Accenture is a global business consulting, technology services, and outsourcing company. Their objective for the Seattle office was to implement new global workplace standards and emphasize the local environment of the Pacific Northwest. The new standards produced substantial real estate savings and provided task-based work-setting environments supportive of their consulting and business practices.
The natural environment and lifestyle of the Northwest inform the design through the interpretation of the elements: Fire, Air, Water, and Earth. Architectural forms and finishes were designed to impart the essence of the element.
