Wendy’s International Headquarters
Dublin Ohio
Patrick J. Beam designed and executed this project as a Principal of Bassett Associates.
The central focus of the site design for Wendy’s Headquarters is the glass entry lobby with its related arrival court and aquatic gardens. Visible from the inside the two-story lobby, intimate walkways provide inviting connections through the gardens to the parking areas and other buildings. Limestone walls, reminiscent of the low walls that border fields and gardens in historic Dublin are used to line the entry drives and separate them from the parking. A variety of plant materials including Bald Cypress and River Birch was used near the water’s edge to emphasize the aquatic theme. Spring flowering Crabapples and blazing fall color of Maples and Euonymus provide dramatic seasonal beauty to the grounds.
