The office is built around an internal "main street," transforming circulation into a social spine that connects work, collaboration and amenity spaces.

For IA Interior Architects' own Seattle studio, the firm transformed 11,300 square feet into a circular, regenerative workplace organized around a "main street," integrating 3D-printed furnishings, biophilic elements and adaptable spaces.

Originally built in 1828 as a courthouse, the Old St. Louis County Courthouse is now a part of the Gateway Arch National Park.

Private rooms are separated into wings on either side of the communal core, and use full-height glazing, warm timber built-ins and polished concrete surfaces to create restrained private spaces.

The open-plan communal area places dining and living functions within a continuous glazed volume, with timber-framed elements and exposed concrete providing a restrained material counterpoint.

The partially open bathroom patios combine dark tiled surfaces, exposed concrete and vegetation beneath timber screening, using filtered daylight and cross-ventilation to create an outdoor-oriented bathing environment.

The open kitchen combines warm-toned timber cabinetry, a pale stone work surface and stainless-steel appliances within the larger concrete and glass living volume, maintaining visual continuity with the outdoor spaces.

A continuous glazed elevation set beneath a deep timber canopy modulates daylight and creates a shifting pattern of shadow across the concrete structure.

The aerial view reveals the villa's pavilion-like composition, with the main living volume and bedroom wings arranged around landscaped exterior spaces. The adjacent factory forms a deliberately contrasting industrial backdrop.

Completed in 2023, Sanctuary Villa by BLOOM Architecture is a contemporary residence that balances a low-slung concrete pavilion with planted courtyards to create a layered dialogue between architecture and landscape.
