On the way down to #VCFEast from the airport I stopped at the old Bell Labs building designed by Eero Saarinen. It’s been repurposed as a work/play/shop space and it’s really nice. It’s great that this amazing space is open to the public. As a design/architecture nerd and fan of the show Severance which is filmed here, I’m totally geeking out.

The reception area of the building, which is in a section sunk down into the floor a few feet. It’s lined by padded couches upholstered in green leather atop granite.
Glass tubular elevators inside the building. All the metalwork is painted black. A fountain is below.
