Rapt Studio was commissioned by Adobe in 2010 to plan its central campus, capitalising on the firm’s expertise in defining and conceiving environments round evolving heritage. Adobe challenged Rapt to create a workplace that would be both an elongation and reflection of Adobe’s innovative emblem and culture.
The four-storey rectangle base building spans over 280,000 square feet, and showcases an exclusive approach to integrated workspace. Rapt has designed an open, collaborative natural environment for the company’s employees, bringing the brand’s sign outward in a public-facing way.
The entire interior space is resonant with Adobe’s graphic reminders, from images conceived by international artists utilising Adobe programs to murals by road creative people El Mac and graffiti artist microphone Giant in their signature styles. Adobe’s facility also features a worker’s cafe, an inside basketball court, a rock-climbing partition, a game room entitled “The Bunker” and a fully equipped gym.
The building accommodates up to 1,100 Adobe staff. The construction architect and master planner of Adobe’s new building were WRNS Studio based in San Francisco.
