This semiconductor company’s Santa Clara headquarters connects technical work, laboratories, and everyday collaboration within a workplace built for continued innovation. IA used electric current as an organizing idea across four floors, creating clearer movement between people and specialized functions while giving the growing organization a flexible platform in the center of Silicon Valley.

Collaboration Connects Labs and Workplace
Open work areas, breakout settings, and informal meeting zones gather around a central collaborative core, making shared activity visible across the floor. Expansive workstations receive daylight and city views, while parklet-style booths, game rooms, mothers’ rooms, and serenity rooms support different work modes and personal needs. The nearby theme park provides a dynamic backdrop. Roller-coaster movement reinforces the workplace’s sense of momentum and ongoing transformation without becoming part of the graphic language. By concentrating social resources at the center and preserving access to light at the perimeter, the plan helps technical teams move between focused work, quick exchange, and broader collaboration with less friction.

Infrastructure Enables Future Growth
Laboratories on the first and fourth floors accommodate high-capacity power, dedicated HVAC, and specialized infrastructure. A central utility plant and reinforced rooftop mechanical zones provide resilience for advanced technical work. Daylight optimization, durable materials, and energy-efficient systems support long-term environmental performance. Laboratory precision and workplace agility coexist rather than occupying separate worlds. The headquarters replaces an outdated facility with a clear, connected campus ready for growth. Electric current becomes a useful metaphor: invisible systems enabling discovery, shared spaces carrying energy between people, and a company moving purposefully into Silicon Valley’s center.
