Make is a new creative workspace designed to fit the community that surrounds it. Because location is more than an address, it's a lifestyle.
Make is a place where businesses can come to fully immerse themselves in the culture around them. Located in Carlsbad, CA, the 175,000 sq. ft. workspace was converted from a floral trade warehouse. Make exists to celebrate the flavor of a community and reflect it with the same style that attracted businesses to this area in the first place. Rapt Studio built the experience from the ground up including strategy, naming, identity and architecture.
Rapt wanted to establish a place where creative companies could thrive. With a close attention to detail and design of the surrounding environment, companies will find it easy to slip right in, making only minor adjustments to fit their brand. The next generation of employees occupying these spaces expect amenities, so the workspace is equipped with onsite showers, a gym, a café, an outdoor amphitheater, greenspace and a shuttle bus-all within a 5-minute bike ride to the beach. So your business walks into a set stage for your productivity. Rapt also collaborated with Salt Surf and Linus Bike to provide shared equipment housed in reclaimed shipping containers, and commissioned artist Jason Woodside to paint a vibrant mural.
The result is a space that reinforces the culture of the community and the people that inhabit it.
