232 N. Third Street Office - LEED Silver Certified Project
Located along a busy streetscape, the improvements of this third floor tenant space began with a complete renovation of an existing four-story building.
The 6,660 SF interior adaptive-reuse project presented a reasonable amount of obstacles, as well as found opportunities that both challenged and aided the overall design directives.
Developed as a part of the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for Commercial Interiors, the driving factors of the built space were to preserve and maintain a great deal of the existing components while adapting it to a new user group. Some of the key features that were influenced by the specific environmental and construction guidelines included the highly efficient lighting and mechanical systems, sustainable finish and furnishing selections, and the preservation of many elements relative to the set parameters of the existing building, such as exposed wood ceilings and tables fabricated out of salvaged heavy timber beams.
Complimentary to the newly constructed tenant space was the addition of a rooftop terrace. The terrace, easily accessible by elevator and stairway, included an interior common vestibule, ample deck area, and a spectacular city-wide view. This extension of the third floor served as both a supplemental gathering space and a constant connection to the surrounding urban landscape.
