We placed a series of pantries along the building’s central courtyard to form the heart of the space. Active conferencing and social areas are organized along a redesigned plaza and California Street. Small gathering and collaboration spaces allow for quick meetings outside of a conference room, while still protecting heads-down work spaces acoustically.

The central courtyard and a new sculptural staircase serve as connecting threads between floors 3-6, creating a vertical campus and an energetic central core where people can bump into one another. For each floor, the team developed a harmonious color story, providing an orienting element and offering a unique identity.
