Blooms

Adobe recently expanded its San José headquarters to add a fourth new tower to their campus. The first all-electric building of its scale in Silicon Valley, Founders Tower, dedicated to their late co-founders John Warnock and Chuck Geschke, was designed as a place for employees to foster connection and create the future together, and for the local community to enjoy.

As part of the headquarters expansion project, a pedestrian bridge was designed and developed to be an eye-catching, imaginative experience, that seamlessly connects the new and existing three towers on campus and introduces a playful gateway to the city of San José. Blooms was inspired by the San José community’s agricultural history, the spectrum of color Adobe and its tools represent and the freedom they offer anyone to unleash their creative potential and imagination.

As one journeys across the bridge, they encounter the canopy of Blooms and become immersed in a surreal experience composed of tree sculptures, each with a unique spectrum of color and geometry that invites exploration and discovery. At night, the bridge lights up the San José skyline with vibrant hues, as colors emanate from the Adobe logo at street level, ascending to give energy to the “roots” that spread light and life across the bridge and “tree” overstory.

Blooms was completed in 2024 with the support of Adobe and is located at 333 West San Fernando Street in San Jose, California.
