Weyerhaeuser's corporate headquarters building—often called a "skyscraper on its side"—is composed of a series of gently sloping landscaped terraces. These terraces sweep across the building and merge with the site on either side. As the landscaping on the building’s terraces has matured, the ground cover has tumbled over the side and the building seems to disappear, becoming one with the land.
