Veneer Panels | Private Wealth Asset Management

Being the first tenant lease on the floor, their entrance has a prominent position, immediately adjacent to the elevator lobby. It was important to make a statement, which ended up being made through the repetitive use of wood veneer panels across the ceiling and walls. The extensive use of a linear pattern successfully executed a stunning fist-impression look for visitors. One of the influencing factors weighing into the design approach was balancing the urban, industrial neighborhood with the high-caliber work of the financial company. The company is committed to delivering outstanding results for their clients and helping them reach their goals. The lightly stained red oak material softens and warms the hard surrounding materiality. It signifies a sense of exclusivity. One of the great features of the building is the high floor-to-floor height. This allowed the design concept to come to life. 2-foot wide planks systematically step 4-inches higher, south to north. The concept is an extraction from compounding financial graphs and building wealth over the course of time. Multiple trades work together for the execution, including the electrician, steel subcontractor, and paneling fabricator. On-site meetings were held with the general contractor and paneling fabricator to talk through intricacies of the installation like termination points. In the ceiling, custom printed sprinkler heads blend away and complimentary LED linear lighting is spread throughout. Air diffusers and speakers are integrated. On the feature wall, the panels were screwed into the wall and fastening hardware was filled. This method of installation allows the owner to adjust the cities for future changes. Similarly, the black metal panels below are designed to be popped off and replaced or modified for the states. The extensive planning and constant communication provided a fulfilling result. The whole designed moment of the wood veneer material greatly sophisticates the space, while indirectly showcasing the high-quality work their company performs.
