The Client's Need:
How to create a defined entry to laboratories from the hospital, while utilizing precious infill space.
The Process:
Make a conference room, that when not in use can give the sense of expanded lobby space. Curtains can be drawn when conferences are in session.
The Result:
Lovely existing brickwork was emphasized by placing a skylight over and a planter in front. The skylight also signified entry. Use of curved glass and glass entry gave a sense of openess to a very small lobby.
