“An essential feature of the office lobby space is the free form ceiling made of wood and bridge system that connects the hotel space above to the upper level of the pavilion structure. This feature continues the organic nature of the project into the office environment much the same way as the curved walls do for the residential entrance and public spaces. This highly sculpted feature becomes a landmark feature that differentiates this pavilion from all others.”

–Adrian Smith
