Poject Details

Sedgwick Rd., a Northwest advertising firm, looking for a departure from their traditional office interior, leased new space in the historic Star Machinery building. Our first day on the job, we raced to the site to inventory the parts scheduled for demolition. Steel I-beams, first-growth wood beams, original wood doors and windows, aluminum light fixtures and a steel crane—all slated for demolition—were documented and stored until we knew how they would be used in the final design. The solution is an assembly that builds upon the 100-year-old patina.
