The John Deere World Headquarters built in Moline, IL was designed by Eero Saarinen and the landscaping was designed by Hideo Sasaki. The project was officially completed in 1964 by Kevin Roche after Saarinen's death. This exquisite piece of architecture is used as an office space and museum, and is the main center for Deere & Company.

Interior Design
West Office Building
This office space is characterized by its plant-filled atrium and glass roof designed to resemble a barn. The allowance of natural sunlight and use of stone steps creates a feeling that one is outdoors, perhaps even walking a long a trail next to a river.
