Details: Taylored Expressions is a local craft supply store and studio specializing in paper crafting. The company was launched in 2008. The business grew and expanded and out of necessity came to occupy several leased spaces at multiple locations. This project created for them a brand new facility where the company’s various product lines and functions could be located in a single facility at a single location.
The two story building is framed with a combination structural steel and wood frame components. The building’s façade is comprised of a combination of traditional masonry, contemporary metal panel, glass storefront and curtain wall. The building is multifunctional as it includes retail, office, classroom, studio, manufacturing, warehouse and storage spaces.
Venter Spooner worked closely with the owner and architect as part of a negotiated project team providing both preconstruction and construction services.
Venter Spooner was responsible for budget, schedule and quality control from the early design phase through final project delivery.
