Washington Fruit & Produce Co.'s headquarters in Yakima was designed to be an oasis in a sea of industrial agribusiness and low brush landscape.
The 16,500-square-foot facility uses warm colors, little-to-no concrete, and a non-boxlike form. The design takes its cue from an aging barn, with a simple exposed structure and a tall window wall. The site was planned to minimize heat gain and the need for electric lighting.
The lunchroom has a kitchen and table for 30, creating a gathering space for weekly meals when field staff come in from the orchards.
