‘The Machine in the Garden’ was the seminal image of IBM’s new corporate headquarters.  Towers| Golde’s site design was pivotal to the successful realization of the dynamic balance between the man-made and the natural extending the aesthetic tension of building into the landscape.  The progressive forms of the building and its arrival court actively engage the preserved organic forms of the steep and rocky terrain and its woodland mantle.  T|G’s skillful site design and grading protect the site’s sensitive ecology and showcase its beauty. The project included a mile-long road system, screened parking for 635 cars, and numerous storm water management features.
