ROLE: Interior Design Tenant Improvements & Construction Administration
CLIENT: Confidential
PHOTOGRAPHY: Chris Arend Photography
From the lush open space to the chic design details, RIM Architects designed a new luxurious, modern 5,000 SF executive-level office space for an Alaska company, which was a significant move from the client’s previous 30,000+ SF location. The tenant improvement focused on open lounge areas while embracing the concrete building structure with open ceilings, exposed ductwork, custom desks, bookshelf walls, and timeless furnishings. The floor-to-ceiling glass in the offices offers views of Cook Inlet, which brightens the overall lighting within the internal spaces.

AWARDS:
  • International Partnering Institute: Diamond Award, John L. Martin Partnered Project of the Year
  • International Partnering Institute: Sue Dyer Innovation Award
  • ENR California: Best Interior/Tenant Improvement Project

In collaboration with Turner Construction, RIM Architects designed this 250,000 SF restack and relocation of Bay Area Rapid Transit’s (BART) headquarters to a newly acquired building in Oakland, California. This progressive design-build project involved 10 floors, and a roof deck, and shifted the internal space from a traditional arrangement to a primarily open office configuration with strategically positioned private offices at key locations.

Time was the most critical project component the team faced, as BART needed to move out of their current leased space and relocate to their new headquarters in Downtown Oakland in a little less than a year from the time of project kickoff.

Swinerton Builders engaged RIM Architects to envision their new work environment, spread onto two high-rise floors in Concord, California. Tenant improvements focused on connecting all departments via an open stair of clean, modern expressions of materials. During the early stages, RIM provided a visioning workshop to capture their needs, goals, and aspirations for a work environment with cross-generational appeal. The result is a space that reflects Swinerton’s brand palette, patterns, and culture while also prioritizing daylight and views.

RIM Architects served as Architect of Record for the famous CanoeHouse, which is the Mauna Lani Resort’s iconic signature restaurant. During design and construction, the restaurant was largely preserved structurally, maintaining the large volume ceilings and heavy timber beams. The interior and exterior spaces, including the central bar, were completed renovated with a wide range of casual seating opportunities and exquisite décor. The CanoeHouse is recognized as the kitchen where modern Hawaiian cuisine pioneer Alan Wong made his mark. CanoeHouse is carrying on this tradition under Chef Matt Raso.
