Manufacturing and industrial facilities are critical to the growth and success of a country's economy. They enable businesses to produce the goods and services that we rely on every day. From producing cars, to manufacturing medicine and other products that shape our modern world, manufacturing and industrial facilities are the central hub to all of today’s advancements.

Claris Design Build and Butler Completed Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities

 

Basement Systems Inc.

Seymour, CT | 73,000 sq. ft. | Completed 2017

One of Claris’ most aesthetically appealing Butler Building is Basement Systems Inc. This 73,000 SF facility consists of office space, large warehouses, and a kitchen and dining area. This facility, being a hybrid of conventional and pre-engineered Butler steel, allowed Claris to add some innovative designs, including their signature modern glass windows and unique architectural layout. In the design, Claris incorporated visible lines of sight into the three wings of the building, allowing office personnel to keep an eye on day-to-day operations and activities, while showcasing to franchisees how the flagship business is run. 

 

Mateenbar

Concord, NC | 102,625 sq. ft. | Completed 2021

After many years of producing extraordinary projects in the Northeast, and with the expansion into North Carolina, Claris’ Charlotte office was looking to bring the same proven process to help the southeast region.

In 2021, Claris produced a 102,625 SF Manufacturing upfit and 8,874 office addition. Claris designed and built the project, Mateenbar, with the future in mind as the owner had planned to expand his team, as well as increase production in the future. With a collaborative effort of both owner and Claris, the project included an office addition, three additional storage buildings, and upfitting of the warehouse into a manufacturing facility.

“Claris provided a turnkey solution for our plant upfit facilitating a remote start up over Covid. This included a 2-story office addition, multiple unique storage buildings and extensive sitework including a stream restoration collaborating with the Army Core of Engineers. As we have upscaled our business, we have needed additional support for paving, storage, and expansion. Claris continued to support us every step of the way delivering a high standard within tight deadlines and budgets.” -

Nick Crofts, CEO, Mateenbar

 

North American Motor Car

Danbury, CT | 60,000 sq. ft. | Completed 2022

One of the benefits of working with Butler steel are the different approaches that can be taken to accommodate a client’s vision, or an architect’s drawing. One example of innovative designs was with North American Motor Car, which was completed in the Fall of 2022. The client was looking to create a classic car restoration and storage facility with a bit of a modern twist. Claris developed two separate buildings. The first would serve as an approximately 28,000 SF two-story classic car restoration facility on the first floor, where cars can be painted, customized, or brought back to their original charm. The second floor holds additional office space and a meeting room that overlooks the showroom. Meanwhile, the 32,000 SF second building is a classic car storage facility holding a total of 270 vehicles, stacked 3-high.

This modern, yet retro, design is just one example of the possibilities a design firm can create with Butler.

“They actually listened, they came back with a rendering, and I was just blown away. It was exactly what I had in my mind, it had kind of a retro, modern feel from a design perspective.”

Chris Bishop, CEO & Owner, North American Motor Car
