For its world headquarters, it was critical for Reebok to have a design that?s as dynamic and energetic as its products are. NBBJ Architects of Seattle gave it to them, with a design that, according to Reebok spokesperson Bonnie Duncan, creates "a sense of movement, achievement, and cutting-edge creativity to reflect the company's personality." NBBJ?s free-flowing look features curved walls and windows, extreme angles, and futuristic design elements like windows that curve effortlessly into walls.

The design for the 522,000-square-foot headquarters won a prestigious American Architectural Award from the Chicago Athenaeum, due to notable design details like ceiling systems from Hunter Douglas Contract, with 300C wide panels creating smooth, clean surfaces; a Box 4 linear system defining the walls and ceiling of the indoor terrace; and acoustically-lined panels that expertly control sound in the three-story, 30,000-square-foot fitness center. And the nearly 100,000 square feet of Hunter Douglas Contract products met Reebok's environmental goals, in that they?re all made of recycled materials. The design?s a winning combo: good-looking and smart.
