The new innovation hub is housed in an existing tilt up construction warehouse. The 21,000 square foot co-working space includes open work areas, two shared kitchens, meeting spaces, private offices and a large gathering and presentation area for events.
Wood slatted screens are carefully choreographed throughout to delineate space while maintaining an expansive feel. The rhythm and spacing of the slats are tuned to vary porosity and visibility according to program needs.
Roll-up garage doors allow various spatial configurations. Here is one of two shared kitchens within the space.
Material integrity is expressed through exposed rafters, concrete floors and walls, and large steel structural elements throughout.
Fully glazed meeting rooms are organized in a matrix forming a box-within-a-box configuration. The transparency ensures even, subtle northern light. Circulation lies within the interstitial space between the boxes.
