HOERR SHAUDT
1555 W FULTON ST .
Building out Hoerr Schaudt’s office in Fulton Market neighborhood was an inspiring adaptive reuse endeavor The project centered around transforming a historic, 14,600-square-foot industrial building into a modern headquarters that embraced both sustainability and the firm’s design ethos. Retaining and patching the building’s original concrete floors, exposing brick walls, and salvaging steel doors and beams required careful dismantling, preservation, and skillful re-integration. Special attention went into maximizing natural light by adding skylights and an interior courtyard, drastically reducing electrical demand through thoughtful planning and all-LED, smart-controlled lighting
The interior space was crafted to support fluid, collaborative work for design and siteworks studios, with break-out areas, private phone booths, and a welcoming kitchen designed for gatherings We collaborated closely with Hoerr Schaudt to use repurposed materials wherever possible, reducing environmental impact while maintaining a high level of finish The new courtyard, set for further development in summer 2024, showcased the firm’s landscape expertise and provided a lush, functional escape for occupants Witnessing the transformation of this industrial space into a vibrant, creative hub while minimizing waste and honoring the building's heritage was a professional highlight for all involved.
