The entire first floor of the existing building was gutted and renovated to include a coach’s locker room and lounge, administration offices, commercial kitchen, player’s dining room, hydrotherapy room, a locker room and training room. The Phillies vertical pinstripe, home uniform is reflected in the entrance element, allowing the materiality to create the pinstripe effect. A new second floor addition includes six private offices, large equipment room, and a large conference room for team meetings. The continuous walkway around the entire second floor provides a visual connection to the four practice fields and is utilized by coaches to analyze the player’s skills. A “sky box” concept was implemented on the south elevation second floor, with expansive glazed areas and a private door to the exterior walkway from each office.

This new 16 floor, downtown St. Petersburg, FL tower for Progress Energy consolidated all of PE’s corporate offices into one building. Thirty-four different departments were programmed and space planned into 9 floors of new office space. Included as part of the interior design is an executive suite, a training center, and four video conference rooms. This interior build-out for a new corporate headquarters involved programming, space planning, furniture specification, signage design and specification, construction administration, move-in assistance, and project close-out.
