September 2019 \ BUILDING DIALOGUE \ 59 4. The lounge is located at the heart of the suite, and is designed to be a comfort- able retreat from private work areas. It is on the perimeter and is equipped with a full break area, inviting seating and a grand island for gathering and exchang- ing information. With the goal for the entire office to be visually transparent, the long window behind the kitchen bar allows for those working in the production room to be part of the lounge and see the mountain view. The lounge has seamlessly integrated AV and wireless technology to promote different workstyles. 5. The perimeter windows on the 39th floor are 13-foot clear, which was one of the pri- mary drivers for Petrie to select this space. To celebrate the broad volume of the space and capitalize on the remarkable views, the office fronts were designed to be the maximum glass height possible at 11 feet, which was only restricted by the size of the freight elevator. Bronze u-channels are re- cessed into the floor and soffit in order to help them disappear, and refined 1/8-inch bronze-colored caulk joints express the careful attention to detail that is mani- fested throughout the entire office. 6. “God is in the details” – Mies van der Rohe The Petrie Logo is so beautiful and simple that the design team chose to showcase it with backlit bronze box letters against the dramatic backdrop of book-matched and mirrored tiger onyx slabs. The logo is on the east end of the suite and is directly on axis with the center of the gallery to give it prominence. The monumental onyx slabs were precisely positioned so that the vein- ing pattern radiates out directly from the center of the logo, emphasizing the brand and infusing it with energy.
