Stacy and Witbeck office by FME Architecture + Design

This 20,000 square foot office building is the new headquarters for Stacy and Witbeck, a national leader in public transportation construction and engineering. It sits along a strip of land in Alameda, known as the Esplanade, facing the San Francisco Bay. The project encompassed both ground-up and interior design portions allowing the team to fully utilize the dramatic water views. The warm brick fa�ade is complemented by dark bronze window frames and louvered sunscreens, with wood panels leading into the double-height lobby. The building layout leverages the center of the space to connect the two floors with a dramatic atrium and signature stair.

The scope of architectural work included a masonry shell, steel frame, high-performing glazing and sun/shading control. The interior design features exposed columns, polished concrete floors, fired brick construction blocks, and custom fabricated furniture made from untreated railroad ties to evoke the client�s industry. This building is LEED Platinum Certified.
