Project Description

Occupying 38,000 square feet over two floors in the heart of Irvine, this project for a home improvement franchising company required strategic demolition of a 20,000 square foot data center prior to renovation. Brand-new millwork, window coverings, and flooring were installed in the two showrooms, and careful coordination with in-house shading and flooring vendors was required. Intricately-stamped epoxy flooring was installed throughout the space, while over 350 acoustical floating clouds were suspended from the ceiling. The layout of the 1st floor was constructed to align the carpet seams and furniture with these clouds, rendering a project designed with customized precision. The new space required extensive plumbing and electrical improvements, including the addition of two full restrooms, extensive drain trenching, an N-light control system, and a new transformer. Additional features include 2 pantries, a brand-new gym, a kitchen, and a rock wall.
