What does it feel like? Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos SC Johnson’s Administrative Building and Research Tower in Racine, Wisconsin, have become legendary as corporate headquarters buildings. The Administrative Building’s Great Workroom is a stunning example of architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s unique approach to office design. But what did it really feel like? Vox’s Phil Edwards visited the HQ to find out — and try actually working there. He also visited the Hardy House, an earlier Wright design that features many of the same Wright signatures found in the SC Johnson building, from custom designed furniture to ideas about compression and expansion. Watch the video to see what it really feels like to work in such a space. Further Reading Jonathan Lipman’s book about Sc Johnson is one of the best-sourced and most comprehensive books about the building’s history. Mark Hertzberg’s exhaustive knowledge of the Hardy House — and his experiencing photographing it — is evident in his book about the building. His blog, Wright in Racine ( also has great facts and stories about Wright’s work. SC Johnson provides free tours of the Administrative Building as well as of Wingspread, a nearby home that Wright also designed.
