| In
the high-profile, high-stakes realm of American finance, it's essential
for analysts and traders to have facilities as state-of-the-art as
their strategies. When one of the country's leading financial
institutions needed a new trading facility in the Southeast, they
selected architects Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), a renowned
architecture, interiors, engineering, and planning firm, for both the
architecture and interiors of the project. According to a bank
executive, the new facility needed to make people "as productive...
[and] happy as possible..." and not make them "...feel like [they're]
sitting in one room all day." In response, SOM used expanses of glass
to open the room to compelling views and maximize the daylight
throughout the space. Working with Hunter Douglas' Nysan division,
architects at SOM also created dramatic shading elements to control the
light in the room. More> |
