Overview

Clive Wilkinson Architects collaborated with WRNS Studio on the design fo the Intuit Marine Way Building, completed in 2016.

Building History

This sprawling center for the software company, Intuit, was designed by the Clive Wilkinson Architects web site in 2018: "Following site analyses, staff surveys, visioning sessions and workshops with the Client, the design team developed a site, building, and interior design response for the Marine Way Building (an important milestone in the company’s multi-year campus update) to create a central hub for the increasingly global Intuit community, as well as a workplace that feels like home. The planning and geometry of the building, with 185,400 SF across four floors, is low, wide, connected, and flexible — a strategy that addresses programmatic and collaborative needs, reinforces campus patterns and cohesion, and creates interest along the street. The large floor plates, which accommodate a variety of spaces for people to collaborate, concentrate, and reflect, are organized into human-scaled neighborhoods and connected by clear circulation. Cores are pulled to the perimeter of the building, allowing for maximum connectivity and flexibility in team configuration and workflow between individual desks, breakout areas, lounge spaces, and conference rooms. A café, living rooms, sports facilities, showers, and terraces spin off of a highly visible atrium that opens out onto the campus’ main internal street. This variety of programmatic functions along the perimeter of the atrium helps generate a consistent buzz of activity throughout the workday."
