stimulate creativity

The Sioux Falls Design Center is designed to function as a gallery, lecture space, brainstorm incubator, reception space, classroom and meeting room with videoconferencing capability.

The SFDC is essentially an open rectangle with a diagonal wall of rolling doors to define toilet, kitchen, office and storage spaces.

The key elements added to the raw space are intended to be flexible and writable. The diagonal wall is surfaced with reclaimed slate chalkboards. The presentation wall is both a projection screen and white board, the ceiling cloud is compromised of canvas panels that can be taken down and drawn or painted on, then displayed or replaced with new ones.

Furniture is flexible and stackable to work in lounge, lecture, classroom, bar and meeting configurations.
