motor1 Office, Detroit

Challenge: Can we design, fabricate and install a slick office setting for an up and coming moto journal while paying homage to the Packard Plant just across the tracks?

Challenge accepted: We were given a lot of freedom on this project, but not a lot of time. We designed around a raw motif of wood and steel. Strong lines are contrasted with flexible spaces for working and for storage. We built a custom conference table, storage cubbies and shelving. We made the most of our fabrication abilities by building most everything in the shop before hand. When it was time to install, we came prepared and transformed the space over the course of weekend. Friday it was empty box and on Monday it was a hip start up.
