Cloud Space
Cloud Space provides cloud based businesses the community and lifestyle of a small town while enabling them to grow their businesses. Focused on cloud based businesses, this collaborative work environment is breaking the boundaries of a typical office workspace through features such as the Rebar Room, Glass Whiteboard Wall, and half level mezzanines. This building connects to the surrounding context with its character.
The Concept behind Cloud Space, is to create a spontaneous social environment. We accomplished this through a centralized movement core and community lounge, where members will cross paths together with the hopes of developing a relationship. Once a studio for an artists, a glass case and a slot window were created on the far west wall to cast a light beam down the wall to create an art piece. Located in the historical district, the character of the building was kept in tact as the insertion of the new program is pulled back ever so slightly as it extrudes up. As you ascend into the stars of the building on the third floor, virtical compression is apparent while a James Turrell inspired light monitor was placed for the release. Responding to Flagstaff’s love for the night sky, the last level of this building represents the stars of the night.
