The storage area presented a unique design challenge because of the large industrial supplies that need to be quickly accessible by a crane truck at all times. Their solution was to create a modular wall that protects the equipment inside, improves the visual look of the facility and permits easy access. The exterior facade is made out of perforated steel plates, which minimize wind loads, and permit interior views while maintaining a consistent, clean look.

Explains the Zoybar site: Think of the Zoybar platform as a hardware version that might be similar to the Firefox browser concept. Independent developers could create new add-ons and plugins (sound effects) that will become relevant to the whole Zoybar users and community.

The customizable nature of the design allows you to rearrange your seating set up depending on your mood and needs.
