Project Goal:
This project is the result of a resource-sharing cooperative between three community services
agencies: Genesis II for Women, the Management Assistance Project and YES/NEON. The goals
were to present 3 distinct facilities to the public while sharing space and to create a
relaxed environment for clients of the agencies.
Outcome:
A complete remodeling of an existing 14,000 square foot, 2-story brick office building. Our
work included interior space planning and finish selection, new mechanical systems, roofing
and windows. We created a warm design profile through the use of wood finishes, earth tone
coloring, incandescent lighting, niches and unusual hallway configurations to break down
some of the traditional symbols of “office” to encourage a relaxed environment for communication.
