International advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy transformed an abandoned warehouse into their new world headquarters. The office holds several hundred employees and multiple organizations. The building was redesigned by Allied Works, a Portland architecture firm.
Allied Works renovated the building with a new concrete interior and multiple new storys. The existing timber-frame structure was also renovated and helped push the accenting of wood structures throughout the interior of the building. If you ever get a chance to tour the office do it. Make sure to wander around and check out the unique parts of the office including “The Nest”.
Beautiful place.
That photo with basketball court reminds me of the game Portal 🙂
These guys were featured in the ‘Art & Copy’ documentary, and a good portion of their office was showcased.
Ha! This post totally reminded me of this scene in Portlandia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGPt5P3CYY4

I love these type of informational and beautiful artistic blog I’m always like them.
Oh wow, I love this place… something about it brought back feelings of my childhood. Now I have to figure out why! 😉
I see 70-hour work weeks.
Great post. All you need to complete it is a picture of The Nest… coolest ‘room’ in their building.
