We recently finished retrofitting a building where construction had been stalled
for over 30 years, and which had originally been designed for residences. The
result was quite aesthetically interesting, and one of the floors was acquired by
a law firm that works on major cases but has few associates. This made it
ossible to create a fluid space with a generous library, in which we sought to
soften the weight of the books with a lightweight structure suspended off the
floor. Multiple elements are suspended here, for that matter, practically
floating: associates’ desks, the library, and even the reception desk. I believe
that these elements play an interesting counterpoint to the appropriate degree
of austerity suggested by the client. That austerity, meanwhile, comes forth in
the choice of marble for the floor, the darker-hued woods, the jacaranda and
Brazilian ironwood furniture, and the greige of the few walls that are left bare,
as well as in the selection of the upholstery.
