2fORM Architecture relocated to a new office in 2007 and subsequently embarked on an in-house design project to remodel and personalize our new space. The building had previously been converted from an automotive garage into an open office, however the potential of the space had not yet been realized, especially with regards to daylighting and activity zoning within the large open volume.The key component of our design solution for this space was the construction of a freestanding conference room. This not only provided a meeting area, but it also serves to divide the office into 3 distinct zones: public/entry, semi-public/reception/conference, & semi-private/studio workspace. The adjacency of the conference room and the reception counter creates an implied entry threshold without blocking light or views through the office. The conference room is nearly as open as it is closed, comprised of 3 fixed panels and 3 sliding panels. This allows for maximum flexibility, as it can be closed for client meetings, but also opened and used as overflow workspace. Rarely are electric lights necessary, due to the amount daylight borrowed from large glass garage door at the front of the office. The boards used for framing are reclaimed bleacher seats that were planed down and refinished. The original square fastener holes remain visible in all of the boards and the salvaged metal badge naming the bleacher manufacturer remains as a conversation piece.
