Spacious Contemporary-Minimal Office in San Francisco Feels Casual and Classy

We have always admired the way in which modern home office have evolved from the decades of the boring cubicles to spaces that feel fun-filled and stimulating. The trend has been truly revolutionary at times with smart offices now seeming more and more like contemporary homes with extended work areas. The Patreon Office designed by Gensler is one such gorgeous creation in San Francisco that combines creativity with relaxing panache and plenty of modernity. Started in 2013, Patreon brings together artists, musicians and creative folk from different backdrop. Its latest headquarters is the perfect hub for all the bustling activity.

New Office of Patreon in San Francisco designed by Gensler

The smart design of the new office occupying a space of 41,000 square feet blends a dash of industrial style with contemporary finishes and a neutral color scheme. The central work area feels like a spacious, open living room of a modern house and a vaulted ceiling with glass panes brings in plenty of natural light. Smaller, more secure workspaces with pops of colors, recording studios and other artistic areas have been combined efficiently in here and one zone flows into the next. The entire Patreon headquarters feels like a sophisticated hub that brings together and nurtures a community of artists. [Photography: Emily Hagopian]

  • Kūono at Volcano

    Kūono is a modern cabin located on the Big Island of Hawaii near Volcanoes National Park. Its exterior was inspired by the modern sea cabins of Norway, and was designed to appear as a modern shape glowing in contrast to the dense Ohia forest. The exterior features of the property fade seamlessly into the boundaries of the site, with a crushed basalt driveway, native landscaping and outdoor sitting areas that were leveled with rocks dislodged during foundation preparation. Water to the property is supplied by a catchment tank and pump house, screened from view by horizontal cedar lattice. Kūono’s design allows for the experience of minimal restriction between indoor and outdoor. Its living spaces include both an open concept interior floor plan as well as an expansive lanai that features a central fire pit, lounge chairs and cedar ofuro soaking tub. From inside the cabin, a full height window wall and sliding glass doors give guests a complete vertical panorama of soil to blue sky through the Ohia canopies above. The floor plan efficiently accommodates four, with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and a vaulted sleeping/living space. In addition this home was under construction during the 2018 eruption that lasted 4 months. Although it was 20 miles away from the flowing lava that decimated over 700 homes, it was 4 miles away for the Halemaumau Crater which at one point experienced a 30 day stretch with daily 5.0 or greater earthquakes including one with a magnitude of 6.9. Minimal, modern, yet comfortable, Kūono is meant to be a place of respite, where guests are immersed in the beauty of Volcano’s natural landscape with the comforts of a luxury guest home still at hand.
