Snowflake HQ
San Mateo,CA
Tenant Improvement - 90,000 SF
Snowflake’s HQ aesthetic is based on the concept of the “snowy mountain forest”, moving from “frozen ice” in the core to a more colorful “winter forest” aesthetic around the perimeter. Abstract mountains, fragmented ice, and trees are highlighted in the design elements. Work areas are open plan and divided into neighborhoods which are supported by enclosed and semi-enclosed focus & alternative work spaces.

The design is influenced by Emeryville’s old historic buildings & new infrastructures: industrial manufacturing plants &factories, warehouses, Ricardo Leggoretta, Pixar, and nearby Bay Street shopping center. The lobby design is centered around creating networks and connecting to the surrounding urban area while emphasizing the journey and on bringing people together through our shared connections.
