CMI HQ

Originally built in the 1970s and once home to a local general contractor and architect who both had a hand in its construction, the building later housed American Indian Art Magazine for many years. When Constructed Matter purchased the property, the goal was not to erase that history, but to uncover it and give the building a new life. The renovation exposed the original slump block walls, concrete floors hidden beneath carpet, and incorporated the original wall tile into the conference room. Working alongside Amy Williams, Constructed Matter developed a warm, mid-century modern direction that balances the building’s original character with the needs of a contemporary workplace. Sandblasted slump block, wood ceilings, full-height storefront glass, an interior atrium, stainless steel countertops, and radiused vanities carry that approach throughout the space. As both client and builder, Constructed Matter was able to shape the project from design through construction. The headquarters also serves as a tangible expression of that process. A place where clients can experience our approach to materials, detailing, design, and construction firsthand. At the center of it is a comfortable, inviting environment designed not only for our team to work, but for clients to gather, meet, and spend time in a space that reflects how we build.
