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.

TBG also helped transform a modest 157,000 sf warehouse and office facility to a regional distribution center and corporate offices for the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. of Eugene. High performance glazing and custom-designed steel awnings help to manage daylight and highway noise while putting an engaging face on an otherwise flat, tilt-up panel building. The "Pepsi blue" steel panel system at the double-storey lobby further help to project a robust and engaging image public at a scale that is readable to the highway-bound public.

TBG's design for BRING Recycling's new Planet Improvement Center aspires to demonstrate resource reuse in a way that will shift acceptance from the fringe to the mainstream and will present conservation, reuse and rethinking of consumption in an attractive, inspiring and interesting setting. BRING's aim is to create a cross between a visitor’s center, theme park, reuse warehouse, art gallery and retail outlet.
