Located at the Public Market complex in Emeryville, this renovation of a two-story, 17,350 square foot space was a complete transformation of the existing build-out.  The space was completed gutted and repurposed, from a dated athletic club to modern offices for a book publishing and communication services company.  The central staircase was retained, creating a visual connection between the two floors, which were left mostly open with glass walled meeting rooms on the perimeter.  Both floors have exposed brick walls and the first level features an open kitchen/break area, that also serves as a central gathering space.   Natural light flows abundantly into the second floor through banks of skylights and exposed wood trusses.
