Founded in 1873 in Sweden, Atlas Copco is an international corporation that makes some serious equipment for the construction, medical, mining, excavating, and manufacturing industries worldwide. Forced to move from a building that was too small, they chose a re-purposed old brick warehouse building in Rock Hill, SC. The thick brick walls, oversized concrete columns and concrete ceilings/floors were the perfect palette for Redline to work with for such a heavy industrial group. Redline went back to Atlas Copco’s Swedish roots by incorporating pale woods, Scandinavian blues, soft yellows and deep charcoals. Large master-graphics of current & historical photos are used as way-finding. This space combines the raw character of the building with modern lines and full glass office fronts, to point to the future while paying homage to the past.
