There is a significant demand for flexible high bay 32’ + warehouse space to handle extremely dense storage and transactional needs for products typically arriving on-site by over-the-road trucking. The key is to be attentive and flexible in how trucks approach, dock, and stage on the site. We work closely with clients and developers to thoughtfully design these enormous structures and then subdue the scale so that they are handsome and approachable from the street and the pedestrian door.
Method Architecture has a well-rounded resume of purpose-built structures that accommodate the exacting requirements of technology companies involved in research, manufacturing, assembly, or specialized storage and handling.
We program, design, and deliver spaces specific to the tenant. We begin by quickly learning about the tenant to create buildings and interiors that serve each company best, working with the site’s unique conditions.
We can meet the design requirements, follow corporate guidelines, and deliver tenant finish inside the new or existing High Bay structure maximizing the overlap of shell/tenant interior construction time frame.
INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS
We work with all types of companies, from large global corporations to startups. No matter the type or size of the company, Method Architecture will design a space that fits the needs of today and into tomorrow. Method has worked to include many green technologies, including LEED certification, that help our clients save energy and money.
