This disused metal fabrication factory was stripped clean and reconstructed to create HATCHspaces, a multi-tenant “wet-lab” housing state of the art research and chemical testing facilities for bio science companies and startups. Working closely with Bam Architects and the company’s founders, we focused on preconstruction for eight-months to ensure expectations were exceeded and the scheduled work was completed in line with the rigorous build specifications required for a bio science lab. Significant structural upgrades were required as was a completely new mechanical and plumbing systems and a new power service capable of the building’s new demand.
