Garage Elevator Lobby
Healing starts in the elevator lobby where the serenity of the back-lit glass wall envelopes you. This futuristic feel helps create a sense that this is the most modern facility available. Fluorescent strips at base of wall are accessible with removable panel in toe-kick.

Entry Lobby
Floor markers mimic the rhythm of ceiling slots and slots paired with downlights create dot/dash pattern in the ceiling, defining circulation zone and drawing the visitor through to adjacent waiting and reception areas. The ceiling slots, using simple fluorescent strips concealed in coves, create a sense of overhead skylights in the wood ceiling. Visually striking and inexpensive at the same time. Fluorescent fixtures are energy efficient, use standard lamps and are low maintenance, addressing primary client concerns.
