Ideal Electric’s office and warehouse includes three rental spaces. Located in an industrial park, this building sits amidst buildings largely devoid of personality. BlueSky Studio wanted to utilize materials like a utilitarian concrete block in an artful manner. There is a split face on the front entry wall which recalls storefront facades typical for the West. Above this arch is a step parapet with large windows on the bottom and small windows above.

The capstone spells out “Ideal” – the name of the major tenant. During the design process, BlueSky Studio and its client played with this name and the meaning of the word. We were aspiring to a higher “ideal.”

This project reflects an attitude of no-nonsense design that is still an artful presentation. Classical proportions and references give the building a timeless quality – a design that is not reflective of any particular age.
