SIS SEATTLE OFFICE

This office design by Sander Architects is a TI project designed to bring high design to the offices of a design-savvy developer in an otherwise unremarkable, "bank-on-the-ground-floor" building. The radical-but-functional design is aimed at distinguishing the client from others in his field.

The fist design act involved the ceiling. We removd the suspended grid tiles, revealing an 11-foot height. We painted this a deep blue/black and hung criss-crossing low-voltage lights at 9 feet to create a constellation of lights, random enough to be unpredicatable but carefully placed to illuminate working surfaces.
