Weaver Architects has developed the new offices of law enforcement technology firm Axon located in Seattle, Washington.

Early on in the design process, the CEO came to us with an idea that became the driving focus of the project. The concept? To craft a porthole into the future of technology. The goal was to create the feeling of not walking into a corporate office, but instead, boarding a spacecraft that will transport one to unknown territories of time far ahead of us.

With such an ambitious concept, the design of the client’s new home required inventive choices. The most noticeable is the first visible feature – the front door, which has been designed to resemble a spaceship hatch. When the heavy metal doors slide open, guests are greeted with an interactive panel to confirm their identity before entering.
