Located in the now named Rail District in Birmingham, Mi in a warehouse space that used to be an old machine shop the space was fitted out on a budget using left over materials from previous projects and carpet tubes bound for the dumpster from the neighboring carpet store. The oil-stained concrete floor was painted over with epoxy paint and cement reinforced with corrugated cardboard was used for the workstations. The four pieces of a 4’ x 10’ discarded skylight were split and used as a dividing fin between workstations which sets up a rhythm of bouncing light through the space. 3-form remnants were cut and used to panel the corner from conference room to reception.
