A+I / Perkins&Will

Based in New York, A+I / Perkins&Will designs corporate headquarters and breakout interiors defined by continuous surface millwork, reflective spatial doubling, and saturated monochromatic thresholds that integrate indoor greenery into built hardscapes. It serves as a strong reference when detailing jointless wall-to-ceiling timber slats, specifying flush acoustic hardware within dynamic geometries, or balancing high-reflection surfaces with planted lounge environments.

Commercial lobby featuring a central glowing pixelated staircase, dark steel columns, and timber slat ceiling by A+I / Perkins&Will.

Commercial lobby

A corporate tower lobby precedent featuring a digitally active central staircase and contrasting rich materials—ideal for studying large-scale commercial arrival spaces.

What we like about this project
Individual stair treads double as a dynamic color-shifting pixel display screen.

Lighting
High-contrast commercial lighting combining recessed downlights, cove washes along wood ceilings, and vivid self-illuminated stair treads.
Atmosphere
Active, luminous, and professional with dramatic material contrast between dark structural steel and glowing digital elements.
Environmental context
Indoor corporate tower lobby with large perimeter glass looking out to an urban streetscape.
Spatial experience
A grand, active arrival sequence where visitor flow converges toward a brightly illuminated central stair element.
Composition rhythm
Symmetrical central stair flanked by heavy rhythmic vertical columns and horizontal ceiling slats.
