A forest grove with shaded areas and a dog run, food truck area and community space are also planned. These include an amphitheater facing a central green suitable for outdoor concerts, farmers’ markets, and movies in the park. Green spaces: Open spaces totaling more than 2.5 acres will be accessible for public use.Much like The Spheres, The Helix will be open to the general public several weekends a month. The space will include a 1,500-person meeting center. The 370,000-square-foot building will feature two walkable paths of landscaped terrain that will spiral up the outside of the 350-foot-tall building, featuring plantings that might be found on a hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Schoettler said. In Arlington, the concept takes the shape of a double helix, which will offer a similarly unique work environment. Those three glass orbs feature thousands of plants from around the world in a tropical work setting for the company’s employees. The Helix: Amazon first embraced the concept of biophilia - the innate human desire to connect with nature - with the construction of The Spheres at its Seattle headquarters.An all-electric central heating and cooling system will run on 100% renewable energy from a solar farm located in Pittsylvania County in southern Virginia, procured in collaboration with Arlington County. In line with the company’s Climate Pledge to be net-zero carbon by 2040, the buildings are designed to be LEED Platinum, the highest certification for a sustainable development issued by the U.S. Three sustainable 22-story buildings: Amazon will develop 2.8 million square feet of new office space with a focus on collaboration, natural light, and a constant interaction with nature.The highlights of the proposed campus include: But Schoettler said the company views Arlington as a long-term investment, where Amazon remains committed to the $2.5 billion project for the next decade. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped how and where people work and has shuttered many tech workspaces over the past year, including Amazon’s. Much has changed since Amazon cancelled plans to split a 50,000-person HQ2 between New York City and Arlington in early 2019. Much like in Seattle, natural landscapes will be infused into the urban environment. “For this project, we’re doubling down on the importance of fostering an open and inviting community by creating a new destination for local residents,” Schoettler said of the project, designed by the architecture firm NBBJ. In a new blog post on Tuesday, Amazon’s global real estate chief John Schoettler offered up details on the architectural and ecological elements at PenPlace, the name of the site where Amazon will someday station 25,000 employees in the suburb of Washington, D.C. (Amazon Images)Īmazon’s proposed design plans for its second headquarters campus in Arlington, Va., will have a familiar look for anyone who has ever set foot in Seattle as three tall office buildings ring a unique glass-enclosed structure. A rendering of Amazon’s proposed design for its second headquarters campus in Arlington, Va., includes a unique, spiraling centerpiece building called The Helix.
