This is simply a glass box that exposes the entire process of creating and testing to view. It needed a much larger, more productive terminal in the U.S. to handle containers and the trucks that move them. The owner, operator, and architect collaborated in dissecting the operations of a port facility, rebuilding it piece by piece, and matching the flow of work and the way it gets done. Gate buildings, guard booths, and employee facilities were all designed to keep trucks moving efficiently. Hanjin's goal of doubling its volume was met within two years of the terminal's opening in 1997.
Artists work in studios, and their creations are packaged and sent around the world.
Demand grew so high that new space was needed. Work in the old building was on two floors and not very efficient. A collaboration between artists, architects, and owners of the enterprise redefined the work process, creating a linear flow on one floor. The artists' studios are now integrated with the manufacturing and shipping departments. The new building is situated in a grove of mature oak trees.
