Revit Lobby and Cefeteria

Revit Lobby and Cefeteria

This contemporary lobby is refreshing and welcoming to all who enter. With earthy colors, and beautiful architectural detail, the lobby is a feast for the senses. Designed with a sharp aesthetic, a full tile wall is behind the reception desk. Brown textured wallpaper gives the background needed with the custom elegant sconces on the wall. The rich geometrical patterned tile brightens the room against the dark walls. At this lobby, people are checked in for meetings, welcomed to take tours of the offices, or can give employees relief from their work to sit down. Its a lovely combination between grandeur and approachable charm, with a style that borrows contemporary while fitting into a modern design. The buildings cafe serves coffee and tea as well as pastries and snacks. The cozy atmosphere provides a place for one to sit and relax, take a break, or enjoy lunch. While the aroma of coffee and baked goods fill the air, the soft green hues from the walls compliment the natural brown hardwood floor. Plenty of transitional seating, accompanied by natural wood tables and high end comfortable chairs provide ample spaces for anyone who visits. A big source of light comes from the two walls of windows. On days where it may be overcast, plenty of light is given from the four ceiling mounted fixtures and four connected pendants that shape an S.
