F5 Headquarters TI [Winner]

Office Interior of the Year

Description

F5 Networks is a leading technology company that builds software for top corporations running public cloud infrastructure. In 2017, F5 decided to move away from a campus of four-story buildings on Elliot Bay to a single vertical high-rise in Seattle’s downtown core. The ensuing design overcame the potentially isolating nature of an elevator-dependent high-rise and small, irregularly-shaped floors to heighten connectivity between F5 staff, customers and visitors — and their collective impact on the world.
