Idea Book Project: S-5! Corporate HQ

Located on 4.5+ acres in the heart of Black Forest, Colorado, the two-story office building sports exterior and interior metal finishes and a comfortable yet provocative space for S-5! The adjacent support building houses the company’s video training center, a prototype shop and test facilities.

The office space is a true representation of the beauty of Black Forest with design elements unique to the area and throughout Colorado, yet also expresses commercial and industrial elements representative of the industry S-5! serves—a goal for owner, Rob Haddock.

The use of native timber and natural moss rock is harmonious with the rustic mountain rural and local architecture. Corten steel (sometimes known as weathered steel) also provides a rustic appearance to the building exterior. The office features a pre-painted Galvalume^® Drexel Metals 24-gauge, low-gloss black PVDF standing seam roof supported by hand-peeled log trusses.

Just outside the city limits of Colorado Springs, this building’s interior features comfortable yet efficient workspaces and a familial environment with enough room for the business to grow. With gathering places for staff to visit and collaborate, the building clearly reflects the company’s culture, ethos, style and persona.
