Has anyone seen any interesting site offices for use during and after construction? Rather than the typical portacom, fridge panel, container construction, something more thoughtful with a design edge.
Possibly could also be used as a showroom for marketing pusposes, an onsite drawing office etc, etc. I keep thinking of Morphosis' office in Santa Monica, but this needs to be temporary [up to 5 years on site],
let me ask you a question - and its an actual question, not ball bustin' : why do you think that the site office must be something with more of a "design edge"?
The reason is that the site office will be more than a site office. It is a combined office for admin, construction team, drawing office, and on site sales. It is located on a greenfields site, between 2 separate building sites on a very busy road and consequently highly visible. So we cant just plop on a standard rickety portacom.
Here's an etiquette question for you: Is it rude to the GC to refer to the weekly site meetings / progress meetings / owner meetings / coordination meetings as "trailer meetings"? As time goes by, I feel less and less comfortable with using this term...
Good Site Offices
Hi,
Has anyone seen any interesting site offices for use during and after construction? Rather than the typical portacom, fridge panel, container construction, something more thoughtful with a design edge.

Falls into the realm of prefab.
