Earth To Cam: Davis Brody Bond and Spacesmith collaborate on EarthCam HQ Partner firms Davis Brody Bond and Spacesmith have collaborated on the architecture and design of EarthCam’s new global headquarters in suburban New Jersey. The design team transformed a former factory building into a 48,000-square-foot headquarters, making it the largest facility in the world dedicated to building webcam technology and services. Wrapped in a façade of translucent molten aluminum, the building houses 11,000 square feet of office space, with a connecting passageway to the company’s manufacturing and warehouse zones. Energyefficient equipment and green materials were selected to promote employee wellness and corporate sustainability. A pavilion with a 25-foot-tall LED wall that feeds videos from EarthCam locations from around the world welcomes visitors. The team also opened the workplace to landscaped grounds, with acres of cherry trees and ponds dotted by 12 sculptures placed throughout the restored landscape, originally designed by landscape architect James Rose. Floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights bring the outdoors in and provide natural light to the open, organic workspaces throughout the building.
