FENNIE+MEHL have designed the new offices of creative technology consultants ThoughtWorks, located in San Francisco, California.

Can a physical space be a vehicle for change? That was the question FENNIE+MEHL pondered when the global software development company ThoughtWorks tasked them to find and build out a new San Francisco office.

Committing to ThoughtWorks’ mission of passionately advocating for positive social and economic justice, F+M passed over real estate options in more affluent areas and found the perfect vacant space in the heart of the city, at a literal and symbolic intersection of new tech, urban grit and multicultural vibrancy.
