Project Strategy
In Concord, North Carolina, this beautiful historic building, Flywheel, offers 20,000 square feet of private offices, coworking, meeting, and event spaces, providing the perfect location for small businesses, startups, freelancers, and remote workers to call home.
Our goal was to create an inspiring space while maintaining the architectural integrity of the building. When we began this project, many of the specified products were unavailable. Our team worked diligently to find suitable substitutions that concurred with the vision of the original design.
The building had some existing marble that the architect wished to preserve, but the unleveled substrate made the transitions difficult. We had to work closely with the team to accommodate the changes in the floor. Grinding, self-leveling, and Schluter helped us reach the desired aesthetic.
The bar area had custom order tile from Dal-tile. We created the design, sent the drawing to Dal-tile, and received a digital image of the finished product for the architect to approve. Again, this tile met up with a thicker tile, and once again, we had to accommodate for the difference.
