TBG has demonstrated, repeatedly, that industrial projects are no less
deserving of appropriate attention to design, sustainability, character
and function than any other building type. Without compromise of
the inherent budgetary constraints of most industrial building projects,
TBG can find the essential heart and soul of these buildings of industry.
As evidenced in the facility TBG designed for Burley Design Cooperative,
a bicycle and rainwear maker in Eugene, there were underlying client goals
that might have otherwise been overlooked by conventional industrial facility
designers. Burley's business was founded in sustainable transportation and
their facility could do no less.
The resulting 60,000 S.F., 2-storey building was designed to engage a wetlands
connector site, provide 100% expansion capability, utilize daylighting as
the primary illumination source, make use of operable windows, night flushing
and outside-air tempering for comfort and air-quality control and provide
an inviting and livable working environment for the 90-plus owner-workers.
