The Tennyson

Located in the heart of Plano’s fastest growing corporate business parks, The Tennyson, matching its adjacent Parkway’s name, is a 266,000-square-foot office campus that had recently changed ownership. Our commercial interiors team was brought in to help breathe new life into the two-building complex.   They transformed the linking ground floor lobby into a tenant lounge and created additional gathering spaces outside for a seamless connection. 

Our design centers around birds on a wire, emphasizing tension applied through materials, angles, and perspective. Various types of wood and stained concrete flooring paired with hipster-style furniture and textiles promote an eclectic feel. Exterior upgrades from our landscape architecture team, such as a covered path from the garage, canopy-covered seating areas, and a container bar with food trucks, providing the opportunity to gather and play with continuous access to Wi-Fi, shade, and power. Other new amenities include a café serving healthy, local food, as well as indoor/outdoor fitness areas offering exercise equipment. An unexpected destination includes the speakeasy, an after-hours social room accessible only through a swinging door that doubles as a bookcase to maintain its clandestine namesake.

The redesigned campus is now more equipped than ever to serve as a desirable base for today’s office worker.
