Stormland

Situated in a landmark building in the heart of downtown Redwood City, this office for a prominent local developer serves as a lounge for collaboration. Massive brick walls were left exposed, revealing centuries of patina of past use as a hardware store, bank and laundry. The existing redwood ceiling was repaired and refinished and the floor was replaced with polished concrete. The plan is divided in two along the length of the building by a steel and leather-wrapped casework wall, with acoustically private offices and conference room occupying one half and lounge-like coworking, entertaining, and break room space occupying the other. Frameless glass permits light to pass freely between each half, while standing millwork storage modules subdivide the open area into discrete programmatic zones.
