The ClimateWorks Foundation is an international philanthropic network organized to win the battle against climate change. They desired a 13,200 square foot work environment for a staff of 45, with video conference rooms, a cafe, bicycle parking, showers, and support spaces. The LEED Platinum-Certified project incorporates elements of Biophilic Design – including an interior “creek” and a family of organic forms found in nature – to establish strong visceral connections between the occupants of this urban high-rise and the natural world they are working to protect.
