Technology-driven Company Office
Heritage Plastics in Atlanta, Georgia
This project is a 13,000 square foot facility comprised of corporate offices and laboratory space. The project involved renovations and additions to a dilapidated two story industrial building, transforming it into the corporate headquarters and testing laboratory for a local family owned company. The design focused on created a contemporary environment that symbolizes the values of a progressive, “technology-driven” company.
Both exterior and interior modifications to the existing building establish a work environment that facilitates collaboration through an open and connective plan that promotes communication and interaction between staff. The office level contains a gallery devoted to the display of Heritage Plastics’ operations and a second dramatic gallery for the display of taxidermy.
While the design changed the character and usefulness of the building, it also focused strategically on capturing and preserving the value inherent in the existing structure. This approach allowed us to create a radically new building while simultaneously conserving resources and capital by repurposing a decaying asset.
