Lighton Tower

INFO

A property management group reached out to us with the intent to spice up one of their property’s existing plaza space. Their office towers were built in the 1980’s so in addition to a fresh update, they wanted a functional overflow space for employees to eat lunch or have social gatherings. Our design had a couple iterations but the intent to introduce new materials in a new way never changed. Our design included a pergola structure, which provided a sculptural element to anchor the space. The large skyscrapers were previously the only vertical elements, in strong contrast with parking lots and large flat lawns. There were no elements to human-scale so our pergola structure makes the area inviting and grounds the space next to such a large building. While crafted out out of metal, the criss-crossing pieces feel as light and airy as a bird’s nest, despite the large scale and heavy-duty material. The pergola is almost like a tree canopy and provides a organic contrast to the architectural buildings. Our design also includes overflow to sit and eat, as well as a serving counter and grill station for larger group gatherings. We introduced in a geometric, perimeter overflow water feature that provided white noise and repeated a cube shape throughout the project. The seating areas are dilineated through use of different materials so the large area isn’t one solid, blanketed space. Geolam composite, under the pergola, softens the pergola area and repeats in the fencing material.
