IKA Works North American Headquarters

Wilmington, NC
LS3P Associates Ltd.

The expanded North American headquarters for this German manufacturer tailors a German aesthetic to an American workplace. The addition maximizes the constrained site and strict budget, with clean lines and modernist design. The result is crisp, contemporary, and comfortable. A double-height lobby welcomes visitors and leads into a product showroom, while administrative spaces include offices, workstations, conference rooms, and a centralized break area.

A renovated facility includes administrative offices, a machine shop, and a state-of-the-art laboratory for research and development. The updated façade blends seamlessly with the administration building. A new pilot plant was added to supplement the manufacturing capacity.
