Two shipping containers turned on end flank the front door, cleverly forming an 11 while welcoming guests to Anagen 11. On the interior, a reclaimed wood ceiling, a multitude of pendant lighting and a custom 3-D front desk add to the bright, industrial charm.

Owner’s comment:
“We had the opportunity to design from the ground up and went through 80 different floor plans once we decided on the footprint for our building. Our focus was the flow, the experience and the atmosphere for all within our walls.”
