Designing for designers can be one of an architect's greatest challenges. This textile design studio is an "imaginative, refreshing workplace," in the words of the jurors, who admired the contrast of rough and refined as well as the custom-designed furniture. The 150-year-old commercial textile mill wanted a new image that would strengthen customer relations and convey the mill's long legacy and new direction. The light-filled studio is organized into quadrants, with two for textile designers, one for meetings and presentations, and one for foodservice and hospitality.
