A world leader in international education, EF Education First is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. EF’s new headquarters building, designed by Sweden’s Wingårdhs Architecture Studio, makes a bold statement at North Point Park, with a jagged slice through the building façade evoking images of ice and water cascading to the ground to dissolve into the waters of the adjacent Charles River canal.
PCA was selected to create a restaurant adjacent to the main lobby that interprets and adapts the design aesthetic established by the architects. To comply with public space requirements, the restaurant was to offer access to additional seating on the second floor, above an intermediary parking level.
