Huntsman Architectural Group was tasked with the office design for Wilbur Labs located in San Francisco, California.
Wilbur Labs is a San Francisco-based startup studio that’s turning bold ideas into market-leading companies. From our namesake, we’ve drawn inspiration from the Wright Brothers. We believe in “building the plane as we fly it,” and this frame of thinking inspired our new office design. As we look toward building dozens of companies in the coming years, we knew we needed a unique workspace that could be customized to our needs.
We worked with Huntsman Architectural Group to design a space that worked for our entire team. “They wanted a space that has a modern and timeless feel. Nothing that is too trendy and everything in the office is very thoughtful and useful. Everything was designed with intent,” shared the Huntsman team about the design of our HQ. Our design vision derived from the Wright Brothers’ legacy, and we implemented aesthetics that commemorate aviation. Features like our custom wallpaper showcasing the blueprint of the Wright Brothers’ first successfully flying airplane make the space truly unique to our brand.
As we assessed the needs of our team, three crucial themes drove the design features of our new office: multi-company support, consideration of both onsite and distributed teams, and prioritizing employee health and wellness.
