Expansive glass atrium with interior trees
A corporate atrium precedent by Brewer Smith Brewer Group, combining a monumental glazed envelope with large-scale indoor planting and an iconic central triangular form.
- What we like about this project
- A massive sculptural triangular mass rises directly from the polished stone floor, integrating building services behind slatted louvers.

- Geometry
- A massive multi-story atrium defined by a soaring glazed facade and an overhead diagrid glass roof, anchored by a prominent triangular central volume.
- Facade system
- Multi-story structural glass curtain wall with steel framing and overhead diagrid skylights.
- Structural guess
- Steel diagrid roof structure supported by heavy steel columns and composite core framing.
- Spatial scale
- Monumental scale; multi-story volume with full-grown trees standing several levels high.
- Lighting
- Bright, even daylight filtering through high glass roofs and perimeter curtain walls, casting sharp shadows on polished stone floors.
- Atmosphere
- Luminous, air-filled, and serene despite the immense structural scale.
- Environmental context
- Large-scale urban commercial interior with integrated indoor planting simulating an exterior plaza.
- Spatial experience
- A grand, light-filled public interior that merges indoor landscape with monumental corporate scale, creating a transitional garden-like environment.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical mullion grids contrast with the diagonal geometry of the roof and central triangular pavilion.
