Celebrating Identity
This urban workplace translates Microsoft US’s seven operating regions into immersive environments for collaboration, focus and gathering. The unique regional expression on each floor leverages architecture, bold graphics, textures and color to support identity, celebrate office culture and define diverse settings tuned for individual workstyles and group activities.
Inviting Choice
The efficient, open floorplan incorporates small nooks and soft seating areas for informal collaboration, as well as enclosed meeting rooms and two-person conversation rooms for high-focus activities. The workplace aligns with corporate brand guidelines and also introduces new concepts like the hub, an active gathering, dining and work space on each floor.
Health and Wellness
Centrally located hubs provide a welcoming sense of arrival, offer essential kitchen refreshments and forge community. Equitable access to daylight and ergonomic workspaces support employee wellness and comfort. Recycled and reclaimed materials including carpet, sliding doors and ceiling tiles demonstrate responsible use of resources.
