Okay, maybe not quite yet, but in about a month we will be.
WE ARE MOVING!
Nothing drastic, mind you, at least in terms of distance. We’re moving about 15 blocks West on King Street to occupy a two story building about a block from the Old Town (King Street) Metro stop. It’s the first time we’ll be easily accessible via public transit. Something we’re pretty happy about.
The reason for the move is that we’re unable to grow in our current space. 680 Square feet just isn’t comfortable when there are seven or eight people occupying it on a regular basis. It’s been a nice problem to have, but it’s a better one to resolve.
So…
We’re getting a 2400 square foot space. It’s near the US Patent and Trade Office, countless law offices, many of the larger non-profits in Alexandria, a great local coffee shop, a not-too-shabby non-local coffee shop, a handful of hotels, the Masonic Temple, and some pretty good eats.
The picture above shows our front entrance (at the left of the larger pic) with the bulk of our building located on the right side of that picture. Note the presence of a large flight of stairs. It wouldn’t be Stokefire without it. (Even when we get our own building we still can’t enter it from the ground floor. Every Stokefire office has had at least one flight of steps to get in.)
Here are a few shots of the interior, taken before repainting and carpeting takes place. Lots of light, room to grow, nice dungeon/basement/alligator pit/time-out room and a pretty decent kitchen.
We’re truly excited to get moving. Thanks to our clients past and present for allowing us to grow as you did, and for encouraging us to branch out.
And thanks to all you blog readers for attending the compulsory painting party in a couple weeks, too.
Tom Sawyer ain’t got nuthin’ on us.
(Except we think he might’ve had furniture. Anyone got 2400 square feet worth of minimalist designer furniture laying around that we can have?)
