An antidote to the insular campuses still going up throughout the Valley, Intuit’s human-centered, urban-minded, deep green workplace anticipates a more sustainable, publicly engaged development pattern, while providing its community with a place of warmth, choice, and connection in the here and now.


Campus heart and gateway
Designed to be low, wide, connected, and flexible, Marine Way meets employees’ specific needs while fostering campus cohesion and creating interest along the street. Large floor plates are organized into human-scaled neighborhoods, offering spaces to collaborate, focus, socialize, and reflect, all linked by clear circulation pathways.
A vibrant atrium, accommodating up to 500 people, forms the heart of Marine Way and opens onto the campus’s main internal street. Amenities such as a café, bike facilities, living rooms, showers, and terraces enhance wellbeing and connect employees to nature and the public realm.
Marine Way and its neighbor, Bayshore, form a new gateway and center of gravity for the campus. A solid, textured ground floor, glassy upper levels, and a dynamic perimeter enhance the pedestrian experience. Extensive terraces with bay views help knit the campus together while helping to manage stormwater.
Design strategies enhance resource efficiency, expand the natural habitat, ensure good indoor environmental quality, reduce water consumption and waste, and enable the expanded use of transit options. Reflecting Intuit’s mission to empower small businesses and individuals, much of the furniture was purchased from small businesses, and local artists created the art and wind sculptures.
