This is a shot of the open office from the Stantec Architects offices that I showed yesterday. An intriguing feature of the space is that they installed a floating floor 18" above the original floor and have run all the heating and cooling ducts, voice lines, and data systems under the floor in order to leave the original Douglas Fir ceiling unencumbered by ductwork etc. You can see the space under the floor visible in the centre of the pic - they have installed glass panels on its edges so as to be able to see under. The office also has a bicycle garage and shower facilities for the workforce. It is a very 'green' space!
Very green and so cool!!!
ReplyDeleteNice place to work. ;-)
Interesting office space.
ReplyDeleteHad never heard of a "floating floor" before..."what will they think of next?"
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very good conversion of an old building. I wonder if it's a noisy space to work in? Lots of hard surfaces. Being deaf and wearing hearing aids, I notice that a lot.
ReplyDeleteThose ceilings would be pleasant in a work place. I like this building.
ReplyDeleteThose are solid looking timber beams! I'd like to work there, I'd spend all day looking at the beams. On second thoughts I better not work there, I wouldn't get anything done :)
ReplyDeleteNice lines!
ReplyDeleteNice space to work.
ReplyDeleteThey have done a spectacular renovation of this space. I wonder what you would have seen if you had the time to visit other open spaces on this tour.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the idea of a bicycle garage. Perfect!
ReplyDeletevery nice aesthetic. They do a nice blend of modern and restored work.
ReplyDeleteI bet working in that space is great. Wonderful light.
