Client: Genentech, Inc.
Genentech, headquartered in South San Francisco, is a world leader in biotechnology. Johnson Fain has provided a wide range of design services for Genentech including master planning, architecture, and interior design. At the heart of its campus is a new administrative office complex. This multi-phase project, the result of a design-build process, is located on a bluff overlooking the San Francisco Bay and consists of three 5 story office buildings clustered around a circular courtyard. Ground floors contain common facilities for the employees including a cafeteria, Genentech Store, and conference and meeting rooms.
The exterior treatment of the building facades reflects the interior functions of the activities within, and are composed of natural, sustainable, and durable materials. Private offices on the upper floors take advantage of the extraordinary outward views of the San Francisco Bay while common space and conferencing look to the landscaped courtyard within the site.
