50m 44s | 2024 Mar 15
In this episode, Cherise is joined by Christopher Roach, Principal, and Jacquelyn Fung, Studio Director at Studio VARA in San Francisco, California.
The Redwood Highway Offices began as an adaptive reuse project that transformed the most banal of commercial box buildings into a light-filled courtyard office space specifically outfitted for a discerning, high-end residential builder with an exclusive clientele.
Four main objectives drove the architectural design for the building: to embody the client’s enigmatic brand, to embrace the industrial aesthetic, to introduce natural daylighting strategically, and to execute the project efficiently via a well-detailed, judicious use of materials.
