LAMBERT designed identifiable “centers” for each organization or department within the building's standards. Unique, fun spaces were created.
LAMBERT organized wayfinding systems in this large, open plan facility.
Wayfinding included distinct, bright colors in each bay which were mirrored in the signage to create continuity.
15 programatically-diverse departments relocated to Smith Warehouse
A variety of conference rooms (open and private) were provided within this unique space.
The building retained its timber columns and high ceilings. Materials with an industrial theme, along with accent lighting, were included with industrial type fixtures to pay homage to the building's historic function.
