Master Builders of Iowa
SVPA Architects Inc. was selected to design a renovation for the new headquarters of Master Builders of Iowa. The West Des Moines building, which previously housed retail space, was gutted and renovated to create offices, shared workspaces, and conference rooms for MBI to carry out day-to-day operations. The new space also includes a training center to host educational sessions for the construction industry. The facility can be used by members as a meeting space, a short-term office, or a space to host training sessions and larger group meetings.

Our Solution
As a construction association, decisions were made to highlight the various construction trades in MBI’s new building. The main entry features a hot-rolled steel wall with MBI branding, and black metal mesh ceilings in the conference rooms reveal the industrial inner workings of the facility. Both the interior and exterior were updated and modernized with new materials and finishes to reflect and communicate MBI’s brand.
