In this part of the ground floor a double height, banking floor awkwardly abuts single height office space. Our plan arranges glass front offices in two fanning series that look out over open work stations to merge with the tall space. Terrazzo floor panels accentuate the new geometry and lessen the difference between the high and low spaces. A structural glass conference room, illuminated from within, is the centerpiece.
