Hedgemore Flex: Adaptive Reuse for Modern Workspaces

Hedgemore Flex is a dynamic adaptive reuse project located in Charlotte, NC, encompassing 7,500 square feet of interior architecture. The design transforms an existing structure into a contemporary, functional workspace tailored to the needs of Ossa Studio and its tenants. The project skillfully integrates modern aesthetics with the building’s original character, creating a seamless blend of innovation and practicality.

The interior layout prioritizes flexibility and collaboration, featuring open workstations, enclosed private offices, and thoughtfully designed meeting spaces. The use of glass partitions and natural light enhances connectivity while maintaining privacy. A carefully curated material palette combining warm wood tones, bold accent colors, and sleek black finishes infuses the space with energy and sophistication. Additionally, the breakroom and common areas are designed to foster informal interactions, reinforcing a sense of community and productivity.

Interior Office Renovation in an Existing Charlotte Building

Hedgemore Flex is an interior office renovation of about 7,500 SF in a two-story business-occupancy building from 1996 in Charlotte, NC. The building holds several offices, and Ossa Studio’s own studio is one of them. The building has 8,005 SF on the first floor and 2,900 SF on the second, which was storage before the project. Existing structural columns and beams stayed in place, and both floors are now classified as Business under the 2018 North Carolina Building Code and Existing Building Code.

Open Offices, Glass-Fronted Conference Rooms and a Break Room

The plan has a lobby, private offices, open office areas, conference rooms, a break room, a print and copy area, a phone room and restrooms. The large conference rooms have full-height half-inch tempered glass fronts with pivot doors. New non-rated walls of metal studs and gypsum board rise 6 inches above the ceiling with batt insulation, and the millwork uses colored core plastic laminate.

Materials, Lighting and Orange Accents

Offices and conference rooms have carpet tile, the break room luxury vinyl tile, the corridors sealed concrete and the restrooms ceramic tile. Walls are painted white, black, gray and orange. All existing lighting and controls were removed and replaced with recessed LED panels, surface-mounted LED bars, linear LEDs and downlights under new acoustical ceiling tiles. A new composite wood deck and guardrail were added outside.
