The Reedo Building was originally built in 1904 in Historic Pioneer Square. This project entailed renovating a historic office building which was severely damaged during the 2001 Nisqually Earthquake. The project was completed in late 2006, and 100% leased upon completion to Starbucks Corporation. In 2019, Katerra Design and the Katerra Renovations teams, started renovations over three floors and the mezzanine and completed in 2020. Our first guiding principle was to preserve the history of the building, we did this through the use of raw materials, maintaining authenticity and character.
It was important to focus on the moments of connections within the space and intentionally left construction details exposed. We incorporated a connecting stair to keep the lively energy of our collaborative office.
Constructed with pipe columns for support and contrasted with a delicate horizontal cable rail, the stair design creates a juxtaposition of heavy and delicate elements connecting the two levels.
The intention of the speak easy was to provide program on the second floor that was special and unique, we loved the idea of creating a concealed entrance so there was a sense of exploration upon arrival. We did this by designing a door integrated into a slatted wall to keep it concealed.
The office featured a polycarbonate wall that stands at 22 feet tall, to allow for privacy between different work zones but still filter light in from the skylights on the upper floor.
Throughout the project we were mindful in using timeless and refined finishes that highlight the authenticity and craft of the original building.

An emphasis on locality and energetic environment for the sales team were important design principles for our client. We provided a tailored workplace that reflects the Arizona landscape and drew inspiration from the uncultivated environment and raw textures of the desert. The use of warm tones, texture, and simple geometric forms create a refined space that embodies simplicity and sophistication.
The Galleria was a shopping mall turned Tech Hub. Indeed took over a space that was once a culinary school is now a resort-like work environment for Indeed’s young and energetic employees.
