Inside a working warehouse in Tacoma, where corrugated sheets become custom solutions shipped across the Northwest, a new office environment takes shape. The 5,800 square foot renovation and expansion for Pacific Box Company strengthens the daily experience of the team behind the product, creating a workplace that feels as thoughtful as the service they provide.

Project Details
Warehouse settings are built for production, not always for people. The design began with a simple question: how can comfort thrive within an industrial shell. Careful detailing at exterior walls and interior demising partitions improved envelope performance, reducing drafts and stabilizing temperatures throughout the office. The result is a calmer, more consistent environment where staff can focus, collaborate, and feel supported in their work.
The entry, once understated, now offers a clear and confident arrival. Fresh paint, updated signage, and an ADA accessible ramp create an inclusive and professional first impression. The renewed façade reflects the company’s revitalized brand while honoring the honest character of its warehouse roots.
This transformation is subtle but meaningful. By improving comfort, clarity, and presence, the renovation reinforces the company’s investment in its people. It is a reminder that even within the most utilitarian settings, thoughtful design can elevate everyday experience and quietly shape the way work feels.
