Warehouse Transformation + Corporate Headquarters
The site was
... a dark, dusty 6,000-square-foot warehouse in Santa Barbara’s industrial area. A growing technology company approached KMA to transform the utilitarian building into a vibrant creative office that could support collaboration, flexibility, and the company’s evolving needs.
We began by studying
... the existing structure and quickly recognized that the building had great bones hidden beneath years of finishes. Rather than covering them up, we stripped away unnecessary layers to reveal the original structure and let the character of the warehouse become part of the design.We organized the interior around large, open workspaces that encourage collaboration and allow for flexible layouts, while adding conference rooms, phone booths, restrooms, a new kitchen, and dedicated storage for the bikes and paddle boards that are part of the team’s Santa Barbara lifestyle.
Today, the once industrial
... warehouse has been transformed into a bright, energetic creative office that celebrates the character of the original building while providing a flexible, collaborative environment designed around the way the company works and lives.
“KMA immediately saw the potential hidden within an old warehouse. They transformed it into a bright, collaborative workplace while preserving the character that made the building interesting in the first place.”
