M Space delivered a modular 7,056 sq foot building that projected an octagonal interior with the unique feature of office walls being glass and metal. Marble washrooms, marble floors and designer specific lighting to show off the attention to detail. The building includes a spacious reception area, showcase display, lounge, and multiple offices with glass and metal walls , restrooms and kitchen. Created within the building were the exact models being offered.The façade utilizes synthetic stucco and a series of colored coordinated canopies creating the sense of a permanent structure.
Cost Energy Effectiveness : The speed in which this facility was designed, manufactured and completed on site enabled WCI to sell out the first phase earlier than planned. The ability to utilize modular construction to replicate the high end properties being offered in a matter of months and on a lease basis was the cost effective advantage identified and selected by WCI.

Technical Innovation : The most innovative aspect of this building is the open ceilings in the central octagonal visitors reception and model area. With the indirect back lighting and high ceilings in the spacious central area an environment was created that matched the quality and lavishness of the properties being sold. The glass floor to ceiling walls further enhanced the experience. Even with the large open areas the structural rigidity of the building was an important acheivement as it is located one block from the ocean.
