4 Outstanding Offices in the U.S.

East and West Coast offices rise to the occasion.


1. Firm: TPG Architecture.

Project: WebMD Headquarters.

Site: New York.

Standout: A steel-bead curtain, lit by color-changing LEDs, shimmers like a waterfall in the double-height atrium at headquarters for an online wellness resource.


2. Firm: Rockwell Group.

Project: NeueHouse Hollywood.

Site: Los Angeles.

Standout: Orson Welles and Lucille Ball recorded in a 1938 studio building that’s now a coworking space where original elements are enhanced by custom touches.


3. Firm: Perkins + Will.

Project: Morningstar Credit Ratings Headquarters.

Site: New York.

Standout: An exaggerated “o” in the logo of this investment-research company is echoed by the drum-shape auditorium and cylindrical Verner Panton stools at headquarters.


4. Firm: Elkus Manfredi Architects.

Project: New Balance Headquarters.

Site: Boston.

Standout: Though the LEED Platinum status is invisible, the hilly public exercise area outside and a coffee bar’s neon tribute to local runners are there for all to see.
