Breaking Ground on Our New Office Space at 1023 State Street!
Located in the heart of bustling State Street, our new space is set to become a central pillar of this vibrant community. Here’s a glimpse into how we are approaching this amazing opportunity.
While the exterior of our new building will blend seamlessly with the historic elegance of Santa Barbara, the interior will be distinctively Anacapa. We've designed the space to reflect several key pillars of our design philosophy: Community, Nature, Experience, and Sustainability.
Community
We believe in nurturing our community and contributing to it. The new office will facilitate spontaneous interactions among our team, colleagues, and collaborators, enhancing the dynamic exchanges that fuel our creativity and team.
Nature
Nature is a constant source of inspiration. Despite being in the city’s vibrant center, we wanted to create a serene space connected to nature. An open-air courtyard will be the heart of our office, allowing staff and visitors to engage with a lush natural environment throughout the day, reminding us of nature’s importance in our work.
Experience
From a welcoming street frontage that engages passersby to an intimate internal garden, the space is designed to reveal more of its beauty with each visit. Skylights and an open courtyard allow ever-changing lighting conditions to influence the nature of the space, while vegetation chosen to reflect the seasons will provide an evolving environment. A pinup space the length of the building will showcase our evolving projects, reflecting our work's changing seasons and dynamic nature.
Sustainability
In our renovation process, we discovered beautiful old-growth wood within the existing structure. While the quantity is limited, we are repurposing this wood to create custom furniture, ensuring that the materials from the building site are utilized in a meaningful and sustainable way. Provides a useful second life that our team and collaborators will engage with daily.
“Finding ways to connect the built environment to the natural environment is a core value of Anacapa. Our new office space will have an open courtyard in the center of the building, allowing us to constantly interact with nature throughout the workday.”
