The Powerlight Office Space

by Jennifer Chait on May 4th, 2008

Powerlight, Inc. is a lead designer, manufacturer and installer of photovoltaic integrated building systems - in other words, they deal in solar energy. Fittingly, when Leger Wanaselja Architecture was hired to complete Powerlight’s office space, they went solar. This may be one of the best looking office spaces I’ve ever seen; take a look:

According to the Leger Wanaselja Architecture website, the once open office space was divided into zones of sorts, to allow for a feeling of space division, but the plan looks really nice and open, welcoming, even split, I think. The room elements are made of salvaged, low toxic or resource efficient materials.

For the sign in area the architects actually designed both a desk and wall with Powerguard panels - photovoltaic roofing product. Very cool and innovative, right? The office is a showcase for the company’s product which is just clever beyond words.

Look at the cool conference room up close:

Lovely. I think I want this office.

To learn more about the design aspects and see more pictures of the Powerlight office space go right here. It’s a cool read. To see more great structure designs, visit Leger Wanaselja Architecture. They have many neat projects, but if I were you, I’d start with the elia/jones house - it’s a stunning home remodel.
