New Roots for Timber Giant

Weyerhaeuser Headquarters at 200 Occidental

Seattle, WA

Honor Legacy, Celebrate Mission

Elemental materials and poetic details honor the vision and work of Weyerhaeuser, while introducing a modern identity for the 115-year-old timber products company. Timber is celebrated in diverse forms, paying respect to the raw material, pioneer history and working forests.

Activate and Inspire

A dynamic mix of open workspaces, multi-purpose cafes, and rooms tailored for group activities are distributed to increase collaboration and integration across departments. Thoughtful attention to the workplace experience supports productivity, inspiration, and the recruitment of future talent.

Connected to Place

Daylight, natural ventilation and inviting stairs enhance employee wellness and building performance. Conveniently located near transit, housing and the downtown core, the office’s expansive views connect occupants with this dynamic and richly textured perspectives of this place: bricks, people, trees, mountains, bay and sky.

With attention to craft and detail, the new headquarters features many of Weyerhaeuser’s products and reinterprets key elements of the historic Pioneer Square neighborhood.

Circulation, flexible areas, and cafés on each floor enhance collaboration and social connection among the staff.

Open communicating stairs connect levels and departments, offering a healthy alternative to elevators.

Transparent office spaces exude elegance and warmth, harvesting daylight throughout the building.

The rooftop amenity space provides a place for employees to work, relax and socialize and features an interpretive wall that tells the history of Weyerhaeuser.

Industrial, natural, raw and warm are characteristics that describe the primary design aesthetic for the Weyerhaeuser workplace.

An exceptional rooftop dining space exhibits the integration of architecture, interiors and custom furnishings.

The material palette of this rooftop training facility represents a natural, industrial and warm work environment.

At the entry, a quote by the company founder is engraved in concrete, while the facing wall features digital displays presenting images of Weyerhaeuser's forests, people at work and latest products.

Operable canopies at the storefront level allow the building to breath and interact with the park, while providing flexibility to adjust to the sun and rain.

Lofty storefronts engage passersby with animated retail spaces and bustling restaurant activity; while floor-to-ceiling windows above, make interior office spaces visible and create a sense of connectivity.

Operable windows facing Occidental Park maximize access to natural light, fresh air and views.

Completing the fourth side of Occidental Park, the new structure reflects the ivy-covered historic Grand Central Building and mature London Plane trees.

The glass wall provides excellent interior daylight and views, and creates a reflective backdrop to the park’s canopy of London Plane trees.

Storefront and lobby entries all front Occidental Park, drawing the community through the park. Creating a vibrant streetscape and retail program was a key goal to activate the building’s edge.

Weyerhaeuser Headquarters pays homage to the adjacent historic vocabulary with expressly modern materials and details. The design highlights today’s craft of glass walls in contrast to the century-old craft of masonry walls.

A continuous glass wall celebrates Occidental Park and creates a dynamic backdrop, changing hourly and seasonally.

The composed, high-performance west glass wall highlights the indoor/outdoor relationship between office and park, while masonry brick “shoulders” wrap around the other three façades.

Rooftop gardens enhance the quality of amenity spaces and slow down the flow of stormwater.

Infused with daylight, Weyerhaeuser’s interior office spaces contribute to employee well-being by featuring communicating stairs, large operable windows and low-emitting materials.

Interior spaces, ranging from huddle rooms for quick meetings to open offices areas, encourage staff to feel energized throughout the day by an ever-changing work environment.
