Known in the East End as the Knockout Factory, 5601 Navigation is a stunningly simple 20,000 SF warehouse. Metalab recently renovated a 5,000 SF portion of the building to serve as Houston Bike Share's HQ and workshop, and we have now begun the design phase for a non-profit to occupy the western 6,000 SF portion of the building. Throughout the building, the ceilings are celebrated for their inherent beauty: timber frame joists and wood decking span above the original riveted truss girders with 50 foot clear spans. Original street art on the back of the building will be kept in place as Metalab restores the train loading docks to enjoy views of the bayou.
