1200 Intrepid Avenue is the first office building in the United States designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, and the architect’s first structure in Philadelphia. The four-story building is positioned to communicate and connect with the Navy Yard’s Central Green. Designed with intention to connect to the site and place, its curved east façade bows inward at the ground plane in a gesture reminiscent of the park’s circular running track, activity pods and planting vignettes; in contrast, its cornice remains straight and aligns with the original orthogonal street grid. In 2016, this building was awarded LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
