This interior renovation of the Swiss-based Schindler Elevator Corporation transforms an existing 1970’s office building into a distinctive U.S. Headquarters, providing a healthy, secure, and sustainably designed workplace for its employees.
Schindler’s objective was to create an environment that expressed the minimal and purist aesthetics of its Swiss engineering heritage. Inspired by contemporary art that utilizes light and color to illustrate space and movement, our design creates a series of one-point perspective arrangements that abstractly explore motion and displacement.
Simple light arches and red surfaces create an unadorned environment of light and color that is dynamic and minimal. Precise trimless detailing conveys the highly engineered heritage of the Corporation.
