The goal was to renovate a non-descript 1950’s
warehouse into offices that reflect the
personality of the R.B. Akins Company, an HVAC equipment and service company.
We chose to create a full building showroom where all the normally concealed
mechanical equipment is revealed and celebrated. The HVAC equipment
that is revealed includes ducts, grilles, copper pipe, louvers and more. Their
products are proudly displayed, celebrated and treated like sculpture. The public
spaces become unique and memorable for visitors.
