Project Strategy
One Medical is a membership-based primary care practice on a mission to make quality care more affordable, accessible, and enjoyable for all. In addition to a direct-to-consumer membership model, they work with nearly 6,000 companies to provide One Medical health benefits to their employees. In addition to their 70+ medical office locations across the country, One Medical’s corporate offices in the Bay Area were recently updated to visually express their commitment to the wellness of their members and employees.
The design concept was Nature and Nurture. The intent was to build a nurturing office space with a focus on productivity. Organic elements blend with geometric shapes to create a dynamic, textured, and well-rounded environment. Repetitive bold colors and dynamic design statements are interspersed throughout the three floors, not only to enhance the visual appeal of One Medical’s work environment, but to unify and interconnect teams across the floors. We also aimed for the space to have more of a residential and hospitality feel instead of a traditional corporate environment.
The overall square footage of the project was roughly 60,000. The building posed a unique challenge. Taking three floors of Embarcadero Center 1 in San Francisco, One Medical wanted an open office within this classic building that was originally designed for private offices. In the end, the One Medical team is thrilled with the space. Some of the original design choices were adjusted to meet budget requirements. For example, broadloom had been specified to create a residential feel in lounge areas, but this was changed to carpet tile for cost savings.
