Frank Gehry has hailed Facebook headquarters into its second expansion project. It’s only been three years since Facebook has moved to its home in Silicon Valley. But Gehry has added an extension to MPK20. The new expansion to the campus named MPK 21 took under 18 months to complete and features roof-top gardens, a dining area, and a 2000 person event space.

The ‘Bowl’ and ‘Townsquare’

The marked difference between MPK 20 and MPK 21 are the irregular saw-tooth rooftops that allow plenty of sunlight to enter the space. Along with this feature, Gehry has included a leveled garden tying both MPK 20 and MPK 21 together. The garden named ‘The Bowl’ features several outdoor seating areas separated by different levels. Space almost seems as if it’s a botanical garden. The area provides a non-traditional workspace within Facebook headquarters.  Another addition is the central courtyard called ‘the Town Square’ which features eateries and several amenities interspersed between redwood trees. Gehry has also added the main street to tie in the buildings together. This street leads to various restaurants and includes displays 15 art installations from the Facebook Artist in Residence Program. Courtesy Of Facebook
