This old 50's era warehouse is adapted to include a large staging center for configuring Cisco telecommunications data servers for the big mobile providers. This space is the administrative area associated with multiple customer service departments. The existing concrete and terrazzo floor was saved and polished.
The volume of the space is expressed with new skylights placed over each specific area. The clouds provide scale and carry led lighting for the space. The lighting is controlled by light sensors so the more natural light coming into the space the dimmer the artificial lights become.
The curving red cylinder punctuates the space and encloses the break room and restrooms core. The multiple vertical openings are filled with clear glass to help control noise. The black systems furniture is temporary and will eventually be replaced.
