The project completely renovated Wheeler Machinery's 45,000-sq-ft office building. Before the renovation, the 30-year-old structure was a dark, unrecognizable box and lacked a visual connection to the company's stability, strength and capabilities, says the submitter. Hughes General Contractors worked closely with Richardson Design Partnership to give the once bland and boring structure an upscale industrial feel. Bold concrete elements were added to the building's exterior. Inside, the design creates a welcoming, open feeling, says the team. The entire interior was gutted, and three floors were reconstructed to create new office space.
