Shamrock East Campus – Overland Park, KS

Shamrock East Campus is one of our favorite recent architectural photography projects in Kansas City. Located at 94th & Metcalf, the building is the first of numerous buildings to be constructed as HQs for Shamrock Trading Corporation, the parent company for a family of brands in transportation services, finance and technology.

We would like to thank Bell/Knott & Associates’ lead architect, Justin Murray, who commissioned our work, and brought along additional clients. The lead designer, Kate, really knocked it out of the park with the creative and contemporary finishes!

We were also proud to work with Shamrock Trading Corporation, JE Dunn Construction, Gibbens Drake Scott Inc., FSC, Inc., Scott Rice Office Works, Seal-O-Matic Paving Company and (soon) U.S. Engineering.

Below are exterior images which we captured using the 24′ Manfrotto tripod which captures high res images from an elevated anglem which adds great grandeur to the building.

The interior spaces were ready for photography in January 2021. There are 2 lobbies to greet visitors: one at the south entrance and a grand 2-story open lobby at the north entrance. The ground level also includes a large fitness center and deluxe conference room. The colors and textures used throughout the building are truly exceptional.

Scott Rice Office Works supplied most of the office furniture and their team is always a pleasure to work with. Many times they furnish the buildings we capture, and they get to select from proofs for licensing. We have also worked with them on 8 other projects including the Johnson County Courthouse, Community America Bank and numerous education projects.

The break spaces are excitingly contemporary and were a thrill to capture. How refreshing compared to office buildings of the past! We have photographed and seen many buildings, and this is one of our favorites ever.

In some of the images, we featured people moving throughout the space to capture human connection to the space and to show scale. Justin Murray and Kait Smith are captured in the above image.

In the above image, the middle lighting sconce was not lit, so we fixed that, and we also removed strong color casts on the ceiling coming from the blue and green on the floor. It was a night & day difference once the ceiling was white again!

We appreciate the many connections that Justin Murray made for us to project partners. It was exciting to work with Jeff Kling with GDS Engineering to explore and capture the mechanical systems of the building and hear about how everything works to keep the building running.

The most exciting part about this project is that it’s not done yet! We will be back this spring for beautiful drone images and to also capture the breathtaking rooftop terrace on the southwest corner of the 8th floor. #StayTuned
