A wood-framed entry portal creates an immediate sense of arrival contrasted with figured stone finishes, walnut flooring, and sleek etched glass and bronze detailing for a warm and sophisticated environment. An adjacent hospitality bar and meeting lounge, connected to one of two board rooms, offers a convenient and casual space for collaboration. An extensive art collection–hand-selected by its art-loving CEO and thoughtfully highlighted by the design team–adds an eclectic and personal touch.

A design concept of tailored elegance takes cues from modern suiting, leveraging texture and layered materials to add depth and convey the brand’s client experience and attention to detail.

Programming maximizes the number of private offices to address the needs of C-suite executives responsible for national acquisitions and management. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide ample sunlight to perimeter offices while interior offices required more creative solutions, including the introduction of wall grazers and glass walls in the double-loaded corridors. Corridor finishes extend into office spaces to create an open, airy effect.
