>>As a headquarters the architectural team will want to make a “statement” of their cutting edge creativity and that will make it a huge mess to a great degree.
A guy in charge of roof maintenance for a major corporation once told me — the bigger the architect, the worse the roof leaks.
My favorite architect (true) story.
The architect was the one who placed the order for the bricks for a ten story building facade. They were to be delivered in two shipments.
When the first shipment showed up he realized that he had accidentally chosen the wrong color.
He did a quick redesign and had the brick facade with two different brick colors.
It actually looked pretty good when it was done.
