Watch an Old DUMBO Coffee Warehouse Transform Into West Elm's New HQ

DUMBO, BROOKLYN — Ever wonder what all these transformations of old DUMBO or Navy Yard warehouses into a slick, modern office and retail buildings look like from the inside? Thanks to Curbed New York's video team, we now know (sort of) what it took for the West Elm furniture magnates to turn that gorgeous old Arbuckle Bros. coffee warehouse at 2 Main St. into their new corporate headquarters (plus local storefront).

Watch and weep — or drool, depending on your feels about this kind of thing.

You can also read more about the transformation of 2 Main St. — from West Elm's point of view, at least — on the company's website.
