The Nest

As the population of their campus doubled with expanded delivery orders, the site of this aircraft manufacturing plant required the addition of 3 new buildings - an manufacturing office building, a new product test lab and a showcase building for amenities. The design pictured here is located on the main axis of the site in the heart of the campus, the architectural focal point of the pedestrian boulevard and the center of activity for all employees. The central amenity facility, called the NEST, uses the customer's theme of "operational versatility": a kind of multi-option chassis aimed at making missions more flexible. The main goal here was to use culinary excellence to bring people together, where employees could engage in unplanned "promiscuous learning" exchanges to develop new ideas. State-of-the-art global food innovation capability became the operational chassis of the NEST, with spaces dedicated to collaboration, exchange of ideas, leisure and decompression added for “versatility”.
