As is a consistent throughout all of Urban Studio’s designs, sustainability and conservation were of paramount concern throughout the tenant improvement process. The design maintains the structure of the 1940s bowstring trusses and brick warehouse along with stripped down and polished concrete floors.

The centerpiece is the ‘The Cube’ that serves as a screening room, two editing rooms and a central IT/Server room for the entire office. Using natural lighting paired with efficient lighting design, the space incorporates natural woods and clean colors to create a vibrant and natural aesthetic.
