Constantly evolving the workplace for their employees, Microsoft set out to create new standards for work and collaboration in the building. Starting with an existing base building design, Bora reconceived the typical central atrium surrounded by hallways into an active meeting and gathering hub for the occupants.
The goal of the atrium design was to ignite creativity by bringing building users together from fourteen different work wings across the four-story building to share ideas and spark new ones. An espresso bar anchors the ground floor along with a special meeting room designed to allow large meetings to expand into the atrium. Conference rooms, informal meeting, and amenity spaces line the edges of the upper floors encouraging and fostering interactions.
