Roxana Miu - Kilroy Liberty Station

The design concept blends historical elements with modern functionality to create a refined simplicity juxtaposed with textural intrigue. Approach to renovation included trimming out the ornamentation, reshaping the staircase, adding a new recessed glass baluster, reshaping appearance of the main tenant entries, and opening up the ground floor to function as an alternative work space for all tenants.

By using materials of various patterns and textures, contrasting colors, layers of light sources, reshaping the ceilings geometry, and creating a custom art installation to connect the two-stories, the renovated lobby provides an inviting, dynamic and inspiring gathering place for all tenants regardless of age and demographic.

The exterior patio wood decking on posts lays over the footprint of four parking spaces surrendered by lush planters. A new concrete ramp cuts through the existing planter and connects the main walk-way to and from the building with the patio. A variety of furnishings were selected to accommodate any sitting preference.
