“It’s a classic modern industrial space, very architectural, very clean lines,” the architect explained. “It captures the loft feel but not in any sort of over glamorized way.”
He noted that he chose a “soft gray palette because of the thinking kind of work the foundation has to do. This isn’t a financial firm, a flashy kind of firm. It’s a serious work environment.”
Industrial touches include polished concrete floors, simple, black suspended light fixtures, and rough-hewn wooden high-top tables in the cafe and an open meeting area. Wood was used to inject warmth into the space, particularly in a large open lounge near the reception with wooden wall panelling and gray couches, and in a large boardroom that has dark wood tables and overhead suspended wood panels to help absorb sound.
