Gensler designed Etsy’s new Brooklyn Headquarters keeping as a focus point their culture of treating “Code as Craft.” The theme reinforces the celebration of making from end-to-end — spanning across both analog and digital space.

Blurring the lines between workplace and habitat, the design aspires to be a fully independent, regenerative ecosystem that sets a bar for a more dynamic interpretation of sustainability. Through its materials story — sustainable and local— and its green embrace with nature permeating the space, the headquarters advances the ecologically-conscious potential at all levels.

The entire building serves as the narrative to Etsy’s history. The makerspace provides opportunities for practicing, teaching and learning the art making on a daily basis. The workspace brings employees closer to nature with greenscaping, terraces and garden libraries. From the reused wood of the water tower that used to top the building to the solar panels on the roof terrace the commitment to reuse, authenticity and shared community is very strong.
