It is a new project after the team outgrew the previous space and tackled some main issues. These include "How can our studio evolve from a dedicated workspace to a playground for the art and design community? Where can we find a space to integrate gardens, an event venue, and a fabrication shop, as well as our studio?" A [warehouse with two semi-cylindrical steel structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tengbom) is the newest canvas of the workspace -- it was originally built in the 40s and rests on a triangular lot. The team renovates the structure and the inspiration features a dark and moody aesthetic that channels a very cool vibe for the modern office.
