What we made happen

This 50,000 square foot project is one of the first to implement Accenture's new Global Workplace Standards for a task-based worksetting environment in support of their consulting and business practices. 

The work settings are designed to bring a residential quality into the workplace that enriches the space with warmth and personality.  We worked closely with Geiger/Herman Miller to integrate the furniture and the architectural solutions to the project.

Local emphasis on the environment and Northwest lifestyle informs the design through the interpretation of the elements: Fire, Air, Water and Earth. Each element is assigned to a quadrant of the plan, and features an area with special finishes and common functions.  These include a garden-like setting in Earth, fireplace nooks in Fire, "Fishnet" Internet cafe and a cascading stair in Water, and a beta installation of Herman Miller's Resolve product in Air.
