Venture Capital Office Headquarters Architect Paul Murdoch Architects Client Anonymous Where Menlo Park, California What 25,000 total square feet on two floors, plus basement garage Cost/sf Withheld at client's request For a full project source list, see page 162 or visit contractdesign.com. Key Design Highlights The structure is inspired by prefab design but features custom details that prefab construction would not have allowed. A green roof and outdoor terraces draw nature into the building and make it appear more residential to fit in with its neighbors. Interior finishes-including paneled walls, slatted ceilings, and custom desks-are primarily fir. Purple walls in the reception area and purple furnishings throughout the office bring a jolt of energy to the otherwise neutral palette. 130 contractdesign.com may 2014http://www.contractdesign.com http://www.contractdesign.com
