Founder, Shant Madjarian, tasked MTD to convert an old warehouse building in Southington, CT for his new Juniper Lighting manufacturing facility. Creating a mixed-use space to house office space, a premium lighting showroom and manufacturing & assembly space for their fixtures.
Keeping with the character of the +100 yr old building, we preserved the existing brick shell, interior wood columns and beams, and the existing wood factory floors. We carved out a central atrium, connecting the ground floor and upper offices and placed the showroom in the double height space, allowing us to use the Juniper Lighting Fixtures to be featured as chandeliers and wall sconces. This approach created a feeling of a Hotel Lobby, complete with different seating areas for meeting with clients, while showcasing their product in a context fitting for their product. The upper floor offices become part of the Showroom with its open floor plan, and again showcase the lighting fixtures in an open loft-style setting.
