ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Luckett & Farley transformed a century-old auto repair facility into a vibrant mixed-use headquarters that supports collaboration and innovation. The project expanded the workspace by incorporating carefully designed pass-through connections to the existing office, creating an integrated, unified environment.

Rather than erasing the building’s historical character, the project preserved the industrial original while enhancing performance with advanced systems such as VRF chilled-beam heating and cooling. Natural light floods the work and meeting areas, and individual control over lighting and shading was provided to enhance occupant comfort and autonomy.

The workspace layout follows a studio model, with architects, interior designers, and engineers organized by market specialty—from higher education to civic, government, industrial, distilled spirits, and commercial sectors. A variety of collaborative zones, quiet focus rooms, and social areas support different modes of work. Flexible, modular office systems allow the environment to shift easily as project teams and workloads change.

This headquarters consolidates the firm’s operations, reinforces its culture, and signals a long-term commitment to the urban core of Louisville. The project was developed with the goal of achieving LEED Gold certification, reflecting a clear commitment to sustainable design and built environment performance.
