DESIGN NAME: 38 Newbury Street
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Broder Properties Office Suite
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for this renovated office suite was discovered when the existing ceiling was removed and a panel formed vaulted concrete structure was revealed. This moment of realization focused the ceiling as a main design feature and evoked an architecture of connectivity between spaces. At any point within the office suite, one remains visually connected to the design feature as well as the individuals utilizing the space.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: An open office plan in a historical building along Newbury Street was designed for a real estate development company. Select transparency between offices and clerestory glass was employed to allow visibility of the ceiling from multiple vantage points. LED uplighting highlighted the unexpected design feature. Additional acoustic treatments such as wall panel office dividers, soft surfaces and carpeting were used to address acoustic issues of the hard concrete ceiling surfaces.
