Architect William Burkhardt's description of the Terrace location:

"The plan is designed around the concept of the central street, which utilizes a serpentine circulation path for interoffice travel.  The street/path is both a device for office efficiency and to stimulate interaction between employees.	Serpentine Hallway
Reception Area

Primary functional spaces such as copy areas and coffee bars are directly connected to it, as are executive offices -- this latter is consistent with Vignette's corporate philosophy, which reverses the traditional office hierarchy by locating employee spaces along the exterior wall.  Also, by locating the spaces requiring walls in the center, the appearance of openness is maintained; space itself functions as a unifying element, again consistent with the corporate philosophy.

	In addition, a variety of space is created by contrast, which in turn avoids the potential monotony of an open office environment.  The sloped walls reference the corporate logo [the "V" in Vignette], as do the colors.

Finally, lighting is used throughout as a design element, to unify, to highlight, and to create a sense of motion."
