The introduction of elemental materials and sculptural day lighting define the palette for the new two-story office units. Long leaf pine, which was reclaimed from a 19th century textile mill, forms the two-inch structural wood deck ceiling, upstairs floor, and interior siding. Unfinished carbon steel forms a floating stair thread and railings while long leaf pine and black walnut millwork with glass panels form partitions to complete the interiors.
Upon completion, the buildings first occupants were bands of light filtering through wood louvers at the front façade, echoing the rigorous geometry of the interior and exterior. The tenuous reflections of sunlight from the windows float through the space, highlighting the beauty of pure material and form.
