CORDOBA TI IS A TENANT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR A 10,000 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING IN SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA. HAVING ONLY A SHOESTRING BUDGET, THE CLIENTS PROGRAM WAS SIMPLY TO "PUT LIPSTICK ON A PIG". THE STRONGEST ARCHITECTURAL MOVE IN THE SCOPE INCLUDES GUTTING OPEN THE LOBBY TO CREATE A DOUBLE HEIGHT ENTRY WHICH CREATES A STRONGER RELATION BETWEEN THE TWO FLOORS AND CORRIDORS. REPLACING DRYWALL PARTITIONS WITH GLASS AND ADDING SKYLIGHTS HELP BRING NATURAL LIGHT INTO THE CENTRAL CORE OF THE BUILDING. PURE WHITE PAINT WITH PUNCHES OF COLOR AND GRAPHICS REPLACE THE DRAB "SWISS COFFEE" PAINT THROUGHOUT. A COMBINATION OF EXPOSING THE CONCRETE FLOORS AND STRATEGICALLY PLACED CARPTET TILES REPLACE THE OLD BURGUNDY CARPETING HELPING TO BRIGHTEN THE ONCE DREARY INTERIOR. MORE PHOTOS TO COME...
