Project Location Tarrytown, NY

Entry Description

For this Headquarters, we were challenged to design within a scientific design philosophy of color and form, while still meeting the more typical norms of aesthetics, lighting levels, and energy consumption. Decorative fixtures had to have multiple colors and be installed at varying heights; all must harken to micro-biology, physics, or DNA. Colors must dramatically occur with random patterns to keep the brain on its toes! This new pharmaceutical center creates a futuristic view of their place in society. Welcome to a brave new world, where common expectations are the nemesis of a fertile mind.
