Elegant in its simplicity, the LEED Platinum building leverages mass timber as a way to dramatically reduce carbon emissions and create a warm, welcoming, and healthy workspace. Architects mixed single and double-height spaces and connected them with a four-story atrium illuminated by a timber-glass skylight, bringing natural sunlight into the space and creating both visual and physical connections between teams and individuals within the building. The beauty and simplicity of the design and engineering of the LEED Platinum building is achieved by keeping the structure authentic and exposed. The design team used mass timber to emphasize occupant health and well-being, blending natural materials with daylit interiors, views, and organic textures to create a workplace that aligns naturally with the company’s commitment to innovation and collaboration. This tech client shows that it places a high priority on the health of both their people and the environment with this building. The project demonstrates how they were able to meet ambitious biophilic and sustainability goals by using mass timber to build a high-performance building.
