LOBBY DESIGN

Corporate and residential lobby design in NYC

Our goal was to conceptualize a peaceful residential lobby with direct access to the elevator, using natural materials to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Rich wood paneling and built-in seating add comfort and texture, while polished Calacatta marble flooring enhances the space with its refined, reflective surface. Floor-to-ceiling glass draws in natural light and opens the space to the surrounding greenery, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the outdoors

CORPORATE DESIGN OF THE MONTH

NO. 6

This residential lobby embodies serene minimalism with a warm, welcoming touch. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with soft natural light, creating gentle shadows that shift throughout the day. A sculptural wooden reception desk serves as the focal point, offering a quiet elegance that complements the space’s calm atmosphere. Two rounded white lounge chairs provide cozy seating, their organic forms echoing the softness of home. A leafy indoor tree and a small potted plant add natural vibrancy, while polished concrete floors and vertical wood slat detailing bring texture and warmth. The overall effect is a tranquil, sophisticated entryway that feels both refined and inviting.
