Weber | Blackstone Headquarters
Jacoby Architects
The Weber | Blackstone Headquarters is a 95,000-SF, two-level commercial office building on a pastoral site in Providence. The facility contains a research and development area for designing, engineering, and prototyping new products; a commercial kitchen and dining area to support 250 employees; test kitchens and showrooms for marketing efforts; a light-filled common area with interior trees and topographically inspired lecture steps; a full size gymnasium with running track and fitness area; open office spaces, enclosed offices, and conference rooms for company operations; entry plazas, and extensive backyard landscaping and pathways adjacent to a river and natural springs on site.
As a company based in outdoor cooking and backyard entertaining, the concept for the Weber | Blackstone building and site design took inspiration from the idea of the backyard. The building form took on the shape of wings, delicately landing on this beautiful site; wings that also signified Weber | Blackstone taking off as a successful product design company. The footprint of the building was oriented such that it opened its arms to the backyard concept, looking out to the river and springs in the backdrop, and continuing this natural, welcoming design theme inside.
