DEEGAN GATEWAY
COMMERCIAL OFFICES project size: 36,000 SQ. FT. location:
The Commercial loft building is situated along the major Deegan Gateway and 140th Street. Coverting the structure into offices involved extensive improvements to the exterior and interior architecture. The interior scope includes tenant spaces, a marketing office, and multi-functioning main lobby space on the first level of the building. my design for the lobby included an inviting reception and lounge, business conference center, sundry shop with cafĂŠ, and employee fitness center. We were also attempting to achieve a LEED silver certification for this project.

SPACE PLANNING
GWB clouds at varying heights defines the axis from entry to the elevator lobby and creates a feeling of intimacy in the space. Space planning creates the illusion that the seating areas and reception have been carved in to volume. The placement of the desk provides great gatekeeping for users of the conference center. The cafĂŠ features banquette seating which creates a lounge atmosphere that encourages socializing after work.
