We heard what the architects think, but would love to hear what the people working there think of this design.

They’ve managed to design something that makes you feel lonely even when you’re with others Now that is talent

It literally looks like a mid 2000s airport terminal

There are an increasing number of studies that show that the risks of open plan offices outweigh the benefits. It feels more like an airport terminal than a place for concentration on a tricky technical problem.

Looks so big but feels like something is missing and empty.

odd that we never saw a single workplace

My dream is to never work in open offices again. I have yet to be in an open office that doesn't suck the soul out of you and leave you drained with a headache at the end of the day, I always end up using sitting with my AirPods Pro in my ears all day to get some peace and quiet time to focus on actually working. Not listening to music, just the rain "noise generator" to drown out the last part of chatter.

I feel like Modern workplaces all have one MO: 1. Angles 2. Depressingly modern 3. Very iittle actual workspace 4. Uncomfy weird chairs

Those are NASA references, not Star Trek references.

"the hi-tech roof removes noise" 4:51 almost yelling at each other with an awful background noise

Been beating myself up a bit that I sold my 53 shares of NVDA at $303 each back in May 2023. Now thinking of liquidating a few other investments to rebuy but afraid to do so. I also currently have 500k in savings making me next to nothing.

Well, this looks much like an airport, with lounges in different floors and opposite directions and terminals that are connected. The question is, if I go to the wrong direction for a meeting, it will take me 20 minutes to get to the other side, which is exactly the problem with airports. We went from cubicles to massive open spaces as if there's nothing in between. Most people would appreciate if they didn't randomly run across their C-levels while walking to a meeting or at the bar.

Soul crushing liminal space not unlike a drab mall or airport. Would love to hear what the employees who have to work there think.

Mr. Dahlgren's lack of blinking was kinda terrifying.

Honestly the colours and design feel kinda soulless, almost 1984-like

I have been buying their video cards since the beginning. I am now on my 4090. My name should be on at least one of those triangles.

When you want that airport experience without actually travelling...

This looks like a shopping mall

It's so obvious that this was written by Nvidia

The architect was explaining simulation of sun light like if this is brand new. AutoCAD Revit software did this for many years.

god these corporate videos are always so cringe. >you're saying the actual work that they then do together is better? (by seeing each other across the building) >absolutely, yes. Any source to back this up??? Trust me bro.

you need an app to know where the bathroom is. great design.

I literally did construction on this building and BOI LET ME TELL YOU.. SEEING THIS IN PERSON IS INCREDIBLE. It's a beautiful building. Definitely a unique format though, colorful throughout 2 trillion though 😮

Cool office. I’ll stick to remote work.

As someone who lives in Santa Clara the Nvidia building is one of the coolest I’ve seen in Silicon Valley. Love taking car pictures there

Looks very cool & I love the natural light & plant wall, but they need a space for the introverts & not just small rooms that you have to probably book. The open concept would drain me so much if I had to do that everyday.

I think working in an open office like this will distract people. Also people may feel awkward because there's no personal space. I mean if you just want 5 mins of relaxation, there's everyone watching waiting to judge you by your every moment.

Live 10 mins from the HQ. It’s amazing to look at when driving by everyday. Really competes with the space ship in Cupertino

nice place to visit once in a while but WFH is so much better for me.

Two things. Number one I've noticed that whenever a successful company starts focusing on a new headquarters building that's usually a sign that they have lost their way and are no longer focused primarily on their product and they usually do poorly in subsequent years. Number two if you built your company in all its success based on buildings that had cubicles you really shouldn't be looking for a different way. People may not think cubicles let people work together but most engineering success does not come from people working together. Most engineering success comes from individuals going off into quiet spaces that are their own without any distraction and thinking very deeply about a problem and tell a solution comes to them. Distractions and interactions with other people break that deep thought that is so necessary to resolve solutions for complex problems.

I'd be more impressed if it looked like a giant video card with massive fans on the roof, to better reflect their roots. Right now it just looks like a pair of alienware desktops with people instead of anime figurines in the window.

