Connection Though Cascading Stairways
Splunk’s ongoing growth at Santana Row, a premier South Bay retail hub, prompted their expansion from an existing 6-story building into the neighboring 8-story structure at 700 Santana Row. This prominent location at the end of “The Row” now houses a workspace designed with a strong focus on employee experience, fostering an environment that is innovative, disruptive, open, and fun.
The design emphasizes an employee-centric approach with numerous features enhancing the workspace. A cascading interconnecting staircase promotes cross-floor collaboration, while an indoor fireplace lounge and expansive water walls on each floor create diverse spaces that set the tone for various meetings and interactions. The 6th floor boasts a full-service kitchen and café, seamlessly connected to a large outdoor terrace overlooking the length of Santana Row. On the ground level, Splunk’s presence in Silicon Valley is solidified with a public-facing Executive Briefing and Networks Operations Center. This project embodies Splunk’s core values, driving their business, workplace, and employee experience.
