Accessed by an interior glass bridge, the pathway brings people and programs together while leading to collaboration areas where the Foundation focuses on creating positive outcomes for future generations.  Numerous multi-functional features contribute to a collaborative space that balances the passion of philanthropy with a more business-like approach. Further the selected materials and finishes range from the “raw” to the “cooked” and were chosen to convey a sense of urgency but aggregate to make a space that promotes thoughtful analysis and discussion.

I knew we could work with HPS from the moment I met the team. When we described our work and what we wanted from our new office space, they listened. HPS designed a building that exceeded our expectations. It helps us do our work better, it’s environmentally responsible, and it’s beautiful.

We were impressed with the sustainable aspects of this project towards the materials selection and there was a level of inventiveness with this interior that we didn’t see in any other projects. It has a regional quality that was unlike anything else that was presented, that was very captivating.
