The client had an ambitious goal: reimagining the lobby as a new type of space – a place to develop social and intellectual capital and to establish a new paradigm for the modern workplace. Work is no longer confined to the office, but takes place in coffee shops, around dining tables, on calls, and in huddles. The lobby was designed to respond to this vision of work and to offer a warm and sophisticated environment to welcome visitors. Four zones were created to respond to varying workstyles. Each zone acts as an eddy to capture guests for different uses, and includes custom lighting and furnishings.
