DESIGN
Inside, a modern design aesthetic mirrors the curvilinear form of the exterior and is filled with creative lighting, focal points, bright colors, and warm woods that counterplay with the crisp neutrals of the building palette.
ENGINEERING
For maximum flexibility, the structure is made with a universal grid structural system. The cube is wrapped on two sides with fritted glass, while baffles provide shade to the east & west to control heat transfer while admitting natural light.
