This new executive office floor for a well-known global clothing brand is a delicate balance between the detail of the existing industrial space and the highly refined insertion of the new architecture. Offices are lined with Makore wood walls that float one foot away from the exterior facade clearly distinguishing between the raw architecture of the building and the new millwork walls. The interior millwork volume of the kitchen, with the dramatic red metal table, acts as the heart of the floor with offices on both sides. The demising wall to the offices is a custom-made blue steel and glass wall. The straightforward plan layout is in stark contrast to the dramatic use of color and materials.
Working with the Swedish designers Christian and Ruxandra Halleröd, HS2 Architecture was the executive architect.
