Two Clouds for a Giant
We recently made a visit to an exceptionally large project completed earlier this year as part of the top to bottom renovations of buildings 40 & 41 on Microsoft’s campus. A collaboration with Bora Architects, we’re quite pleased with the result.
INNER CLOUD
A custom tile system developed and deployed through the central corridor of each building’s six floors. The tile sets on each floor were unique, each conceived to abstractly reflect a different era in the history of digital data storage. Altogether, the Superfab Inner Cloud tile system was composed of more than 3,000 tiles installed across approximately 15,000sf of wall and ceiling area throughout the two buildings.

DOWEL CLOUD
A parametrically generated point-cloud sculpture composed of maple dowels and suspended above each of the two buildings’ ground floor lobbies.
