自然的契合
LG希望将其北美总部从曼哈顿北部地区整合到哈德逊河沿岸的总部园区。
此项目需要维持这家总部位于首尔的公司在消费类电子产品领域的领先地位，同时还要保护毗邻的国家历史地标帕利塞兹州际公园的标志性景观面貌及完整性。
HOK团队与LG的领导者和当地保护组织协作，打造了一个体量为32,515平方米的建筑，很好地融入了当地地貌并保持在林木线以下。这座横向延伸的总部大楼或者说“摩地大楼”，一共396米 —— 相当于一座120层的办公大楼。
城郊办公典范
LG的新园区已成为后疫情时代各个公司在城市中心以外地区寻求灵活办公空间的典范。
此设计并没有采用城郊办公楼中常见的大进深平面。取而代之的是，两栋狭窄的办公翼楼坐落在一个像是从地面上长出来的植物基座上。每栋办公翼楼都不到30米宽，可以让自然光充满内部空间并让员工欣赏到自然景观。开放式平面布局为人们提供了足够的空间来分散活动。楼梯环布在建筑物的周边并用玻璃封闭，为员工提供了除电梯以外的选择。
一个带有公共中庭的三层玻璃“立方体”连接着两座建筑。
健康的工作环境
除了可以欣赏到帕利塞兹的自然地貌和河流的美景，能便捷地抵达户外也增强了LG员工的身心健康。园区包括了户外露台、修复的林地、韩式冥想花园、蜿蜒穿过园区的步行道以及一个篮球场。
员工餐厅面向景观广场，健身中心面向一个庭院。
玻璃立方体连接
位于两栋办公翼楼之间的1,672平方米的定制玻璃盒子是LG北美总部园区活动的支点。
立方体设有开放式中庭、LG产品陈列室以及培训和会议空间。二楼的社区科学中心是一个教育中心，学生可以在这里学习科学和技术。
悬臂式雨蓬在立方体的东侧。可操作玻璃幕墙面板使绿化屋顶和室外景观通透可见。
在立方体的玻璃幕墙内对应的是垂直起伏的竹木“包裹层”，灵感来源于传统的韩国篮子编织工艺。在立方体的西侧与北侧，这个三层楼高的内墙和双层玻璃幕墙之间形成了一个长长的线性空间。
作为一个独立结构“漂浮”的玻璃幕墙是由建筑团队定制设计，在意大利工厂制造，现场完成组装。
修复的项目基地
沿着帕利塞兹州际公园大道占地10.9公顷的遍布岩石的项目基地曾经是一个银行处理中心的所在地。它曾被大片柏油覆盖。
设计将建筑与景观融为一体，保留了现有的林地和湿地，同时将很大一部分土地恢复成了自然栖息地。
一位风水大师曾指导设计团队将建筑朝向东南方向，向河流的方向逐渐向下层叠。
该设计融合了LG的愿景，即在历史悠久的帕利塞兹林木线下方的公园般的环境中建造一个世界级的、可持续发展的总部。
– Kenneth Drucker，FAIA，设计总监
项目基地又额外种植了超过1,500棵树木（其中大部分是大苗）和50%的绿地，达到了缓和开发项目对生态和视觉的影响。
一个大型景观缓冲区将建筑物从住宅区向南隔离开来。广阔的绿色空间面向哈德逊河。
如果LG未来需要扩张，可以在现有游客停车场的位置增加第三栋翼楼，用廊桥连接到现有建筑物。
LEED 白金级可持续设计
建立一个对环境负责的总部是LG的首要任务。该园区已获得LEED新建工程类白金认证。
一系列玻璃面板包裹着钢结构的建筑，东面和南面幕墙的水平百叶保护它免受眩光和得热的影响。折叠的“蝴蝶翼”附加层水平百叶突出了东侧的主入口。
位于每栋办公翼楼西半部和停车场上方的5,600平方米的LG太阳能电池板供应了项目基地所用总电力的30%。由于LG承诺为剩余的70%购买绿色电力，该建筑在电力方面实现了碳中和。能源使用强度 (EUI) 比类似建筑的AIA 2030基准低58%。
8,100平方米的绿化屋顶种植了各种本地植物，与办公翼楼楼顶的光伏组件并排。将屋顶的每个可用部分用于光伏发电或进行种植可以增强气候适应力。
其他可持续战略包括修复六个湿地、三个原生林地和一个雨水调蓄池，以减少地表径流并收集雨水。
项目基地毗邻哈德逊河，是鸟类重要的迁徙途径地。设计团队遵循奥杜邦协会关于鸟类保护的指导方针，这包括了在玻璃幕墙上使用彩釉玻璃。基地的间接照明、自动卷帘和智能照明系统减轻了光污染。
LG的员工可以使用电动汽车充电站和充足的自行车存放空间。
高效能的工作场所
基于LG的极简主义设计美学，低调的室内装饰采用了中性的色调，偶尔会有与品牌相关的色彩点缀。
主楼入口和用餐区的绿植墙灵感来源于韩国地形的图案。
模数化设计的开放办公平面包含了一系列位于中心位置的工作咖啡吧和会议讨论区。
私人办公室位于中心，远离外窗。这使得日光能够深入空间，并在建筑物内部的大部分地点都能欣赏到户外景观。
园区总部包含一个带有董事会议室的行政楼层。
LG的技术和系统整合贯穿在整个园区内。这些包括数字标识显示器、智能电器、光伏板和暖通空调系统。团队指定了LG Hausys方块地毯、人造石 (HI-MACS) 和石英石 (Viatera) 用于木作，诸如柜台和墙板。

A Natural Fit
LG wanted to consolidate its North American headquarters on a single site across the Hudson River from northern Manhattan.
