Milmar Buildings

This building was built to expand Milmar Buildings’ headquarters from the original late 1800s brick building that served as, among other things, a train station, a home, and a landscaping company in the past.
We wanted to expand into a modern, functioning office space, while maintaining some historical details to tie the addition in with the original building. We achieved that through varied rooflines, cedar accents and complimentary Board and Batten-look Cottage panel metal on the walls.
