A round peg in a square hole

Article Abstract:

The BSHA Interiors Group has designed the management office of the San Diego Design Center. This project posed the challenge of turning a 2,800-square-foot box-like area into an office suited to many different functions. The designer incorporated the geometric shapes of the building's original architect and used materials innovatively to maximize the amount of natural light. Office workstations were designed to provide a sense of privacy.
