Project Overview

The NOBULL US Headquarters is a workplace that embraces the lifestyle of people who work hard and don’t accept excuses. The HQ design approach embraces an active workplace, where movement is encouraged in many ways. The HQ also serves as a design, research, and training facility. In addition to apparel, NOBULL produces various forms of media that encourage active living, with podcasts and video production. The space celebrates effort, reveals the artifice of its making, and promotes creative engagement through activity and design. This is not an ordinary HQ; it is the embodiment of the NOBULL attitude.
