虽然选定的原始空间并不大(1100 S.F.)，但它提供了高高的天花板、一个阁楼和一个大型玻璃店面。许多低隔墙工作站、一个私人办公室、一个会议区域和一个小厨房被仔细放置在里面，以最大限度地发挥功能和日光渗透，同时提供空间感兴趣，促进交流。考虑到空间的大小和计划的数量，材料调色板被保持在最低限度，特别注意绿色和可回收材料。

While the selected raw space was not large (1,100 S.F.), it offered high ceilings, a mezzanine, and a large glass storefront.  Numerous low partition workstations, a private office, a conference area, and a kitchenette were carefully placed within to maximize function and daylight penetration while providing spatial interest with a flow that fostered communication. Given the size of the space and the amount of program, the materials palette was kept to a minimum. Particular attention was given to green and recycled materials.

回收的道格拉斯杉木用于隔墙、入口墙和悬臂楼梯。工作站柜台是回收的纸板。软木瓷砖用于会议区、浴室和小厨房。没有为所有墙壁和天花板选择VOC涂料。每个工作站都有独立控制的散热器，而不是传统的暖通空调系统。这个空间的焦点是一堵混合植物的活墙，进一步过滤。

Reclaimed Douglas fir was used at the partitions, entry wall, and cantilevered stair. Workstation counters are recycled paperstone. Cork tile was used in the conference area, bathroom, and kitchenette. No VOC paints were selected for all walls and ceilings. Energy efficient fixtures were selected and instead of a traditional HVAC system, each workstation has an independently controlled radiator. The focus of the space is a living wall of mixed plants that takes filtration a step further.

这些植物被贴在与风扇相连的穿孔不锈钢屏幕上。空气是通过植物，从而提供自然过滤，然后再循环到空间。办公空间正处于实现LEED(注册商标)黄金评级的轨道上。

The plants are affixed to a perforated stainless screen that is connected to a fan. Air is drawn through the plants, thus providing natural filtration, and then recycled back into the space. The office space is on track to achieve a LEED (R) Gold rating.
