The inherent configuration of the building core and limited slab-to-slab height challenged the design team to achieve the client’s goals of increased height, logical layout, and upgraded finishes in the building lobby. The modified building canopy and new entry focused on connecting the building lobby with the street outside by extending the exterior canopy into the lobby and replacing the existing heavy storefront system with a completely frameless glass system that removed all visual barriers between the lobby and outside and allowed for a dramatic increase in natural light in the lobby. The interior design of the lobby focused on using refined, high end materials while remaining stylistically neutral so as not to project the building’s identity on to the building tenants.
