AUSTIN CAMPUS
A building that follows the creek
Whole Foods Market added a 140,000-square-foot office building to its amenity-rich urban campus in Austin. Gensler took its cue from the company’s mission to “Nourish People and the Planet” and from Shoal Creek, which runs along the east side: the building’s fluid lines and warm tones echo the creek’s contours. More than 90% of the plan is open, with outdoor access, daylight and creek views, and activated hubs for social life. The campus also has a work café, outdoor terraces, a retail testing lab and a fitness center, and the materials include recycled content and low-embodied-carbon carpet.
