the den.
