About this episode

Cherise discusses the BAHA Hybrid Office project with Paul Cooper and Amy Stock, focusing on adaptable workplace design.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Paul Cooper, AIA, LEED AP, DBIA, Principal, and Amy Stock, NCIDQ, LEED GA, Associate – both at TEF Design in San Francisco, California. They discuss the Bay Area Headquarters Authority (or BAHA) Work Adaptation, also in San Francisco. You can see the project here as you listen along. Following the initial workplace build-out of the Bay Area Metro Center, the BAHA Hybrid Office represents a continued investment in adaptability—an evolution shaped by changing work patterns rather than a fixed end state. Through workshops and stakeholder engagement, TEF gathered insight into daily workflows, uncovering opportunities to better align the environment with how people actually use it. This collaborative process informed the development of a “Kit of Parts”—a flexible system of spatial strategies that could be deployed, rearranged, or expanded over time.
