manufacturer's technology laboratory
This
project was to repurpose 1,250 square feet of existing, underutilized space in
the manufacturer’s facility. The intended use of the space was for customer and
internal meetings, accommodating 1-20 users. The design needed to be an
acoustically controlled environment, separated from manufacturing floor, where
users can utilize a variety of presentation mediums to present their unique designs
to their clients. The space needed to be flexible in nature, fostering a
variety of presentation methods, able to highlight newly developed products to
clients, and serve as temporary workspace as needed all while maintaining
access to the outdoors and adjacent patio. Functional areas in the design
include a hospitality bar, finish material library/storage, tack board
presentation walls, video monitor presentation displays and a product storage
closet. The finishes needed to reflect the inviting and energetic nature
of the space, while still highlighting the cutting-edge nature of the work
being created by the client’s design team.
