Architecture and design firm Stonehill & Taylor's recently expanded its office. Previously located on the 5th floor, the firm now also occupies the 6th floor of its building, where their design aesthetic seeks to embrace the elements of a casual sophistication while maintaining the appeal of modernism.
The new 6th floor is inspired by the graphic-meets-eclectic look. The front area, termed the "Hospitality Lounge," mixes a rustic-looking table, unique chandelier, and a feature wall manufactured by Modular Arts. The Hospitality Lounge, which includes both entryway and kitchenette, acts as the heart of the extended space, where staff members an meet for coffee, meet informally or have open client dialogue.
Off of the Hospitality Lounge there are two conference rooms, featuring Rimadesio doors. These doors were inspired by the visual language of the windows at the Crosby Hotel and the Press Hotel (two recent Stonehill & Taylor projects), and are metal mixed with glass. The combination allows light to pass through, while still providing privacy from the linear metal pattern.
The work studio, featuring white and gray paint, linear tables, and a neutral color palette, highlights the graphic elements in the design. An open floor plan and low level furniture allow for a more collaborative environment and also allow for light from the large windows to move through the space.
