A manufacturing warehouse in Union City is transformed into a bright new office space for a retail display company, Rapid. The design brings users in through a common lobby, surrounded by display showrooms and a dramatic, eight-foot deep skylight box. A central path, marked by bamboo slatted walls, custom planter boxes, and parted ceiling clouds, leading users to a variety of collaborative workspaces.
Mini conference booths are scattered throughout the space for informal meetings within the busy workplace. Slatted ceilings are included for ventilation, and allow natural light to spread along the bamboo interior walls.
