The Workshop is a setting designed for teams to work together in active collaboration. By providing a variety of settings that enable connection to and interaction with nature, the workshop stimulates innovation by prompting intellectual curiosity, creativity, and exploration.

2. Adjacent to the building, Upfit units placed on a deck surface create a transition between indoor and outdoor work.
3. A combination of Upfit louvered and open roofs, open and slatted interior walls, and glass markerboard panels and display monitors provide choices for the type of work and outdoor connection inhabitants desire.
