Grove Office

This private office building was designed to feel like it has always belonged to its neighborhood. Shaped through conversations with local civic associations, its street-facing massing bridges the residential homes to the east and the commercial buildings to the west, while screening a private parking and entry courtyard that reveals itself on arrival. Transparent storefronts, human-scale detailing, and native, drought-tolerant plantings reinforce the walkable Grove Avenue corridor, and permeable pavers help manage stormwater. Inside, a high-performance envelope, VRF heating and cooling, and generous daylight create a healthy, comfortable workplace, complemented by a gym, sauna, cold plunge, a centralized well-stocked kitchen, and an inviting rooftop lounge with a dedicated kitchen. Together, these elements weave architecture, sustainability, wellness, and community into one cohesive whole.
