- Current Phase: Design Development
The development of this 12,000 sf warehouse began with the conceptualization of two separate buildings; a main woodshop for KLM and a supplementary leasing space for growing businesses. The length and narrow nature of the lot presented constraints in designing a long, solid building. Through further development, the need to combine these two building to one, greatly exhaseurbated the need to implement a concept where the massing was broken down. As a design solution, we created undulating divisions within the building face, which created subset areas that decreased the feel of long, flat elevation. The inverted colors on the recessed portions fortifies the “breaks” in the building, adding depth and independence from one portion to the next. The innate rhythm found in concrete masonry units provides pleasing spatialization between material masses, and building voids in the form of fenestrations. Incorporation of wood spandrel panels at specific locations of the building also celebrate the parameters of what the building’s intent and services are.
