Overview

The project at Innovation Place entailed a series of renovations within the Atrium Building to create a cohesive and upgraded aesthetic for public spaces. Inspired by the existing coy pond, the design scheme became subtly infused with Japanese elements. 

The existing lounge was redesigned into a warm, appealing space through the use of bamboo, dark brown leathers, green table tops, a backlit shoji wall and paper lanterns. Different types of seating was introduced to allow for quiet breaks, small meetings and functions. 

The shoji-style sliding doors act as a continuation of the atrium when open, while also providing an appropriate acoustic barrier between the two spaces when closed.
