Amazon build new corporate headquarters in downtown Seattle — and the design is turning heads.
The structure, a series of globes designed by the firm NBBJ, is designed to be environmentally friendly using recycled energy to heat its offices. With a "district energy" heating system, the dome-shaped building will use recycled heat from neighboring buildings.
The project's first phase — finished in late 2015 — included a high-rise named Doppler, and a space for employees to hang out. The building is expected to be completed in 2018, according to NBBJ.
The building also recycles energy through water pipes and enables Amazon to heat more than 3 million square feet of office space, part of Amazon's sustainable initiatives and environmental efforts.
