Working with a client that makes building materials has its perks! Everything, from the counter tops, to the large graphics printed on Wilsonart materials mounted at the entrance of the showroom, to the bathroom partitions, the millwork - all of it is built with Wilsonart's strong and durable materials.

The warehouse was an opportunity for the team to flex their technical chops. Working with engineers, the design team coordinated the new crane used for easily moving materials around the warehouse. The training room, with its retractable glass walls, acts as a buffer between the showroom and warehouse giving unobstructed visuals of both in action.

For Wilsonart’s pilot showroom, the project presented the unique opportunity to showcase the breadth of their product line and highlight the dynamic behind-the-scenes action of the warehouse. Seamless transparency from one end of the project to the other across varying programmatic elements drove the project’s space planning and execution.

Visitors to the showroom are afforded a front-row seat to the buzz of warehouse operations and the impressive crane system utilized for material movement throughout the warehouse and shipment preparation. Facilitating this immersive experience is a training room that acts as a buffer between the showroom and the warehouse. It is flanked by floor-to-ceiling glass walls that can retract for demonstrations and training for the Wilsonart team. This provides complete transparency from one end to the other and brings behind-the-scenes warehouse operations front and center.
