For this office building lobby renovation, Powell’s goal was to transform the primary public space of a new creative office building into a warm and inviting environment that exudes a hospitality-like ambiance. We focused on creating a welcoming atmosphere by incorporating natural materials, such as wood and stone, and soft, warm lighting to enhance the sense of comfort. The design features modern, inviting built-in banquette seating with plush seating to encourage relaxation and informal meetings. We also introduced greenery and biophilic design elements to bring a touch of nature indoors, creating a calming effect. Art and books were specially curated for the different micro-environments in the lobby, ensuring that it is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional. The result is a lobby that feels more like a boutique hotel than a traditional office, creating an welcoming environment for both employees and visitors alike.