The bubble is going to blow up soon.

so they work in what is basically a giant school cafeteria? lol

2:45 *sound is reflecting somewhere imagine someone on the other side of the building going crazy of voices coming from nowhere

Leather jacket man never disappoints.

'More stairs than needed, elevators tucked away'. This sounds like those with disabiliries aren't welcome to collaborate..

It's a bit 1970s British office building crossed with Stansted Airport roof... Its like someone's tried to copy a Norman Foster building but with triangles. Was expecting more somehow.

Looks like a modern airport terminal

Everyone hates open office concepts. Try listening to the people.

These companies with open office space must think we're idiots if they think we'd be fooled by how that design makes work more collaborative and productive. This is nothing but a way for companies to have more control. Most introverts hate this and they're some of the smartest folks out there!

Welcome to Cyberdyne Systems

i remember driving by the area when the headquarters was still under construction, thinking just about how massive of a space they would end up hosting. crazy stuff. wish we could have seen some other spaces other than just the lobby though

Would love a tour of the chip design room.

I remember when we saw the first render of this office. Nvidia was so much smaller back then. They've executed incredibly, and this campus also looks incredible.

It has literally no soul. Looks like an airport and I can imagine, based on ly open space working experiences, that focusing on working could be very hard all day. Hard days and headaches will be the results for the working part.for the part who are walking around and managing next coffee it is a dream place

Just driving by these buildings on San Tomas makes you go, Wow!

Beautiful, would like to have seen the park in between the buildings.

This is dystopian future they see🤔

It’s so weird hearing these corporate speak words when looking at these kind of projects. What’s more important is to listen to real employees without a threat of penalty. I’m sure most of them hate these designs. I know I hate open offices. If I have to go to an office then I want my own space where I can personalize it and make it mine.

everyone's complaining about this not realizing nvidia still has toe best flexible WFH options, idc what my office looks like if I'm getting paid the amount they do with the benefits they get.

I used to work near there not long ago and would take a walk by the old buildings on the site. I have hard time now imaging how they managed to fit all this on that site.

And yet their Earnings Call sounds like a long distance phone call from the early 2000's.

One thing's certain, Nvidia treats their employees generously. I don't know how that's going to translate to their future stock price, but they've cornered the market for now.

An Architecture of the Nvidia Headquarters Facilities Project that is very exciting for its employees and futuristic for future Microship planning developed by the company. Opened in early 2022, the Santa Clara headquarters is an imposing 750,000-square-foot structure designed to enhance employees' performance in line with the company's vision. Hao Ko, the design principal on the project, told Business Insider that the idea for the office "is rooted in that idea that people do their best work when they are provided with a choice." "A successful workplace needs to be a destination and not an obligation, so designing a comfortable place that reflects a company's culture is also very important," Ko said. If Nvidia is interested, it could create another headquarter in Angola to create semiconductors for the global electronics industry. Thank you very much for your attention.!

Wow it’s not a dense office at all…I work by here…those dudes are rolling the dough this year…wish I bought more of their stock

4:29 Everything looks top notch, but why are there puddles?

Looks nice and open but it must take forever to get from meeting to meeting with such sprawl. 🤔

It looks like another world. There's something about seeing such innovative and breathtaking designs that inspires you and makes you feel like you really are part of the future.

You know, I could see this kind of building being used as a really fun convention center. And I don't mean just for things like comic-con; any big gathering really.

So much wasted space

It's like an airport lounge, I dont think that the roof tiles would dampen the noise well enough, all the people in the open spaces seem to be eating or having a coffee instead of working.

They should just build a big version of one of their parallel processors and put people inside it. They've obviously solved all the transport issues for electrons in the parallel processor and they need many people to do the same problem solving so it seems like a floor plan based on their parallel processor would be the best bet for productivity.

Wow! Most illuminating. Literally and figuratively! A Frisbee and biking and hiking park would be nice; with, a long sloping, meandering skateboard perimeter that terminates at an elevator or stairs to take you back to the top. And if you're going to have all of that might as well have a hang glider trebuchet also.

