Lighting, not just furniture and finishes, varies across the floors. Sure, you can hear them saying, no problem.
SKYLAB STUDIO JOSHUA TREE HOW TO
It was up to the designers to figure out how to pack the wonder of landscapes like Joshua Tree and Yosemite into the 132,269 square feet of office space spread across six floors of a midrise downtown building. When Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield approached Studio O+A to design his company’s new San Francisco headquarters, he talked about wanting a design that would embrace the natural beauty of the West Coast, from the Cascadian forests of his youth to the California mountains where he loves to hike.
Dappled overhead lighting on the forest level (Garrett Rowland). Seating arrangements on the forest level were based off of "fairy circles." (Garrett Rowland). Chairs from Tolix are paired with a Magis table in a flexible space on the waterfall floor. Although every floor has a distinct theme, all of them feature simple, casual furniture and lots of plants. Cushions from Ferm Living soften a custom seating area with millwork by Commercial Casework Inc. Geiger Crosshatch Chairs and a Muuto Outline Sofa give this informal meeting space a relaxed, camp-like vibe. Planterworx planters on the desert floor hold a variety of succulents. Studio O+A didn’t just match furniture and finishings to each floor’s ecological theme-they matched the plants, too. The organic curves in furniture from Normann Copenhagen and Bolia keep the spaces feeling soft and comfortable. The top floor’s forest theme embraces warm wood surfaces and dreamy green textiles. Mater Low Stools by Space Copenhagen and chairs from the Inheritance Collection by Stephen Kenn reference the spines and muted colors of cacti. An informal work space on the second floor evokes a starry desert sky with a constellation of Lumenalpha cylinder luminaires. The sound of The Spiral Electric is one part soaring melody, one part face-melting guitar, one part orbiting synth, one part danceable groove and a heavy dose of west coast psychedelia, shaken not stirred. It will be followed by tour and festival dates and a double-vinyl edition. The Spiral Electric’s new self-titled double-LP was produced by Steve Kille (Dead Meadow) and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Ian Brown, The Mars Volta), and was released on CD March 29th 2019. New rhythm section Michael Summers (bass) and Matias Drago (drums) join the core duo of Nicolas Percey (lead guitar) and Clay Andrews (vocals, guitar, keyboards) to crank up the tempo and push the volume beyond the Spiral Electric’s previous limits. The heavy touring has transformed the band from the loose, jangly vibe of their earlier work into a darker, heavier sound. On the performance side of things, the band has toured up and down the US west coast playing shows at notable venues like Slim’s in San Francisco, the Catalyst in Santa Cruz, the Star Theatre in Portland, and at festivals like Starry Nites (with artists like The Kills, Black Mountain, & Lumerians), Desert Stars (with Swervedriver, Dead Meadow, & Entrance Band among others), and the Portland Psych Fest (with Spindrift, The Asteroid #4, the Veldt, and more).

The Spiral Electric began in San Francisco as a psychedelic guitar duo consisting of Clay Andrews (vocals, keyboards, guitar) and Nicolas Percey (lead guitar), almost immediatey expanding to a full band and releasing two EPs- "Upon Your Shore" in 2015, and "Ask the Sky" in 2016, both produced by Tommy Dietrick at his Skylab Studios in Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, CA.
