The guiding principle behind the design of NAM's fresh headquarters was to embrace minimalism in material choices while accentuating architectural nuances and maximizing natural illumination. The inclusion of walnut veneer adds a sense of luxury, and wall-to-wall photographs chronicle over a century of manufacturing history. Glass elements foster a sense of openness, linking internal areas and connecting inside and outside spaces. The new base prioritizes innovative work styles, streamlined communication, and economic efficiency.
