Completion
Date: April 2012
When you are
working with a company with retail stores all over the world, it is imperative
to have a strong office to back it up. The
Luxottica Group is known as a leader in premium fashion, luxury and sports
eyewear. This exciting project is an
interior space of 30,000 square feet of the existing building, as well as, an
entire renovation of the façade.
The interior
space includes two floors for 40 corporate offices, a spacious cafeteria,
meeting rooms, open offices, and two large bullpen areas on both floors. The layout is well thought-out and designed
to produce a highly efficient work environment.
The lobby entrance is a contemporary design with sleek, clean lines and
an inviting feel. Planes of stainless
steel, glass walls, neutral colors of dark grey and white with a bold red
accent create the space. This red accent
is carried through to the new exterior of the building, as a perforated metal
panel over aluminum composite panels.
The majority of the façade is a curtain wall over 20 feet high, and aluminum
composite panels frame the elevation.
This new contemporary design will benefit our clients’ needs greatly, as
well as bring architecture into the community.
