SuperSure’s New Penthouse Office Space at the Wells Fargo Center Designed by Super Buddha
For much of the last half-century, corporate interiors were designed to disappear. The ideal office was efficient, neutral, and forgettable, a container for work rather than a participant in it. Visual restraint was equated with seriousness, and decoration was treated as a risk.
However, as companies increasingly need new reasons to motivate employees to come to the office, that philosophy has begun to collapse. Space is no longer expected to stay silent.
SuperSure’s collaboration with the artist Super Buddha for their headquarters in the penthouse of the Wells Fargo Center is a paradigmatic example of this new mindset.
The office’s main mural, where the words SUPER SURE stretch across a field of star motifs and layered affirmations, functions almost as a visual manifesto. The composition is exuberant yet intentional. It signals that the company values clarity, optimism, and a willingness to state its purpose with confidence.
Further into the office, the window line is flanked by a series of columns painted with tree imagery. The columns repeat at regular intervals, creating a consistent visual reference point as employees move through the space.
The tree forms introduce an element of nature into an otherwise modern, highly engineered environment, without altering the function of the corridor itself. Because the imagery appears repeatedly and predictably, it becomes part of the way the space is recognized and navigated, adding visual continuity rather than distraction.
As companies rethink the role of physical offices in a hybrid world, projects like SuperSure’s suggest a new model. The workplace becomes a medium through which culture is expressed continuously, not episodically.
