We designed this 12,000 square foot office building for a general contractor in 2007. The facility will allow for location of all company departments under the same roof, as well as offering office space for subcontractors regularly doing business with the company.

Ehm Architecture - San Diego, California

Principal Architect Randal Ehm designed and built this tenant improvement for his office in Mission Hills. He completed the work in one month. The project features Japanese shoji screens for which Randal designed hand-forged steel floor mounts, and perforated light screens that were fabricated by Art of Blacksmithing Design. The light screens reduce the visual impact of existing fluorescent light fixtures, which were retained for economy and practicality. Mr. Ehm purchased the office building in 1999.
