WRNS Studio<\/strong> has completed the renovation and expansion of the corporate headquarters for Salt Lake City-based Okland Construction<\/strong>. With roots that reach back to 1918, Okland Construction is a privately held, family-owned business that has left its mark of craftsmanship and uncompromising quality throughout North America. Using LEED, Living Building Challenge, and WELL, WRNS Studio worked with Okland Construction to craft a healthy, inspirational workplace that connects employees with one another and their natural environment.
\nStrategies focused on using healthy, regional materials, maximizing daylighting and views, and creating a warm and engaging sense of place. Drawing on Okland Construction\u2019s spirit of collaboration and origin as skilled carpenters and shipbuilders, material exploration defined the design process. Options were mocked up on site to review quality and ensure resiliency against the local Utah climate. The building\u2019s existing brick was paired back, allowing for the introduction of contemporary building materials like Shou Sugi Ban<\/em> wood cladding and cast-in-place concrete, specialties of Okland Construction Materiality also helped code the building: delineating formal from informal spaces and highlighting program hierarchy.<\/p>