I would go nuts working there 😂

Nvidia, the buildings are Amazing and Green, but Please bring back the Woman that says the jingle - Nvidiaaaaaa! We All Need Her Back! 🥺🥺🥺

Also this is not office tour, this is simply showing the entrance of the office itself... Office tour means showing around the whole office. Check Kojima Studio tour for proper example.

"Elevators are tucked away".... great, a big thank you from everyone bound to a wheelchair.

Across the street from these two buildings are about eight very average looking Nvidia office buildings. I suspect that it is in the eight run-of-the-mill office buildings where most of the work is done.

Those are very fancy buildings, no doubt. But I wont envy their employees, their parking lots are pretty much full even after 7pm.

This looks like a dystopian hellscape. It could've been an unused set from Logan's Run.

I used to work at Nike WHQ and now I work at Amazon WHQ. This place looks way cooler than both

I used to work in Endeavor, it was my favorite office I've ever been in. Easy to navigate, tons of natural light, the sound mitigations the mentioned really work, and the sci-fi feeling really makes you feel like you're working on the future.

One question please! Is NVIDIA a safe buy to outperform the market this year? I'm tired of these new buys every week, just to make up some assets with low percentage on my $236k portfolio and try to keep everything around 10%.

Y'all need to read "A Comparison of Psychological and Work Outcomes in Open-Plan and Cellular Office Designs: A Systematic Review" from 2021, a meta study of over 10000 papers on the topic. To quote the authors: "open-plan workplace designs were found to be negatively associated with health, satisfaction, and productivity. Significantly, very few positive effects were found throughout the entire review, with not a single study measuring productivity finding a positive effect. Furthermore, the empirical evidence does not support the anecdotal claims of increased collaboration and communication between open-plan office workers."

waiting for layoff soon :D

You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K in a meme coin from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires.

The Architect mentioned that the elevators are "tucked away but they are there". Wow. What a way to not be inclusive to those who are in wheelchairs. Or heaven forbid you are in a cast from your recent ski trip and need to get up to the 2nd level. It was kind of interesting that wayfinding and signage weren't that prominent. If you are new to that campus, I bet it is going to be confusing to navigate those buildings.

Ever since he mentioned triangle, I can't help but feel like you're trapped in a low polygon game map with sharp edges everywhere and being forced to work

"Objective: Confront Yorinobu Arasaka" Looks sick!

Weird they didn't show a single office, looks horrifying

Did they record this on a 720p webcam ? 4:39

If I could have it my way I would have made the buildings look like giant graphics cards and the rooftop AC units would look like the cooling fans.

"3D graphics were originally based on drawing triangles" is giving major Sabre Pyramid vibes.

Simple question: do the directors and VP also sit there? I bet not. Seems like extremely inefficient workspace. I'd to see someone these people who design these things to sit there any work and lets see how much they can focus.

Feels so sci-fi, like the kind of perfectionist buildings we see in movies. The future is rapidly changing, and it is equally as exciting as it is scary.

Those tense eyes…

when the interviewer says the buildings are star trek references when its clearly NASA 🤓

4:25 bridge walls are unreasonably tall - to deter employees from jumping off?

I never liked open space. There is a lack of privacy and concentrating is hard. Best office layout: home office.

"hey bro, can we meet on this spot?" "sure i can walk there for 45 minutes"

This office complex is soo stunning

Is this an ad for Nvidia RTO?

In a triangulated space/building, many squared/cubed objects and 90-degree lines simply do not look nice. There are a lot of missed opportunities in this building, but undeniably nice on Google Earth.

1:10 "The triangle is everywhere." Illuminati confirmed.

Nvidians 😂😂 imbecility of corporations is infinite

wow the growth of Nvidia is astonishing

You know, I always keep driving past this place. If you look from the outside it looks pretty broad. When looking inside, it looks even worst lol.

Would be cool as a science museum, or an indoor rainforest.

The cameraman is awesome!

No other brands for our workstation GPUs. Reliable drivers, good performance.
