Architectural & Interior Design
The design incorporates adaptive reuse principles, making use of the building’s strengths while emphasizing its original character (as a former industrial design studio for American Standard Plumbing).
Within the double-height open office space, the architects inserted a mezzanine structure with the look of a shipping container, composed of acrylic-coated corrugated aluminum walls.
Beneath the mezzanine is quiet office space; above is a “rooftop” collaborative area lit by LED pendants with acoustical fins. A bleacher-style seating grandstand provides access to this “upper deck” and serves as seating for office-wide meetings held in a “town square” zone, including a kitchenette and gathering space with lounge seating.
The company’s logo inspired the color palette of the brand-conscious design, which also appears in art film on the glass wall separating reception from the work zones – a feature introduced to hint at the activity beyond.
