Ottobock U.S. Headquarters
Ottobock’s U.S. headquarters in North Austin is a bold reflection of its German heritage and pioneering spirit, seamlessly blending with the city’s laid-back energy. Perched atop a modern office building, the space is designed for agility—where form, function, and innovation come together to push the boundaries of mobility solutions.
Clean, flowing surfaces echo the human form, inspired by Ottobock’s Berlin roots and signature mannequins. Prioritizing accessibility and well-being, the office is bathed in natural light, with floor-to-ceiling glazing that enhances efficiency and air quality.
Beyond workspaces, the environment sparks collaboration and creativity. A sculptural product showroom and vibrant social hub, anchored by a locally crafted 30-foot pecan table, bring people together. A raised floor system allows for flexibility, while exposed concrete ceilings make a modern statement. Every detail embodies Ottobock’s mission: "Moving the world forward through mobility, health, and innovation."
