KFM STEEL
GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN

Prior to Lott3 Metz Architecture, Greg Metz, in collaboration with Chad Gould, designed the new corporate offices and plant employee facilities for KFM Steel in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The original steel production building from the turn of the century was renovated to accommodate these functions. Many of the original crane lifts and overhead boom crane were along with the exposed brick to retain much of the original industrial feel. Within this building an open office plan with enclosed conference rooms and managers office were added along with new locker rooms and a new lunchroom for the plant employees. The design allows for future expansion to the upper mezzanine level.
