The top floor (57th) of a high rise in downtown Cleveland had not been leased in the buildings 16 year history. With a floor plate of only 11,000 square feet, no expansion space and a small core to exterior wall dimension (due to the stepping of the buildings façade) the space would only appeal to a small percentage of tenants.
The client, an intellectual property attorney, determined in order to create the required densities, individual work areas would be modest in size compared to other attorney’s offices, however individual offices would have spectacular views. Since the program dictated an extremely concentrated private office use, the potential for a maze of corridors existed. Everything from the initial planning to detailing reduced the corridor feel and created vistas while expanding the space within the office. Originally the client wanted an extremely traditional office space – in their words “a roman bathhouse look”.
Visually the elevator lobby became part of the reception area by lengthening views. The glass enclosed conference room became an extension of the reception area. This allows for panoramic views from both the elevator lobby and reception area through the conference room.
Perimeter walls that separate offices from circulation spaces were constructed using clear aluminum frames with a combination of white laminated glass for visual privacy and clear glass above to extend the spaces in both directions. The same white laminated glass was incorporated into the workstation end panels. Care was taken throughout the design to make the space feel taller than the physical height. All rift cut oak doors are 3-0 x 10-6 to accentuate height within the space. Ceiling “domes” were incorporated within the reception area and the partner’s offices to not only act as large light fixtures, but to capture additional height between existing building systems (beams and mechanical duct work).
Slotted rift cut oak wood planes in the elevator lobby and conference room were used to expand and at the same time define the spaces. While acting as light fixtures, up lit acoustical tile floating planes within the work areas are separated by one foot gypsum board slots that house diffusers and speakers. The slots are painted navy blue to create the illusion of height while limiting the acoustical pads to a six foot width.
Thickened floor to ceiling rift cut oak walls define the reception area and screen adjacent work areas. The combination of four glass types and tiles, metallic paint, venetian plaster, clear aluminum frames, limestone floors, dark rift cut oak doors, accent walls and panels and planes create a “high tech classic atmosphere”. This concept was further defined through the selected furniture. Presently we are working with the client to select local artwork that will further enhance the space.
