For a company built on connecting people, places, and cargo across the Pacific, a new HQ needed to do more than house desks, it needed to carry the weight of a maritime legacy while giving a fast-growing team room to move. When an urgent lease deadline forced this family-owned shipping company out of downtown Oakland, One Workplace stepped in on an accelerated timeline to deliver a single-floor headquarters in Walnut Creek that pairs hierarchy-aware private offices with a gallery-level celebration of the client's history on the water.

Working in an integrated design-build delivery with AP+I Design and BCCI Construction, One Workplace furnished nearly 57,000 square feet of tenant improvement space, from a boardroom anchored by a 30-foot custom table to nearly 500 linear feet of built-in millwork completed in just four weeks. The result is a workplace that reads like a maritime museum as much as a corporate headquarters, with model ships, an oar, gallery art, and wood detailing throughout that trace the company's history at every turn.
