An interior lobby precedent demonstrating the dramatic combination of board-formed concrete massing, a deeply coffered ceiling with integrated linear lighting, and transparent floor-to-ceiling glazing opening to a water landscape.
- What we like about this project
- The complex array of thin linear light fixtures floating beneath the deep concrete coffers acts almost like a secondary suspended ceiling plane.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical grand volume featuring a deep coffered concrete ceiling overhead, tall vertical glass curtain wall spans the entire rear elevation, and dark stone floor tiles anchor the ground plane.
- Facade system
- Full-height structural steel-mullioned glass curtain wall with a glazed vestibule box.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame structure encased or complemented by cast-in-place concrete walls and waffle/coffered slab.
- Spatial scale
- Double-height grand volume with towering glass panels and an expansive ceiling canopy.
- Lighting
- Warm, layered artificial illumination from a dense grid of suspended linear pendant fixtures, complemented by soft ambient daylight filtering through the glass curtain wall.
- Atmosphere
- Solemn, meditative, and warm, balancing heavy monolithic concrete with delicate rhythmic lines of light.
- Environmental context
- Interior public lobby facing an exterior landscaped lake and bridge across water.
- Spatial experience
- A monumental yet grounded vestibule where heavy board-formed concrete walls give way to panoramic views of a tranquil reflecting pool outside.
- Composition rhythm
- Strict bilateral symmetry centered on the glass entryway and framed by vertical mullions and repeating ceiling coffers.
