About Amy’s Kitchen

Amy’s Kitchen is a fiercely independent family-owned business founded in Petaluma in 1987. They make a broad range of delicious and convenient meals, snacks, and soups made with organic and vegetarian ingredients. The project is an adaptive reuse of a historic building, updating an old department store and transforming it into a new HQ for Amy’s. The home concept was reinforced throughout with more public entertainment and collaborative space activating the ground floor and street level and more private workspace on the upper floors with visual connection throughout. The full seismic retrofit and mezzanine tie the existing fabric of the building together and provides additional floor area, and the addition of new windows brings natural light to all corners of the upper levels. The project serves as a sustainable model through adaptive reuse, energy-efficiency strategies, a commitment to source 100% renewable off-site energy, and low-impact materials.
