The lobby features a 4,325 sq. ft., multi- elevation, crosspiece backer wood grille ceiling. It looks like custom millwork but, in fact, it’s comprised of 643 prefabricated wood grille panels and 15 pieces of trim. “The interior is expansive. It’s a deep space, ” said Andrea Bellon, the project interior designer at ZGF Architects. “One device to keep it feeling airy was to use a wood trellis inside. ” CHALLENGES RESOLVE
