American Licorice

La Porte, IN

In order to meet their growing needs, American Licorice decided to partner with the Design/Build team of Facet Architecture and Larson-Danielson Construction to transform an outdated portion of the former Whirlpool Corporation building in La Porte into modern office space.

The 18,000-square-foot renovation converted previously abandoned offices into an open, collaborative workplace designed to support both productivity and employee wellness. The updated layout includes lounge areas, yoga rooms, and quiet rooms that provide flexible spaces for work and relaxation. A large kitchen and cafeteria space, featuring a ping-pong table and direct access to an outdoor patio and garden, creates a central gathering area for employees. This corporate office renovation demonstrates how thoughtful workplace design can revitalize existing space while supporting company culture and team collaboration.
