The project was approximately 223,000 square feet of second-generation tenant improvements, split into two historic roads – Pacific Coast Highway and Route 66 – that serve as a gateway to unite employees across brands and departments. The spaces include a formal meeting room, training and war room, data and innovation areas, an indoor-outdoor space featuring a large patio with tiered seating. tk1sc provided full design for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, audiovisual and low voltage engineering, and lighting design engineering from our boutique lighting design firm StudioK1.

Airborne Systems is a world leader in military parachute design, manufacturing, and training. They tasked tk1sc with providing full-service MEP engineering and commissioning services for their new office, warehouse, and manufacturing space. Located in Santa Ana's Alere's Orange County Industrial Center. This 159,163 Square Foot space provides Airborne System enough space to operate. The intention for this space design was to create a better connection between the front office and the manufacturing floor that blurs the lines between the two functions. This space's open ceiling concepts allowed us to show off our design work while adding to the overall rugged and industrial feel of this space.

A start-up virtual reality developer takes its new home on the first floor of a1970s office tower. Given the company's virtual product, an effort was made to accentuate the "real" in the working environment and inspired the design team to use cutting-edge technology. The concrete corbelled ceiling and the office HVAC, electrical, and network systems are exposed and highlighted, providing an industrial aesthetic. Wall surfaces and doors are heavily textured, with the lighting designed to accentuate these elements. Given the digital nature of the workforce's tasks, we carefully considered lighting control, allowing fully dimmable options for direct and indirect illumination. Light is focused on the work surfaces, letting the walls fade back not to washout the multiple TV monitors. With limited fixture types throughout the project and all the fixtures being 100% LED, maintenance is minimized. Interior Architecture was done by Bolette N. Albertsen, with full mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and technology services by tk1sc and lighting design bystudioK1.
