The New Facebook Headquarters by Studio O+A

The designers at Studio O+A have done a great architectural project by transforming 150,000-square-foot structure of laboratory facility for high-tech manufacturer Agilent Technologies at Palo Alto’s Stanford Research Park into a new facebook headquarters that facilitates interaction and connection, reflecting the company’s mission as a social networking website provider.

The Studio O+A designers re-used many of the former lab benches and equipment for the new offices. The design uses colour-coding to differentiate between teams within the open-plan space. Some walls are left unfinished so that employees can add writing and artwork to them. A kitchen and café continue Facebook’s tradition of providing gourmet meals to staff at all hours, while drinks and snacks are available at micro-kitchens throughout the headquarters.

The company’s executives sit in central areas, accessible to all employees. Large lounges and open spaces provide venues for the community to come together. A kitchen and café continue Facebook’s tradition of providing gourmet meals to staff at all hours, while drinks and snacks are available at micro-kitchens throughout the headquarters.

Reflecting employees’ desire for a green headquarters, the facility is the first commercial project completed under Palo Alto’s 2008 Green Building Ordinance, making extensive use of existing architectural features, recycling millwork from the original lab, and repurposing industrial components for post-industrial use. Other sustainable features include high recycled-content carpet and energyefficient lighting.
