AI Office Park - Phase I

AIA NOVA Award of Excellence, 2021  (Commercial Architecture)

U+ Design Partners - 2018

Projects

For the AI Park Phase I Project, our team decided to take a unique approach to the Interior Public Space Design that would capture elements of the exterior concepts and invite this language into the interior environment, hence sparking a conversation between the two. In order to accomplish this goal, "Nature" has provided a strong focal point and guide post for our design methodology. With it's tactile, gentle relationships that ignore the confines of enclosure, the team had much to draw from. 

With this intention, the team chose to employ deeply thoughtful concepts with simple architectural solutions. In this way, natural light is captured to its greatest extent while accent lighting is asked to further infuse the interior spaces with a dynamic presence. A visitor may expect to enter a pristine space which celebrates entry and movement with contrasting natural materials that are punctuated with moments of surprise and interest.
