Is it possible to design a market-rate, zero carbon emissions office building in St. Louis? A dedicated team led by HOK and our friends at The Weidt Group decided to find out. The exciting news is that though a variety of conditions — from the climate to the cheap electricity — made St. Louis a challenging location, the answer is YES! And the design process will transfer to most North American cities.
We’ll share details about the design and process …
I’ve been meaning to post this for a while now, but what better time to do it than Super Bowl week!
This is a Super Bowl commercial from a few years ago, put on by Reebok. It’s the story of a CEO of a company hiring an ‘office linebacker’ (Terry Tate) to scare employees into being prodcutive and doing the right thing.
Personally, my favorite part is when the guy is intimidated (mind games) into throwing the the can into the recycling bin. Luckily, we dont have to police that much around here though. We got some pretty responsible ‘greenies’ in the Atlanta office.

Found this site while doing some research. Thought I would share my discovery here.
If you have ever been curious to see where people work, what their offices look like – now is your chance.

We’ve gotten really big really fast and it’s time for some new digs. We’re moving just a few blocks away to the CNA building (the big red one). It’s starting to get really exciting as we’ve now got our permit in hand and studs are going up faster than you can say “change order”… just kidding! Anyway, I thought it’d be nice to start with a quick tour of our current office so you get …
Chelsea Cheng (HOK NY Interiors) recently came back from her hometown, Hong Kong, and shared an interesting story on the visit.
“During my visit in Hong Kong, I was given a chance to visit the Hong Kong HOK office. The office is located in Mid Level, Central, where you can take the escalator up the hill or take a few moments to walk up one of the few dated stone paths. Because of where the office is situated, it overlooks the city (Hong Kong Island) and the famous Victoria Harbour. I was stunned by the endless view when I walked into the reception. After admiring the view for a brief moment, I
