Extensive greenery was used
throughout the building, but
instead of scattering potted
plants around the office or
placing them atop shelves as
an afterthought, it became an
integral design feature. Lush
flora was used to subdivide
the workstation neighborhoods, and millwork slat walls
with moss were configured to
create separate zones
(opposite). The building
formerly housed a chickenpackaging plant, and some of
the original elements were
preserved, like the wooden
beams, exposed brick, and
lofted ceilings (above).

Where Chicago, Illinois
For the new headquarters of collagen-supplement maker Vital
Proteins, located in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood, the firm
Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB) was tasked with transforming
a former chicken-packaging plant into a workplace reflective
of the company's commitment to health and wellness.
"You can definitely see the building's history in the elements
of the space that we chose to preserve, like the wooden beams,
exposed brick, and lofted ceilings," says Kurt Seidensticker, founder
and CEO of Vital Proteins. "We didn't want a brand-new building,
but a building that was rich in character-something we could truly
infuse the Vital brand into."
The SCB team had to design an office that accommodated
typical work functions, but which also made room for the additional
components that support healthy living for employees during the
workday and beyond. Indeed, the 26,000-square-foot space now
features a fitness center and an on-call personal trainer for staff
members when they need a workout.
