This confidential software company’s new five-story building is a strategic investment designed to meet both present and future demands, strengthening the company’s competitive position while underscoring its commitment to innovation, collaboration, and long-term growth. Thoughtfully designed to foster seamless connectivity, the newly constructed building features a two-story annex and a rooftop patio that links to adjacent campus structures, promoting a cohesive and integrated workplace experience.

A defining architectural feature, a dynamic wood element, weaves throughout the building—shifting horizontally, vertically, and diagonally to frame spaces and create portals that guide movement. Beginning in the inviting two-story ground-floor lobby, this feature establishes a visual and spatial rhythm that leads employees and visitors through the floor’s diverse program, reinforcing an intuitive navigation experience. The sense of movement continues onto the upper floors, where the feature enhances wayfinding and supports a cohesive design language. Complementing this architectural statement, a bold experiential design graphic overlay spans the interiors, incorporating civic-themed references to local markets and historic Santa Clara. This design approach fosters a strong connection to the surrounding community and is particularly impactful in the communal pantries on every floor, which serve as social anchors within the workplace.

The ground floor is dedicated to key functions that support company-wide initiatives, including an executive briefing center, a full-service cafeteria, a high-tech production studio, and a state-of-the-art auditorium designed to accommodate all-hands meetings. Unique programmatic spaces add to the workplace’s distinctive character—the garden room provides a biophilic retreat, while the vault, a hidden space, features a secret sliding door that opens to the innovation center, reinforcing the company’s culture of discovery and invention.

On the second floor, The Overlook serves as a multifunctional hub, offering a range of lounge and meeting settings with direct sightlines to the two-story lobby. This central gathering space enhances workplace interactions and provides employees with opportunities for both planned and spontaneous collaboration.

The upper floors house office neighborhoods designed to balance focused work with collaboration. Each level features a mix of traditional workspaces, meeting rooms, and breakout areas, as well as unique specialty zones—such as the library and the dream factory—that encourage movement between floors and spark creativity. These distinctive areas contribute to a dynamic work environment that prioritizes flexibility, engagement, and cross-functional interaction.

Crowning the building, the executive suite on the top floor enjoys unobstructed views of the South Bay hills, with private offices along the perimeter maximizing access to natural light. Designed with security and discretion in mind, the CEO’s office includes a state-of-the-art panic room equipped with advanced security technology, ensuring a safe and secure workspace for the company’s leadership.

Blending architectural elegance with strategic functionality, this forward-thinking workplace serves as a powerful expression of the company’s values, fostering innovation, collaboration, and a sense of community while positioning the organization for continued success.
