Role: Interior Designer

Project Type: Renovation of a Mid-Century Office Building

Project Goals: To honor the context of the original building in a modernized fashion, wood elements, mid-century furniture and atomic era lighting accentuate the architecture while the iconic Dick Clark “Pop Up Roof” brings in a unique and contemporary touch. The exterior elements fold into the interior, utilizing soft grey tones with wood inspired doors and millwork. The textural exterior is mimic’d through wavy carpeting and rich textiles while pops of blue complement the wood tones. The interior workings were reconfigured from the original design to better enhance function, views and work flow. The use of natural daylight and views are amplified through lining the private offices along the exterior windows while the interior core is reserved for operations, resulting in smooth circulation throughout. Each private desk was custom configured by interviewing the users for their individual preferences to enhance personal comfort and ownership.
