B.Labs
An interior precedent for transparent life-science workplace design by Strada Architecture LLC, balancing enclosed meeting spaces with open research labs using full-height glazing.
- What we like about this project
- Continuous horizontal banding across the glass unifies the separate conference and lab partitions.

- Geometry
- Rectangular glazed conference enclosure nested within a larger open laboratory floorplate, establishing clear zones for meeting and research.
- Structural guess
- Commercial concrete floor slab with non-loadbearing demising partitions.
- Spatial scale
- Standard commercial floor-to-ceiling height; intimate meeting table scale set against a large open lab wing.
- Lighting
- Recessed linear slot fixtures in the ceiling provide even, ambient illumination paired with task lighting and screen glow.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, clean, and collaborative, with warm accents breaking up clinical laboratory tones.
- Environmental context
- Commercial interior office and laboratory setting with distant urban views through perimeter glazing.
- Spatial experience
- Visual transparency extends from the carpeted meeting room through the glass partitions into the bright, utilitarian lab zones.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal fritted lines on glass partitions echo the linear ceiling lights and screen widths.
