Taking advantage of the project’s high ceilings, BIG increased the footprint by installing a new mezzanine floor. BIG worked with Studio GC to coordinate the build and aquire fire rating approval from the city. Alongside steel fabricators and engineers, BIG coordinated the slab structure placement required to effectively lay out the mezzanine floor.

The project is characterized by its  striking architectural features, including the heart of the space- a large glass atrium that now houses the practice’s conference room and learning center. BIG conducted a full evaluation of the facade, ultimately replacing all of the glass and glazing to ensure a water-tight finish and prevent leaks.
