1.
Framed by a blackened steel channels, the reclaimed
wood feature in the elevator lobby extends from the
logo wall to the ceiling and simulates the look of
worn railroad ties. Intertwining steel rods take inspi-
ration from the nearby Millennium pedestrian bridge
that can be seen from the lobby. Concrete beams are
left exposed to showcase the building’s structure.
2.
The v-shaped stair suspends from exposed structur-
al concrete beams within an opening that intersects
the perpendicular lines of the curved building façade.
A three-story metal wall feature and custom light fix-
ture create an engaging experience as guests travel
through the space.
3.
The Junction break area was strategically located
at the base of the stair to encourage activity and en-
gage all users of the space. The reception is located on
the middle level and allows easy access to this space.
4.
The angles of the building are emphasized with a
lit brow above the offices along the building’s exterior.
The marble file bars contrast with the metal light fix-
tures to bring in elements of the historic Union Sta-
tion neighborhood that inspired the materiality and
finish execution throughout the space.
5.
The Conferencing Center features elements of the
main lobby within a different format. The space op-
erates as three conference rooms, or it can open up
into a large area with the use of operable partitions
and vertical lifts.
