V3 recently relocated its Indianapolis office from the central downtown core to the Stutz mixed use-district on the near NW side. This 11,000 SF interior renovation of a historic automotive manufacturing building required transforming the former industrial space into a modern Class A office environment. The design balances relevant workplace needs with a deep respect for the building’s rich patina and character.
The design prioritized collaboration zones, maximizing light, and emphasizing a simplistic approach over a backdrop of an exposed, textural concrete frame to honor the building’s industrial heritage. New glass partitions, minimal detailing, and strategic lighting enhance the sense of openness while maintaining spatial definition. Daylight floods the space through restored factory windows, reinforcing a connection to the building’s past while supporting employee well-being and productivity. The result is a dynamic workplace that merges both historic authenticity with modern functionality, creating a unique environment tailored to the needs of a growing, national civil engineering firm.
