Baird Wealth Management
Baird’s Seattle office does not look like its offices elsewhere, and that is deliberate. The 20,000 square foot workplace takes the wealth management firm’s national model and makes it particular to Seattle, drawing from the region’s light, landscape, waterfront, and tradition of making without turning them into decoration.
Framed views, layered materials, intimate workplace neighborhoods, and flexible gathering spaces give employees different ways to work while creating a warmer setting for clients to arrive and stay. Privacy remains fundamental to the business, but it is carefully calibrated with openness and hospitality so conversations can happen at the right level of discretion.
