How we're reimagining the workday

Not Built to Scale

In a world chasing growth at all costs, one project in Hayward, Wisconsin, is taking a different path. Built for one town, not the next trend. The Lumber Exchange is not being built for rapid growth or replication. It’s being built for Sawyer County, its people, and the life they lead.

Reimagining the Workday

What if your workday felt less like a grind and more like the Northwoods, where work feels rooted, personal, and full of possibility? The Lumber Exchange is a new kind of destination for Hayward, designed for people who want their work to feel as authentic as their surroundings.
