International advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy transformed an abandoned warehouse into their new world headquarters. The office holds several hundred employees and multiple organizations. The building was redesigned by Allied Works, a Portland architecture firm.
Allied Works renovated the building with a new concrete interior and multiple new storys. The existing timber-frame structure was also renovated and helped push the accenting of wood structures throughout the interior of the building. If you ever get a chance to tour the office, do it. There are neat specialties throughout the office. Perhaps the most unique being “The Nest”.
I think I recognize it from an episode of Portlandia. Very nice design!
so many things I have always loved about this project, one of them being the ampitheatre space. another would be the pathways, I like the vontrost in the heavy concrete ones, to the real light ones going across the beams.
great post.
Wow, great post and excellent documentation of an original “creative” work space. thank you.
Nice one.
The nest does NOT fly :(
