Fast track - design process 11/98. Client moved 9/99.

Design: Client defined parameters of "modern, hi tech," we did the rest (CD's, FF&E and still facilities programming. There were 3 separate buildings in this early 1960's manufacturing building retrofit. We removed the skin and unified the 3 buildings. Gym and locker room space was converted into offices.

Pre-manufactuered metal panels were retrofit into a 1962 building; little margin for error.

We designed 3 different office layouts. They're using all 3.

Conference room cores were vertical spaces with surrounding cubicles and seats; nodes. These became meeting place and activity areas. Everyone can see in. Corridor is the connector to the parts.

We did not use typical colors. Gray-pattern carpet was free flowing. Tones of green were on the wall.

Incorporated aspects of feng sui: entrance was a curved red wall. Lots of glass for chi flow; it goes around. Blue/water tiles at the entrance.

FF&E: Furniture distributors and suppliers brought samples/books to us. We selected.

Still facilities programming.

We've gotten more work from them, tenant fit-outs for unused space at their headquarters.
