Our solution was to pursue a design of “temporary permanence”—using inexpensive materials in elevated ways. Drawing on color inspirations from various cities in the world where this firm has a presence, we used furniture and graphics on bare concrete walls and floors to tell the story. With each floor of this multiple-floor project representing a different city, the palette shifted up and down the elevator, but the overarching theme remained consistent: bringing the urban environment indoors. As in a city street the mix of raw surfaces with sophisticated visual cues extends throughout the project.
