The client had a vision of using shipping containers to add office space, restrooms, and conference space to this large warehouse. As this is a leased space, we focused on reducing permanent impact to the base building. Our design team incorporated modified shipping containers for warehouse floor staff offices and conference rooms so that they can be relocated to a new lease space when needed. Another non-permanent design feature is incorporating ceiling-mounted projectors that project information on the ground in lieu of traditional painted markers or stickers. Separate paths of travel for forklifts and pedestrians and flashing stop signs and warning signs will be projected at points of intersection.   

Special attention has been given to employee mental health by providing a fitness center with weights, cardio machines, full private locker rooms with showers, and by preserving the natural light from the base building clerestory windows and skylights. The design looked for ways to reduce permanent impact to the base building.  

We served as the prime design firm, providing planning, programming, architecture, and interior design services.
