In this episode, Cherise is joined by Brett Baba, Principal/Founder at
Graham Baba Architects, based in Seattle Washington. They discuss the
Washington Fruit & Produce headquarters, in Yakima Washington.
Washington Fruit & Produce headquarters is a 16,500 square foot commercial office/headquarters that serves as a refuge from the company's surrounding 90 acres of industrial agribusiness landscape.
Inspired by an abandoned wood barn, the building aesthetic is largely driven by the glulam beams and an impressive glass façade. The expressed structural frame of laminated wood buttresses creates a column-free interior, faced in floor-to-ceiling glass the nestles the staff within curated views of natural landscape.
