1 Project Description: An overarching directive from the client was to not just represent their typical corporate culture, but to also reflect the areas in which their business operates. Located in San Bernardino, California, this facility served as a opportunity to push the design of the client s prototypical building design and incorporate new exciting and innovating building practices. Building Area: 19,500 SF A5.01 The new facility upgrades the client s typical office exterior and interior to a creative, dynamic, and vibrant spaces that mirrors not only the spirt and synergy of the company, but also captures the essence of San Bernardino. One of the major factors in incorporating the location was embracing green building practices. These practices, which were not only a code requirement of the area, were directly expressed, via the client, to be incorporated into the overall design of the facility.

2 A5.02 The main exterior cladding, insulated metal panels, serves a dual purpose. The first was aesthetic, with its sleek metal panels and towering expanse of glass to reflects the technology industry that is booming in San Bernardino. The second was to help achieve higher R- values to reduce mechanical loads and life-cycle costs. The pop of color from the blue metals panels also reflects the vibrant and quirky community that is flourishing under this technology boom.

The horizontality of the of the sun shades also harkens back to the beautiful mountain vistas that surround this property while providing reflected and filtered light and eliminating much of the solar heat gain and glare.

SECOND FLOOR PLAN The public and support spaces, including the breakroom, are shared between the office and shop employees are centrally located between the administration and production wings. This encourages interaction between all employees on a daily basis. OFFICE SHOP MEZZANINE FIRST FLOOR PLAN SUPPORT

5 A5.05 The interior of the facility merges the industrial nature of the client s corporate identity with the architectural language prevalent with the region. In the lobby, the team used native redwood as a warm invitation to guests and employees. Large expanses of curtain-wall allow the incorporation of the picturesque landscape surrounding the facility as a major component of the interior design.

6 A5.06 The breakroom has always played a key part in the company s mantra: employee interaction away from the rigidity of the workspace. Creating a bistro-like feel using cool blue hues helps to create an oasis within the center-point of the building.

7 A5.07 While relatively rectangular in nature, the ceiling offered an opportunity to contrast against the rigidity of the workstations above the artists and account executives. The layering of lights and custom-shaped acoustical panels reflects back to the old-school methods of the companies founding graphic artists: pens, moleskin notebooks, and colored canvases.

8 A5.08 Situated in the second floor corner of the building, the conference room takes advantage of the northern sunlight and views through daylight harvesting and complex lighting controls. Native California redwood climbing the wall and extending overhead mimics the Sequoia tree canopies that draw thousands of visitors to the state per year.

9 A5.09 Like all of the protypes, the production shop serves as a major portion of the building. While requiring durability and maintenance-friendly materials, the shop is the life-blood of the operation. By incorporating color with the structure and equipment, it was brought to life and carries the dynamic and vibrant atmosphere of the office into this traditionally functional area.

This highlighting of a typically concealed component of the architecture reminds employees to continually look at traditional things in new ways.