The facility needed to sustain the Seoul-based company’s leadership in consumer electronics while also protecting the iconic vistas and integrity of the adjacent Palisades Interstate Park, a National Historic Landmark.
HOK’s team collaborated with LG’s leaders and local conservation groups to create a design that nestles the 350,000-sq.-ft. building into the landscape and below the tree line. The horizontal headquarters, or 'groundscraper,’ is 1,300 feet long—equivalent to a 120-story office tower.
Suburban Office Model
LG’s new campus has become a post-COVID-19 model for companies seeking flexible office space outside urban centers.
The design rejects the deep floor plates that have been so common in suburban office buildings. Instead, two narrow office wings rest on a vegetated plinth that appears to grow out of the earth. The office wings each are less than 100 feet wide, allowing daylight to flood the space and providing views of nature. Open floor plates give people plenty of space to spread out. Stairways are located along the perimeter of the building and enclosed with glass, offering a pleasant alternative to elevators.
A three-story glass 'cube’ with a public atrium links the two buildings.
Healthy Work Environment
Along with providing views out to the Palisades environment and river, easy access to the outdoors enhances the mental and physical well-being of LG’s people. The grounds include outdoor terraces, restored woodlands, contemplative Korean gardens, a walking trail that weaves through the site and a basketball court.
The cafeteria opens to a landscaped plaza and the fitness center opens to a courtyard.
The Glass Cube Connector
An 18,000-square-foot, custom-built glass box between the two office wings acts as the fulcrum for campus activity at LG’s North American headquarters.
The cube houses an open atrium, showrooms for LG’s products, and training and meeting spaces. The Community Science Center on the second floor serves as an educational center where students can learn about science and technology.
A cantilevered overhang shades the east side. Operable glass-façade panels open the cube to the green roof and outdoor landscape.
Just inside the cube’s exterior glass wall is vertically undulating bamboo wood “wrapper” inspired by traditional Korean basket weaving. This three-story interior wall creates a long, linear space between the double-skin façade on the north and west sides.
The glass façade of the cube, which “floats” as an independent structure, was custom-designed by the architectural team and shop-fabricated in Italy for on-site assembly.
A Restorative Site
The rocky, 27-acre site along the Palisades Parkway previously had been home to a bank processing center. It was covered by a sea of asphalt.
Blending the architecture with the landscape, the design preserves existing woodlands and wetlands while restoring much of the land to its natural habitat.
A feng shui master guided the design team on orienting the building to the southeast, stepping down toward the river.
The design integrates LG’s aspirations to build a world-class, sustainable headquarters in a park-like setting below the tree line of the historic Palisades.
– Kenneth Drucker, FAIA , Design Principal
Adding more than 1,500 trees (most of them mature) and 50 percent more green space to the site softens the ecological and visual impact of the development.
A large landscape buffer shields the buildings from the residential neighborhood to the south. An expansive green space faces the Hudson River.
If LG needs to expand in the future, there is room to add a third wing on the current site of the visitor parking lot, with bridges connecting to the existing buildings.
LEED Platinum Sustainable Design
Building an environmentally responsible headquarters was a priority for LG. The campus has achieved LEED Platinum-NC certification.
A series of glass planes wrap the steel-structure building, with horizontal louvers on the eastern and southern facades protecting it from glare and heat gain. A folded 'butterfly wing’ of additional horizontal louvers accentuate the main public entrance on the east side.
Sixty thousand square feet of LG solar panels on the western halves of each office wing and above the parking garage generate 30 percent of the electricity used on the site. With LG’s commitment to purchase green power for the remaining 70 percent, the facility is carbon neutral for electricity. The energy use intensity (EUI) was 58 percent lower than the AIA 2030 benchmark for a similar building.
Two acres of green roofs with native plantings run alongside the PV modules atop the office wings. Using every available portion of the roof for either PVs or plantings improves climate resilience.
Other sustainable strategies include restoring six wetlands, three native woodlands and a stormwater detention pond to reduce site runoff and collect stormwater.
This site adjacent to the Hudson River is on an important migratory path for birds. The design team followed Audubon Society guidelines for bird protection, including use of frit patterns on glass facades. Indirect site lighting, automatic shades and smart lighting systems alleviate light pollution.
LG’s people have access to electric vehicle charging stations and ample space for bike storage.
High-Performance Workplace
Based on LG’s minimalist design aesthetic, the understated interiors feature a neutral color palette with occasional pops of brand-related color.
The main building entry and dining areas have green walls inspired by Korean topographical patterns.
The modular, open-office floor plan includes a series of centrally located work cafes and meeting nodes.
Private offices are in the center, away from exterior windows. This enables daylight to reach deep into the space and offers views of the outdoors from most parts of the building.
The headquarters includes an executive floor with a boardroom.
LG’s technologies and systems are integrated throughout the campus. This includes digital signage displays, smart appliances, photovoltaic panels and HVAC systems. The team specified LG Hausys modular carpet tile and solid surface (HI-MACS) and quartz (Viatera) for millwork elements, counters and wall paneling.
