PROJECT AMA Architects
Creating a sense of community
The expansive floor plate envelops a dignified atrium, which has been thoughtfully reimagined with new materials and an exquisite acoustic ceiling. A bespoke mobile lighting feature, suspended from a sleek underslung steel structure, adds a touch of sophistication, illuminating the heart of this vibrant space.
Rich timber cladding, soft wall textures, and perimeter LED lighting coalesce to foster an inviting atmosphere, enhancing the office environment’ s character. Every facet of this refurbishment has been crafted with care, including the elegantly upgraded restrooms, which feature mirrors, wall panelling, and large-format tiles that exude refinement.
The strategically placed glazing throughout the atrium maintains a dynamic connection between the floors, encouraging vertical engagement and fostering a sense of community. This inherent spatial intelligence nurtures interactions among occupants and visitors alike.
