Lucasworks! Office Renovations
2012
This 5,500 sq. ft. single story existing building was re-designed by Passa Architects to be the new home of Lucasworks!, a local job recruitment agency. The existing structure was a former office, work space and storage garage for a general contracting company. The revised interior space incorporated a majority of the existing storage garage into the new corporate office space required by the client. The entire design is inundated with steps, jogs and interior glazing that enable the occupants to quickly realize the uniqueness of the space they are within. Existing skylights in the former garage were included in the redesign for both the practical introduction of daylight into the core of the building and to create focal points of interest by the creative use of drywall bulkheads and high windows sharing the borrowed light while maintaining acoustic separations. The interior partitions define the spaces as required by the client with the use of glass, daylighting and varying heights of ceilings throughout creating openness while the selected colour scheme offers a sense of warmth in a professionally sensitive manner.
