RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The mirror finished stainless steel mail boxes in the mail room, titanium ceiling plate in the elevator hall, and the black copper-free at the fitness/yoga area not only visually widened the space but blurred the physical boundary limits.
CHALLENGE: Grill pattern and mirror refection are the other two key elements to carry the out the designer's concept with practical purpose. The metal grill ceiling with wood finish at basement parking lot, the second floor fetidness/yoga room, and meeting room allow these common spaces to fit the fire safety code. Sprinkle system and smoke detector can hide within grills. But these also bring in the impression of pilled books.
