GIBSON GUITAR DESIGN BUILD | 1894 ORVILLE WAY
GIBSON GUITTAR
377u
The development proposed in this submittal is intended to increase
the output of an already highly productive manufacturing facility.
Not only will the expansion double the number of guitars being
produced at the factory, but it will also greatly improve the
quality of working life for employees. The additional amenities
include updated interior and exterior break spaces as well as
a new daycare.

GIBSON GUITAR DESIGN BUILD | 1894 ORVILLE WAY
GIBSON GUITTAR
377u
From the conception of this project, our design team has been
focused on providing the utmost in quality for the users of the
building, and the production of Gibson Guitar. We are striving
to provide a functional space that accommodates the needs of
manufacturing while simultaneously creating a pleasing
addition to an industrial zone. This effort can be seen in the
composition of the building, the massing, and the materials
as well as the amenities provided by the project. We are looking to
strategically utilize structure and materials to create an attractive
building addition as well as efficiently use the existing building to
accommodate much of the program.
design intent
The proposed site is zoned M-1 with a 20’ front setback and with
3’ setbacks at rear and side. The design is utilizing a Landscape
block frontage at both Orville Way and Simmental Way. The
footprint of the building is determined by the streamlined
manufacturing process on the interior with specific attention
being paid the entrances and to facade treatments that address
the pedestrian scale.
These areas will host intentional landscaping as well as
material treatments that are intended to buffer the building
entrances from Orville Way and Simmental Way. In addition,
outdoor spaces are provided adjacent to the entrances with
overhead canopies providing weather protection. The primary
entrance for the public will be on Simmental Way while the
employees can enter the building from the south off of
Orville Way.
Most building utility services are provided at the north facade, but
some will be screened on the roof of the existing building behind the
new addition to minimize the impact these facilities. Purposeful
relief at the building facade tucks these services away from
pedestrian view points at the sidewalk. All utilities in the building
are utilizing existing lines to service the building.

While understanding that the project exists in an industrial zone, our
material treatments will add a level of intention and interest to the
existing building and the entirity of Simmental. The primary building
material will be a variety of metal panels to create textural interest
while maintaing a level of efficiency for building construction. The
project will also host a volume of either wood or wood look metal
for additional articulation on the main facade to the South. The new
addition as well as the updates to the existing building will have
a combination of vision glass and metal panels. The design will
also be utlizing clerestories of Kalwall, a semi translucent insulated
panel, to allow natural light into the spaces while restricting direct
light.
MATERIAL CONTEXT
The proposed plan is designed with 48,225 square feet of space
for use. According to the City of Bozeman regulations, 1 space is
required per 1,000 sf plus 1 additional spot per 2 employess on a
maximum working shift. The the building design accommodates
119 parking spaces, one for each 1000 sf and to meet the need for
140 employees through both on and off-site parking. See the project
matrix for the proposed building design for more information on the
provided parking at the site.
