In an old warehouse near the
San Francisco Bay, Marmol Radziner inserts seaworthy curves,
launching new offices for TBWA\CHIAT\DAY

The skull-and-crossbones
flag snapping in the wind above an 85-year-old, four-story
warehouse on San Francisco's old Barbary Coast suggests the
headquarters of bloodthirsty pirates. The only outlaws here,
however, are the creative employees of the once-maverick ad
firm of TBWA\Chiat\Day, occupying a space recently completed
by Marmol Radziner + Associates of Santa Monica, California.
Though much of the industry has moved to match the radical
style of TBWA\Chiat\Day, the firm continues to outpace them
all—in part by maintaining a tradition of hiring fresh-thinking
architectural talent, such as Frank Gehry, to design its workplaces.
The company's new San Francisco offices are no exception.
