Barrows

Location: Roanoke, VA
Project Type: Renovation, Adaptive Reuse
Size: 34,195 sq. ft.

After purchasing a former cabinet shop, Barrows turned to IDG to convert the space into an office space, showroom, and warehouse for their commercial office furniture, interior design, space planning, cabinetry, countertops, and commercial flooring business. The existing structure features a one-story office building fronting a large pre-engineered metal building. Large windows were added to the exterior of the office building to allow more natural light to flood the space. An open floor plan features minimal walls and relies on Barrow’s furniture system displays to further break up the space. Space is provided for individual offices, breakout rooms, conference areas, a sample library, and a staff break area.

The design of the space ensures Barrow’s products and services are center stage. Care was taken to allow the showroom to double as free meeting space for clients and prospects, giving them a unique opportunity to experience Barrow’s products firsthand. An outdoor patio, with views to the Roanoke Valley Greenway, serves as a venue for staff and client special events.
