Co-Merge - 330 A Street

orchid

The retrofitted one story building (formerly a bank) has been redesigned as a unique flexible office space where you can rent a portable office including cubicles, video conference rooms and seminar rooms on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. The new space, known as “Co-Merge” was developed by Michael Kenny & Associates with Carrier Johnson Culture as lead designer.

At Co-Merge, users can utilize a custom professional networking system that allows them to share online documents and go paperless, while also expanding their network to include other members. Wireless, video conference rooms and private conference rooms are available for rent, also by the hour or day. The design of the workspace is open and contemporary to facilitate more interaction and a spirit of collaboration. The workplace solution provides users with the ability to use and pay for space on a convenient hourly "drop in" rate with no minimum required, or an affordable monthly unlimited membership. Special features include: Street front patio environment located on A Street featuring a beautifully sculptured fence, large planters and individual seating arrangements. Green rooftop garden and deck space. Rooftop planting, designed using sedum trays provided by LiveRoof, surrounds a raised wood deck with lounge seating and umbrellas.

Fantastic!

I love how unexpected this building is! Surrounded by mostly nondescript office buildings, this project is a true diamond in the rough. This is another example of a successful and creative retrofit of an existing building that offers an interesting office concept and beautiful sculptural steel art to the neighborhood. I particularly like the inviting roof garden.
