Beinfield Design Tour | North American Power

Here's another great recent project from Beinfield Architecture PC. Welcome to your design tour of the North American Power Headquarters!

North American Power is one of the fastest growing companies in the State of Connecticut. They provide sustainable energy solutions and offer competitive rates to customers, all while supporting many worthwhile charitable organizations through their Mission to Millions program. Passion, drive, and forward thinking have enabled founders Kerry and Carey to create this successful energy company with a solid idea:
Great things happen when you give individuals the power to change the world around them.
And that's the perspective Beinfield Architecture, and design team member, Corporate Design LLC,
built upon when conceiving this amazing new office space.
 

This fast growing powerhouse wanted new offices to reflect their principles as well as their success in the energy industry. Beinfield Architecture and Corporate Design have given them space that will attract the hard-working, innovative talent they seek in employees by creating a cool and comfortable work environment. At the same time, these offices are professional and impressive for hosting established industry corporations coming to Norwalk to strategize the future of solar and wind power.

This sustainable energy company's space relies heavily on the use of recycled materials. 


The living wall, which spans the length of the office, hosts plant life providing oxygen and a great view enhancing the office environment.


The antique oak walls are reclaimed wood while the use of sustainable materials are evident throughout the project.


 Wouldn't you love to work in a place like this every day?

Beinfield Designs KAYAK.com's Incredible Stamford Headquarters

Beinfield Architecture PC recently had the privilege of working with KAYAK.com, the leading travel search engine on the Internet, on their new Stamford, Connecticut headquarters. The concept and the final product are fantastic!



Mark P. Goodwin, AIA led the design team in the conversion of the abandoned south side Police Station.  Located on Market Street, in the heart of the neighborhood that's quickly becoming the Brooklyn of Fairfield County, this project was destined to be cool.


The glass enclosed conference room sits beneath the jet fuselage constructed inside of the space. Incredible, right?


The open catwalk above connects the upper level work areas, and the design's use of glass creates a completely transparent office environment while maintaining distinct uses of space.


The steel framework, exposed brick, and jet fuselage are referential of the building's origins and the fantastic innovations of the travel and transportation industries.


It's clear KAYAK is continuing on it's own path of innovation with this space. What an amazing opportunity to work there each day! The Beinfield Team was honored to design this great new addition to the Stamford South End community.
