SAP Americas Headquarters Expansion

Newtown Square, PA

Client: SAP Americas, Inc.
Completion: 2009
Area: 425,000 sf

FXFOWLE designed the corporate headquarters and interiors for the environmentally–responsible SAP America. The two-phase complex complements the existing structure by integrating the office campus into the topography while preserving views of the wooded-site. Offices are focused on the north side of the building to capitalize on landscape views, with service and fixed elements grouped together in nodes along an anchoring spine. As a design hallmark, the atrium is shaded by warmly–detailed brise soleil, enriched with a fieldstone wall at the base. Green roofs further weave the structure into the landscape, serving as part of a calibrated system of sustainable strategies. The project is on track for a LEED Platinum Rating.
