For Hilti, culture and brand identity are deeply connected to how the company works. Built around the values of integrity, courage, teamwork, and commitment, Hilti’s North American headquarters in Plano was designed to create an environment that reflects those principles while empowering its people to connect and collaborate. Following the successful completion of Hilti’s product testing and repair center, Pacific Builders was selected once again to partner with Hilti and Gensler to bring this vision to life. More than 26,000 modified Hilti products were woven into the architecture, and the entire office was constructed using Hilti tools and materials—making the workplace a true expression of the company and its work. A custom exposed structural steel staircase serves as a centerpiece, incorporating a unique collaboration “pit,” while exposed ceilings, high-performance acoustical treatments, and custom architectural elements reinforce the innovative design. Delivered on an aggressive schedule, the headquarters earned an AIA Built Design Award and became another milestone in Pacific Builders’ long-standing relationship with Hilti.
