Much like nature must undergo an organic process to achieve its true form, the individual must endure a metamorphosis in itself to fully flourish. We create will foster a space of self discovery through the creative process, while supporting and promoting mental health. By providing art therapy, coworking, and networking opportunities, the artist will have many opportunities for the support they need to flourish and achieve their most true to self form.

Visitors are welcomed to the Savannah Patagonia Headquarters with rolling mountain motifs, lush greenery, natural wood and stone materials. The use of many natural and recycled materials supports Patagonia’s fundamental belief and guiding principle that all life on earth is under the threat of extinction unless we work together and take action to reverse this. The lobby space offers functional yet playful design features such as unconventional seating options, swings and a rock climbing wall for an interactive experience.

The center of the program are the workspaces. Built around the existing structural columns, each row of adjustable desks has a planter at one end with a live wall up the column and at the other end a collaborative desk for two workers to pull up their chairs for a quick meeting. Lining each of the exterior walls are booths that stretch along the entire wall allowing the workers to have a comfortable spot by the windows to find inspiration and work from there.
