Client: Columbia University
Location: Columbia University HSD - Physiology Department
Size: 2,000 SF
Scope:
- Multipurpose space accommodating formal lectures and informal brain-storming sessions for the scientists
- Flexible furniture layout
- Corridor glass wall bringing natural light into the building’s interior
- High end finishes (ceiling, flooring, cabinetry)
- Projection system and computer stations
Services:
- Schematic Design
- Construction Documents
- Construction Administration
Notoriety:
The challenge was to create an interesting space to encourage open discussions. Our solution was to open the space by expanding it in all directions (glass corridor wall, high curved ceilings), and to use a combination of materials, such as glass, stainless steel and wood to create a friendly environment.
