He also designed a Facebook’s office in Menlo Park. The roof was literally a park, seemingly blending with the bay and you could go for a nice nature stroll mid-day by just going up a flight of stairs. https://arquitecturaviva.com/works/facebook-campus-in-menlo-...

I worked in this building. It was terrible. Low light, completely open office, people walking around you all the time, extremely noisy, pretty ugly (the roof-top garden was the exception). My team expensed noise cancelling headphones because it was so loud.

MPK 22 was also designed by Gehry Partners, which was a massive improvement on the inside, but outside is still kinda terrible in my opinion: https://www.truebeck.com/project/facebook-mpk-22/

Not surprising to hear. I mean Gehry has always been more flair than quality. His studio has probably weakest execution from all of the star architects. But it's a great brand i guess thats why you hire Gehry.

I mean, having been in that building a few times, and working on the other side of the street, it's pretty clear the reason that building is such a disaster is that the architects did what the clients asked for. I like to give Gehry the benefit of the doubt, maybe that's cause he guest starred on Arthur. But you can only tell the client they're dumb and their building will suck to be in so many times before you just go ahead and let them have their hellscape.

The roof was pretty nice though.
