WP Engine

Hip New Digs

After designing the master plan for the new Millwork Commons neighborhood, APMA began work on the transformation of the historic Ashton building into offices for WP Engine, a tech company. The renovated space commemorates the history of the former window factory while celebrating WP Engine’s unique culture and energy. The existing building is constructed of heavy timber and load-bearing masonry and had developed a rich patina throughout its lifetime. New elements were intentionally designed to contrast the existing materials, offering a strong counterpoint that emphasizes the beauty of both new and old.
