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.

Regeneron Biopharmaceutical Campus Expansion

A corporate campus expansion featuring a prominent folded roof canopy and transparent double-height curtain wall, offering a strong architectural precedent for life-science or commercial campus entry portals.

What we like about this project
The roof fold dramatically pinches down at the corner to frame the double-height entrance.

Geometry
An angular, folded roof canopy spans over a multi-story transparent glass curtain wall, creating a dynamic double-height portal overlooking a paved public plaza.
Facade system
Stick-built structural glass curtain wall with integrated steel columns.
Structural guess
Steel frame with wide-span trusses supporting the cantilevered roof canopy.
Spatial scale
Large multi-story corporate campus building with human scale established by ground-level seating, doors, and pedestrian figures.
Lighting
Bright late-day sunlight casting sharp shadows across the plaza and illuminating the interior workspaces through clear glazing.
Atmosphere
Welcoming, vibrant, and professional daytime campus environment.
Environmental context
A campus quad or plaza setting with paved walkways, outdoor seating, mature landscaping, and connecting exterior walkways.
Spatial experience
The deep roof overhang provides a framed, sheltered threshold that bridges the expansive exterior plaza with the active, light-filled interior atrium.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal curtain wall mullions balanced by the rising diagonal line of the faceted roof canopy.
