The Column Group, a venture capital firm dedicated to developing biotech companies, asked our team to create a calm, downtempo space with a serene level of visual density. A balance of enclosed and open office space offers opportunities for collection and separation.

A glazing system maximizes openness and, combined with natural finishes and tones, creates a connection to the lush exterior landscape of the Presidio. Japaneseinfluenced rock and gravel gardens subtly define individuated spaces and create circulation between the public and private work areas. The acoustically reflective concrete interior surfaces are hushed to a gallery-like environment by use of a tightly spaced, sound-absorptive felt louver system at the ceiling. This cloud also conceals lighting, speakers, and elements of the mechanical system.
