In 2007, hMa undertook the design and construction of a new office headquarters in NYC. The project incorporated the following Pre-Fabrication and Green features:
All wall panels and built-in desks were pre-fabricated for speed of installation and to allow the Architects to take the new space with them when / if they move
Energy star rated appliances
Non low VOC rated surfaces and finishes
New recycle center / Green cleaning supplies storage area
New energy efficient fluorescent lights
Photos of hMa’s renovation feature their ‘Topo Table’ (designed by Victoria Meyers) in the new conference room. ‘Topo Table’, one of the firm’s Nature-based furniture designs, is made using recycled materials and is available for purchase. The renovation also features woodwork by Natural woodworker Hisao Hanafusa of Miya Shoji Interiors, as well as steel and metal work by David Teeple. Both are frequent hMa collaborators.
