Out of an industrial space, this project creates a home for a creative firm that designs, manufactures, and distributes children's clothing. This 22,000-square-foot corporate headquarters project is sensitive to the company's products while operating with a minimal budget.
A parade of colorfully articulated volumes reach towards the 20' high ceilings, and contain a variety of service functions. A contrasting multi-functional lattice creates an animated interior street which is both an aesthetic and functional means of organizing the space.
"The interior reflects the nature of the company." -Jury Comment
