The TENANT TENANT simple wrapping gesture consists of two complementary elements - side walls composed of thermally formed bands fl ow from the entry portal inward, and a metal fabricated facade that fl ows down the building’s face and into the ViSk TdaS interior. The reconfi guration of the lobby also AFTER allowed for an extra tenant space on Broadway.

The bands undulate as one moves through the space. Due to Corian’s material limitations and ease of constructability, we chose to regularize most of the panels into 6 forms. However, fully customized 3-dimensional panels were required for the curved corners. Each panel was thermally formed in the factory before arriving on site for installation.
