I photographed the completed Upward Sports headquarters, a commercial office project designed by GPN Architecture and built by Roebuck Buildings. The 8,361-square-foot facility balances everyday office needs with places where people can work together.

What stood out to me was the openness of the interior. Rather than feeling divided into many small, closed-off rooms, the building has an inviting flow. High ceilings and daylight help the central spaces feel comfortable and connected, and the interior colors and finishes give the office a warm, polished character.

My goal was to photograph that experience, not just the individual rooms. The images move from the building exterior into its open workspaces, meeting and training rooms, shared amenities, and branded details, showing how the architecture works as a whole.

01 / Interior Architecture

Open spaces that invite collaboration

The central spaces, natural light, and open sightlines give the headquarters a welcoming character. The lobby, staircase, shared office areas, and branded details show how the interior combines identity with an inviting flow.

02 / Purpose-Built Interiors

Spaces for meetings, training, and everyday connection

Beyond the open central areas, the headquarters includes dedicated places to meet, present, and take a break. The conference room, blue-seated training room, café-style collaboration area, and employee kitchen each serve a different purpose.

03 / Exterior Architecture

A finished building, photographed two ways

I created a twilight-inspired finish in post-production for the lead exterior photograph, although it was not captured at twilight. The daylight view below provides a complementary look at the building’s shape, entry, and architectural materials.

Architectural photography should help viewers understand both the design and what it feels like to be there. At Upward Sports, I paid particular attention to the open sightlines, natural light, welcoming furniture arrangements, and cohesive interior palette.
