KNOCK Inc., Minneapolis, MN
Located in the creative crucible of Minneapolis’ north loop warehouse district, the office renovation for this branding and graphic design firm strips away every unessential gimmick and architectural flourish. Flanked on two sides by support space and enclosed offices, the central work area is open and flexible - the factory floor for today’s creative class.
The company’s brand colors of dark brown and blaze orange ring out against the minimally finished brick and concrete shell. Glass walls foster visual communication between directors and design staff, and ensure democratic access to daylight provided by a solitary bank of windows on the south wall.
