The Intuit Atlanta Office Pulses with the City's Energy

It was early 2022. After nearly two years of working from home, employees were tentatively returning to the office, many carrying with them a newfound preference for the flexibility and convenience of remote work. While the Intuit Atlanta office, home of Intuit Mailchimp was still in its conceptual stage, employers across industries were reimagining the office, considering what a workplace could give back to its workers—adaptable environments, a welcoming feel, and an enlivening design.

“What’s missing from working from home is the camaraderie and joy that only the workplace makes,” says Primo Orpilla, cofounder and principal of Studio O+A, one of the firms that collaborated on the design for the office. “Intuit and Mailchimp were asking, how do we take care of our people? And how do we keep them energized and rejuvenated?”

From Periscope House to Material Futures: A Dialogue with J. Jih

Periscope House is very much a stage, unspooling like a reel of film. The low-slung foyer branches delicately to a semi-private guest suite and office space… but beckons the entrant toward the aortas of a communal ground floor (living, dining, and kitchen galleries) or the private upper suites of a primary bedroom suite and secondary office. Spaces deliberately “flow”—interconnected through shared double heights, soft corners, and precise perforations of the house’s exterior envelope. The fenestrations are not dictated exclusively by view, or even daylight—but reflect, like much of the house, a dialog between owners and J. Roc Jih, the Boston-based architect, and Associate Professor of the Practice at MIT.

In Chile, Monolithic Garden Follies Conceal a Group of Wellness Pavilions

Enigmatic in nature but not in functionality, the YR Pavilion is a series of sculptural forms nestled within a meditative garden in Vitacura, Chile. By day, they appear to be monolithic structures, their woven concrete facades casting intricate shadows. By night, they emit a warm glow as interior lights filter through the translucent glass brick within. The project, a collaboration between Cruz-Mandiola Arquitectura & Objetos and Elton Leniz Arquitectos, was crafted for longtime clients. “They were in their 80s when we started,” says architect Mauricio Léniz, who embarked on the “highly personal” commission after completing multiple projects for the family, including a beach house and an art gallery.

5 Solutions for Smarter Building

When most people hear “building products,” they likely think of materials like concrete blocks, roofing, and lumber. But many building products also enhance interior spaces, introduce natural light, and fulfill essential functional roles within a building. This category of smart building solutions is continually evolving, with the latest product introductions—from Armstrong Ceilings, Eldorado Stone, USG, Kingspan Group, and ASI Group—offering increased durability, reduced maintenance needs, and greater energy efficiency than ever before.

Glass Walls That Make a Clear Statement

On the interior, glass is about much more than simultaneously providing privacy and access to daylight. Trends in 2025 play with texture, dimension, and unexpected finishes. Whether used as an opportunity to introduce branding, set the mood, or make a bold statement in contrast to weightier building materials, these interior glass wall products—from Skyline Glass, Glen-Gery and Bendheim—are made to shine.

Under a Steel Canopy, NVIDIA Unveils a New Kind of Tech Campus

If you’re flying in or out of San Jose, California, there’s a good chance you’ll spot the headquarters of AI-systems company NVIDIA. The two buildings—one roughly triangular and the other hexagonal—with their undulating geodesic roofs, stand out from all the tilt-up structures around them. Designed by architecture and design firm Gensler in two phases, the campus addresses the fundamental Silicon Valley question: How do you get thousands of people to collaborate as if they were working for a start-up?
