Architect: design blitz
Location: Santa Clara, California
The One Workplace Headquarters project was a unique opportunity for
both One Workplace and for Design Blitz. One Workplace is the largest
furniture dealer in Northern California and the single source for Steelcase
furniture in the San Francisco Bay Area The ambitious directive was to re-
define the architectural standard not only of the company, but also of the
showroom experience itself and create a bleeding edge, world-class
workplace that serves both employees and customers alike One Workplace
had already shifted the industry paradigm of sales and showrooms away
from a transactional experience to one of collaboration and partnership.
This leadership position makes One Workplace a formidable client partner,
and the next
iteration of their corporate headquarters needed to embody this innovation
and progression. No longer a static showroom, the working showroom
needed to demonstrate what is possible when great minds come together
within the context of a multi-disciplinary design lab. Blitz was a natural
design partner for One Workplace. As a young firm who is redefining the
architectural service model through their use of clientfriendly technology
and open platform, they had already established a track record for creating
innovative workplaces for several of Silicon Valley’s most successful
technology companies. Working in partnership with One Workplace,
Design Blitz realized the transformation inbuilt form, creating a working
showroom representative of One Workplace’s evolution. A collaborative
process, the project brought together Design Blitz’s expertise in workplace
architecture and One Workplace’s special knowledge of furniture to create
a layered environment The custom steel screen graphic was created to pay
homage to several oak, trees that were in poor health and had to be
removed during construction The project consists of 35,000 square feet of
office, showroom and workspace.
