WeWork opens San Francisco HQ in Pelli Clarke Pelli's Salesforce Tower

Co-working company WeWork has completed a light-filled headquarters in San Francisco's 61-storey Salesforce Tower, featuring mid-century furniture, vibrant rugs and bold artwork.

The co-working company has taken over three floors of the skyscraper, which was completed in 2018 by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects for cloud computing company Salesforce.

WeWork's headquarters occupy the 36th and 38th floor, while the 37th floor in between hosts a mix of employees and members of WeWork. A staircase runs up an atrium to connect the three levels.

The interior design was completed by an in-house team led by WeWork chief creative officer Adam Kimmel, which also recently designed Thrive Globals' headquarters in New York City. Following on from this project, the San Francisco headquarters are intended to be colourful and relaxed.

The Salesforce Tower has a curved glazed exterior, bringing ample natural light into the headquarters. Floors are mainly left open-plan to be better suited for collaborating and socialising, with some areas segmented by glazed partitions.
