The project
KEM Studio transformed a 24,000 sq ft warehouse in Lenexa, Kansas, into a branch office for a national specialty contractor in framing and wall finishing, completed in 2025. The design pairs true craft with the utility of work boots.
Two 20 ft skylights flood the former warehouse with daylight. Around them sit a shared kitchen, a lounge and a flexible conference centre for training, with team workspaces and offices laid out for efficiency.
