Centene East Coast Regional Headquarters Interiors

Charlotte, NC

The site orientation creates contiguous clusters of buildings in an east/west orientation wrapping a water feature which serves as a central activity hub.  The exterior prioritizes transparency to create a sense of “working in a treehouse.” Vertical facade elements abstract a tree’s trunks and branches. Inside, the awe-inspiring entry lobby atriums act as the buildings’ primary organizational element and serves as the central and most significant collaboration space. “Treehouse” meeting space experiences scattered throughout the buildings provide unique collaboration opportunities as people rise through the buildings on monumental open staircases.
