Sparkomatic Headquarters Addition

The project scope is to design an addition to the existing office and manufacturing headquarters for the Sparkomatic Corporation. The original building was designed by Myron Goldfinger in 1978.
Founded in 1953, Sparkomatic is a USA-based manufacturer of car audio products. Their primary products are automotive speakers, tape players, radios and other audio accessories. By the mid-1970s the company becomes known for their car audio products and accessories, though they continue to sell other non-audio accessories.
The project remains unbuilt.
