Smart Wires relocated their HQ from Northern California to Durham, NC to benefit from local economy, gain access to talent and provide a better quality of living to their current and future employees.

Using Smart Wires’ tag line “Reimagine the Grid” as a starting point, the team established an overall concept of “Disrupt the Grid” to align their mission and values with the architecture and design. The fully integrated design team developed a variety of workspaces including private offices and workstations, support spaces, and lab space focusing on R/D and testing that features High Current Testing Bays, Server Room, Machine Shop and Configurable Test Cell Zones.

“Working with the Little team was a great experience from start to finish. I always felt like our opinion as the client was front and center and they brought us along every step of the way and took time to ensure we had a good grasp on our options and what the impact was of the decisions we made. The final product blew us away and is better than we could have imagined.”
