Project Description
FROM THE AIASF:
A new corporate headquarters for an international data software company headquartered in San Francisco respects the character of the historically-industrial South of Market neighborhood while providing an innovative and sustainable workspace for its creative occupants. The 200,000-square-foot building achieved LEED Platinum certification.
A sculptural disc over a cistern provides the focal point for the courtyard inside the office block. Acting like an inverted public fountain, the disc receives water from a glass canopy that becomes the directional funnel for an impressive rainwater collection system. Nature on display is a lovely precedent in an office building.
