Lewis & Tibbitts is a General Contractor who does heavy infrastructure work in the Bay Area. They specialize in excavating, grading, asphalt, utility installation, and have a large fleet of trucks, tractors & equipment of all sizes.

The design concept for their new, on-site office building was to combine industrial materials and modern architecture. The building uses a pre-engineered steel structure in a simple geometric form to contribute to the building's efficiency and aesthetic and a seamed metal skin allowing it to integrate neatly in its industrial surroundings.

The two-story office space contains ample natural light, and a landscaped courtyard to enhance employee well-being and productivity. Bioswales in the landscape design with native plants not only increases the site's sustainability but contributes to local ecology and the visual appeal of the site.  

The building will create a campus along with their existing yard & industrial buildings and allow for several years of company growth.
