Celebrating the Puget Sound’s maritime history, this project revitalized warehouse that formerly housed the Jensen Motorboat Company. The redesign centers on the craftsmanship of the bygone era, showcasing unique design details, repurposed materials and artifacts that reflect the work of shipwrights and underscore the current work of one tenant: Emerald City Yachts.
The space was split into an open, yet clearly delineated private office area and a more public forum for company events. The large open conference room had a full operable wall that accommodated 50-75 person events to spill out into the lobby area. A separate, flexible workspace encouraged collaboration between staff members, with an open break out space for team work sessions. Tucked behind the minuscule kitchen, a private conference room allowed for smaller internal meetings and private conversations.
