bayfront capitol
The façade of this project is defined by large louvers twisting elegantly towards the sky cutting through a sea of reflective glass panels. This wave-like motion pays homage to the client’s background in the shipping industry.
From the street, one can observe the twisting motion of the louvers which naturally brings the attention of the viewers upwards, emphasizing the height and scale of the project. The waves of the façade is carried on in the ceiling design of the lobby through the use of undulating louvers, rising and falling in an almost rhythmic pattern reminiscent of the ocean’s tides.
