After 24 years at the same cramped space with little daylight, this regional consumer-owned, natural food retailer was seeking a new home for its headquarters that reflected its position as the leading purveyor of fresh, local, and organic produce, quality meats, and sustainable seafood. The new space’s open plan concept incorporates modest work stations and ample community spaces that capitalize on the stunning views the new location offers.

The natural vistas are further complemented by a neutral palette and natural materials punctuated by pops of color and striking nature-based graphics to signify their natural food philosophies.

Honest materials reflect the natural product focus of the retail stores. The background palette is neutral and features polished concrete, locally sourced wood, raw steel, and soft white building structure. Reclaimed wood planks with a burnt, wire brush finish in varying thickness clad the entry façade at the multipurpose room and the workstation end panels along circulation paths, providing a warm and decidedly “non-corporate” touch to the space.
