Freddie Mac HQ 1 — McLean, VA

Hovering above the dynamic spaces of Freddie Mac HQ1 in McLean, Virginia, is a wood ceiling installation that speaks to both tradition and innovation. With the ceiling bending down the walls int the entry corridor, the Oak-Stained wood weaves an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication, envisioned by the creative minds at Interior Architects (IA) in Washington DC.

In the communal spaces, the woodwork draws together form, function, and aesthetics, casting an ambiance that encourages open dialogue and collaboration. It’s a design choice that reflects Freddie Mac’s commitment to creating environments that are conducive to sharing ideas and fostering professional relationships.

The same wood installation transitions into the executive areas, carrying its distinctive elegance into the realms of decision and direction. The Standard Oak stain of the grille against the backdrop of modern furnishings and strategic lighting creates a compelling narrative—one of legacy and forward-thinking, of grounding and aspiration.

At Freddie Mac HQ1, the wood ceiling in the entry corridors stands as a testament to the seamless integration of design elements that are not only visually appealing but also enhance the overall functionality and flow of the workplace.
