Hover craftmanship



These images are of an office designed by Californian architects Konig Eizenberg Architecture for International multidisciplinary Engineers Thornton Tomasetti . Not a hint of  structural over kill here only a mighty creative use of a 'return' cantilever to elevate the reception desk and present the visitor with a subliminal nod to the occupiers profession. This is also followed through with the floor to ceiling pin board effect wall . On first impression it veers on appearing glitzy, which is an achievement in itself  especially as its elements are quite utilitarian  being 'safety caps for steel rebar', but the bright green matrix interwoven with silver letters is thoughtful ART in our book. See Inc.com for further calcs. and also view the architects website to admire their painterly web concept.
