Take To The Skies With Supernal\u2019s 3 California Locations<\/h1>\n\n\n

For Supernal, a startup electric-aviation company, RMW<\/a> created a campus spanning three separate California locations, Fremont, Laguna Canyon, and Waterworks, each tailored to its particular workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fremont\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Flying cars, or something like them, may not be as far away as you\u2019d think. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., startup Supernal, its name taken from the Latin for of the skies, is promising a \u201cmobility revolution\u201d via personal electric aircraft. It\u2019s a mission that resonated with RMW, an urban transportation\u2013savvy firm that had already designed headquarters for Uber when Supernal tapped it for a multipart project across California. The brief was for three new workplace sites\u2014dubbed Fremont, Laguna Canyon, and Waterworks\u2014geographically separate and functionally distinct but conceived as a single campus, with similar furnishings and finishes, so the transition from one to another would be seam- less, all led by RMW principal Stan Lew and senior designer Jenna Szczech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housed in a two-level former warehouse in Silicon Valley and dedicated to battery research and development, Fremont is the smallest facility, but still clocks in at an expansive 72,000 square feet. Since there were few windows, RMW took pains not to block any available natural light, creating what Szczech calls \u201cthe heart of the space\u201d: a capacious central hub that fluidly connects the ground floor to the mezzanine level\u2014the former for all-hands meetings, the latter for coworking\u2014via a symmetrical pair of bleacher-style staircases. Open-plan areas predominate, but enclosed spaces include a sequestered library with live plants behind glass on one wall and natural-cork acoustic tiles on the other, providing a quiet respite from the bustle outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
