Badger Balm Manufacturing Facility



This new manufacturing and office facility is designed to provide a nurturing and community-oriented working environment for all employees. The building centers on a large great room, in which workers meet each day for a healthy lunch, prepared in the adjacent kitchen. Offices are filled with natural light, and plants cascade down from a top-lit second-floor balcony. Local materials and a healthful interior environment are incorporated throughout, with particular attention to clean air in the manufacturing area. The building wraps around an inviting exterior courtyard, with elevations articulated to feel inviting and warm. For long-range planning purposes, the flexible design accommodates a future renovation into multi-family housing.
