Bamboo Detroit’s second location that offers coworking space, private offices, and event spaces. The project was an adaptive reuse of a historic retail and furniture store into a new community hub of innovation and collaboration. The original atrium stair did not meet current building codes, enabling the design to reconfigure the common area into an
auditorium stair stacked above a presentation platform. In section, two events can happen simultaneously atop one another of dramatically different topics - reinforcing the flexibility and convergence of ideas.

The design team custom fabricated a pair of Tyvek installations to define dedicated coworking and illuminate the central circulation. The skeleton frames and Tyvek were digitally fabricated from a 3D model with a CNC knife cutter for accurate component production. All panels were created in the shop and installed on site during furniture installation. At a smaller scale, the design team also designed a custom WorkWall partition to create safe separation
between workstations that doubles as a moveable dry erase board for notetaking and brainstorming.

Indirect lighting arrayed throughout the basement illuminates a previously dim space and the Tyvek light installation in the stairwell mimics a skylight for additional illumination. The previously underutilized sidewalk vault is converted into meeting rooms to increase the usable square footage.

The design process began with a series of space planning rules and a design decision guide. These parameters became the translation of customer experience from the business model to the built environment.
