This existing 7 story, 96 unit full-service luxury residential building in NOHO needed a fresh look and that all starts with the lobby.  The lobby was reconfigured to add a package room and sleek new desk as well as increased ceiling heights, modern detailing, new wall covering, and new tile floor.  Adjacent to the old lobby was an abandoned retail space that we converted into an amenity space for the residents to study or to come together for small events which now comes fully equipped with a pantry, restroom, TV seating area as well as booth seating, a wired communal table and lounge seating.  The spaces are tied together directly by a sliding glass door which can be closed for private events and aesthetically by the neutral material palette and clean details that flow from the lobby to the lounge.  This strong design sensibility is to be carried into the elevator cabs, corridors, and other building amenities throughout the building.
