Hitachi Global Storage Technologies International Headquarters
San Jose

The primary design challenge for Hitachi Global Storage Technologies’ 366,000-square –foot international headquarters was to create an environment that facilitated collaboration and encouraged a sense of community between the corporate and research and development groups housed in this facility. Working within a limited budget, AAi transformed the massive, multi-story atrium at the core of the company’s headquarters into a warm and inviting space. In addition, AAi designed open and private offices, training rooms, conference rooms, executive offices and an executive boardroom. Color palettes, lighting improvements, furniture specifications, and custom signage were developed for the entire facility.
