Natural Daylight
We rid the space of interior office partitions and designed an open layout so that everyone can enjoy natural daylight.

Sustainable Strategies
The reception lobby and conference room have been visually connected by adding floor to ceiling glass walls wrapped in a custom designed salvaged wood wall.
The wall detail is repeated in a common corridor that also acts as a bike rack encouraging people to bike to work.

Materials & Furniture
APMonarch established relationships with local manufacturers and artists to furnish the space with low to no VOC materials and furniture.
“Sustainability was our goal and APMonarch was immensely helpful during our renovation.”
