In a recent article written by B. James Bottoms, Mountain Hardwear’s Director of Operations, he reported that the company will be moving its headquarters to the Ford Assembly Plant in Richmond, Calif. The plant, designed by architect Albert Kahn in 1930, is a quarter of a mile long and includes features “that would be considered sustainable today such as the saw tooth roof design with large northern skylights which provide incredible natural light and hinged windows along the western and northern walls which draw in the cool bay breeze.”
Bottoms explains that by “re-appropriating some of open factory space, the original suite of managers' offices and the former product showroom, all of which had been practically abandoned for more than 25 years, we were able to design and build our space with a focus on sustainability.”
