Entry

Immediately upon entry, a visitor encounters the large floor to ceiling windows that encircle the building. A large theatrical drape shrouds storage off to the left.

Staging Area

A new poured concrete floor coheres with the surrounding concrete structure. The existing structural ceilings were left exposed and uplight by two continuous fixtures.

Open Office

A series of desks line the interior wall, sharing the daylight of the central staging space. More indirect lighting is incorporated at the walls and ceilings.
