Inside Intuit\u2019s Next-Gen Workplace In San Francisco<\/h1>\n\n\n

Sprawled across some 34,000 square feet on the 5th floor of a South of Market (SoMa) midrise, Intuit\u2019s new San Francisco offices aren\u2019t just a workplace. Thanks to careful collaboration between interior design firm The Bureau<\/a>, IA Interior Architects<\/a>, and a team of digital, lighting, plantscapers, and furniture experts, the office is a prototype for Intuit offices to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt tests new approaches,\u201d says The Bureau founder Sarah Giesenhagen, \u201cusing immersive, locally-inspired storytelling.\u201d She\u2019s referring to the local art program, which includes 38 pieces of original art made by local artists installed throughout the space. A trio of murals\u2014like the striking, 24-foot-long one in the main conference room, in which Hannah Ember Sitzer depicts the history of the city\u2019s vibrant music scene\u2014deepen the commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind the Design of an Immersive Office For Intuit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These visual interventions are key introductions in the project, which otherwise retained some 90% of the existing walls, ceilings, and doors, and integrated iconic furniture pieces from previous Intuit offices. The idea, she says, was to \u201cwork with existing architectural framework to make thoughtful modifications without unnecessary waste.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to make the offices work for Intuit\u2019s more than two hundred Bay Area employees. To that end, The Bureau carved the floorplan into discrete \u201cneighborhoods.\u201d Custom plank carpet tiles in a wood grain pattern by Interface, installed in a parquet lay up or a large-scale stripe, unite the project. Each zone tends toward a spirit of hospitality, with shared team tables and millwork in bold jewel tones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both assigned and open-address workstations dot the neighborhoods, along with drop-in rooms defined by vinyl murals of the kinds of small businesses, from laundromats to robotics studios, supported by Intuit products. The team painted frames around window cutouts so these murals catch the eye. The move, says 2×4 senior design partner Leigha Dennis, is intentional. \u201cEvery element should reflect Intuit\u2019s values. Ultimately, the space will serve as both a cultural beacon and a prototype for the future Intuit workplace experience.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
