Taylor Design had the opportunity to remodel an entire office floor for a cutting-edge semi-conductor equipment manufacturing company in San Diego. Tasked with creating a space reflective of the client’s guiding principle of transparency and care for all employees, the design team paid special attention to creating a collaborative work environment. The project scope included collaboration and meeting rooms, upgraded breakrooms, and the transformation of a previously unusable exterior deck into a functional gathering space. The project upgraded traditional mechanical rooftop units to an energy efficient VRF system, allowing for a reduction of operating costs, improved occupant comfort and alignment with the client’s sustainability goals. Working in an occupied space while adhering to an ambitious schedule, the design team worked diligently to minimize disruptions and ensure existing amenities remained accessible throughout the project. Additionally, to support the company’s recent business merger, Taylor Design developed new design standards to celebrate and advance the branding and culture of the two former companies into one unified look and feel moving forward.
