The inspiration for this 17 000 square foot real-estate office came from the hills that surround it. The space is filled with low-res mountains and valleys. Triangular marble facets form “cliffs” which line the walls and reach up through the double volume space. The theme is continued on the floor with intricate, irregularly sized triangular inlays creating a space ages mosaic. Sharp cuts in the cliff face, like fissures in a mountain side lead to a cave-like staircase. From the ceiling, long LED lights hang. These lights are said to be inspired by rain, and one can easily imagine the streaks of light formed by falling drops in a midnight thunderstorm. Custom-made bronze reception desks are scattered around like chunks of ore.
While the space is imbued with the monolithic and timeless spirit of stone, there is a certain dynamism to the design. the high ceilings create a feeling of airiness balanced with the subdued color palette and high level of finishing.
