SM&W Contribution
Shen Milsom & Wilke (SM&W) collaborated with the design team and Amy’s Kitchen to develop the acoustics and technology infrastructure and systems for the new Amy’s Kitchen corporate headquarters, a renovation of a historic building in downtown Petaluma, California. Founded in Sonoma County in 1987, Amy’s Kitchen is an organic food retailer specializing in frozen food production. The new headquarters consists of the adaptive reuse and structural seismic upgrade of an existing historic 3-story retail building into offices. The office will be approximately 20,000 SF after the demolition of an existing mezzanine and its replacement with a new enlarged floor area.
SM&W worked closely with the Amy’s Kitchen IT Team to tailor systems to the user’s current AV, IT, and Security needs, while carefully planning for company growth and future technology. The Architect designed rooms and spaces to encourage open teamwork and information exchange. Ease of collaboration and user mobility across three building levels was a primary focus in designing technology systems solutions for this project.
