11th & Grove

A state liquor store turned up-and-coming architect’s office. Pivot North, seeing an opportunity to occupy a ground-level storefront on the edge of downtown Boise, leased this 3,000 square foot former liquor store, transforming it into the company’s first official office. The design includes open work areas with custom-designed, hand-constructed desks, a coffee bar for visitors, a lounge area, a locker room with bike storage, and glass-walled conference rooms.

Art from local artist Matt Grover and cardboard taxidermy provide whimsy and interest. Interior finishes and furniture reinforce the company’s brand.
