Wix Celebrates 20 Years With New Headquarters 

Wix, Tel Aviv, Israel

The software company just turned 20 years old, and its ground-up headquarters by HLW not only befits its longevity but also reflects its innovative ethos. Replacing Wix’s former mall-based warren is a 700,000-square-foot, human-centered campus of seven, 10-story buildings organized around “Wix Streets,” an internal thoroughfare that unifies the structures and encourages collaboration and spontaneous interaction among the more than 3,000 employees. Synchronizing with the Mediterranean Sea vistas visible through ample glazing are airy interiors marked by sun-washed pastels and warm woods. In the double-height lobby, vertical baffles form a hovering timber grid and a broad stairway doubles as amphitheater-style seating. Iridescent glass panels and rope light fixtures define team zones, with swaths of recycled pulp helping damper acoustics. Modular ceilings pair with demountable partitions so meeting rooms can swell or shrink as needed, without touching infrastructure. In typical tech fashion, amenities abound, with five restaurants, vegetable gardens, maker spaces, climbing walls, and an employee-run store among the perks. Another is the durable seamless flooring throughout, making the entire workplace dog friendly.
