Array Technologies is a global provider of utility-scale solar tracker technology, and with demand for solar utility expanding, Array was ready to do the same. In line with their vision for environmental impact, they asked PDO to design their new offices in the new, LEED certified Chandler Viridian building.

PDO created an environmentally friendly space that gives Array opportunities to let their products and values shine, such as using solar panels as a room divider to express their product in the space. The office and common spaces marry industrial finishes, such as concrete floors and metal mesh ceiling panels, with a natural warmth from reclaimed wood and earth-toned fabrics. Switchable glass at the conference room provides privacy when the room is in use, and views from the lobby when empty. Thoughtfully placed LED lighting strips and oversized bulbs add an unexpected pop of brightness and color to the space.

We were able to showcase the client's solar panels as a room divider in the break room and switchable glass at the conference room gives the space a technological edge.
The mix of warm woods and pops of color helped tie together the transitional aesthetic the client desired.
