Rex Materials Group, operating out of a converted horse barn for 50 years, sought a new headquarters reflective of their technological ideals and collaborative business approach. Design Concept: The building design embodies the client's technology-driven business while integrating with the site's natural wetlands. Materials and detailing reminiscent of the company's barn-grown roots were incorporated. Architectural Features: The headquarters is divided into three distinct yet unified volumes: Central Volume: Houses a large, open, naturally lit space for collaborative work. Features include southern-exposed glazing with exterior louvers, acoustical roof decking, and modern barn doors. The Western Bookend: Contains public support functions including a large meeting room with views of the wetlands, kitchen, bathrooms, and lobby. Eastern Volume: Houses private support functions such as a shop, kiln room, and research & development labs. Materials and Detailing: Vertical metal siding, wood barn doors, exposed structural elements, and split-face concrete masonry blocks were used to maintain a unified aesthetic across all three volumes. Key Highlights: Integration with Nature: Incorporation of natural wetlands into the design. Symbolism: Modern interpretation of historic barn materials reflecting the company's roots. Functional Layout: Distinct volumes for collaborative, public, and private functions.
