Flad Architects

Based in Seattle, Flad Architects designs biopharmaceutical headquarters and corporate diagnostic facilities defined by razor-thin glazed prows, dramatic roof folds hovering over slender structural columns, and tall glass envelopes that bring exterior landscapes directly into multi-level interior circulation. This work serves as a strong reference when detailing double-height entrance frames, carving continuous spatial voids between workstation and lounge levels, or minimizing visual mass along prominent glazed building corners.

Geometry
Multi-level open interior organized around a large circular atrium cutout, bounded by curved full-height structural glass partitions.
Structural guess
Steel frame with concrete floor slabs and suspended ceiling systems.
Spatial scale
Vast multi-story commercial scale with large open floor plates and generous ceiling heights.
Lighting
Bright, even artificial illumination integrated with linear ceiling reveals and circular light fixtures, complemented by diffuse daylight from perimeter glazing.
Atmosphere
Clean, bright, and highly ordered corporate environment with expansive sightlines.
Environmental context
Large corporate interior facility with open plan workstations and breakout zones.
Spatial experience
Movement flows along wide perimeter circulation corridors that offer continuous visual connection down into lower workspace floors and across open areas.
Composition rhythm
Repeating linear ceiling slots contrast with the sweeping curve of the glass atrium edge.
