ARCHITECTURE with People in Mind
This 6700-square-foot, tenant improvement sought to maintain the spatial qualities of the 1960's-era former bank, while bringing about a new use as an architecture firm’s office and also updating the overall appearance. Care was taken in the details, such as lighting fixture selection, to make reference to the modernism of the original building.
The former bank lobby has been transformed into an open studio space for 35 workstations and the reception area. New light-steel stairs connect the studio to an upper gallery. Within the gallery, a new display wall following the existing curve has been erected to provide space for local art exhibitions.
