Atrium Remodel

Location: Palo Alto, CA

Area: 34,438SF

Completed: 2025

The atrium improvement project turned a cold, uninviting open air atrium space into a lively and bright multi-level plaza in which landscape and increased circulation provide a space for congregation and activity. By stripping back the existing stucco walls and ribbon windows, the project is able to open up with the addition of new second and third floor balconies that are carved out of the existing building form creating private tenant space and increasing light and air in the central courtyard. New pedestrian bridges connect the front and rear of the floorplate along the atrium allowing for greater connectivity and the opportunity for either single or two-tenant leasing.
