Administration Offices, The Kirk Stieff Building. Baltimore, Maryland.

The interior renovation for 9,400 SF of the former silver factory building into offices and studios included plan reconfigurations for open and private offices, library, work room/pin up area, large and small conference rooms, administration/marketing suite, kitchen/break room, and award gallery walls. The lighting was developed for visual excitement in the space, and the mechanical system modified for the new plan.

A translucent sliding wall allows the large conference room and the work room/pin up area to be combined for dramatic client presentations and office-wide functions. A new spiral stair provides additional vertical circulation to the mezzanine and adds a sculptural element to the break room. Furnishings include a custom-built reception desk and workstations combined with off-the-shelf pieces for the lobby and lounge areas. Dynamic colors, patterns, and forms present a fresh image and enhance areas where natural light is limited.
