Adidas EVE

This project was selected as an Honor winner in ARCHITECT's 2022 Architecture & Interiors Awards, Interior: Large Office category.

“The use of exposed building systems, concrete, and just the right amount of wood is a textural feast for the eyes.” — Juror Denise Rush

When sportswear giant Adidas launched a national design competition for the expansion of its North American headquarters in Portland, Ore., Studio O+A, LEVER Architecture, and GGN formed the winning team, collaborating as interior designers, architects, and landscape architects, respectively. They began construction on the 460,000-square-foot project in the middle of a global pandemic, ultimately completing a 182,000-square-foot office structure and a 31,000-square-foot boutique fitness center.

For the expansion, the San Francisco–based Studio O+A developed flexible office interiors where employees can make swift changes to their strategy—and to their workspaces—as circumstances change on the ground. The studio favored a stripped-down aesthetic that makes a virtue of simplicity, reusing wood from trees felled to clear the construction site to make furniture for the headquarters.
