IwamotoScott Architecture: One Kearny Lobby

A lobby entrance defined by a modular ceiling with a series of tapered cone-shaped ‘coffers’ housing LED lights, in San Francisco.

 A series of diamond-shaped translucent wood coffers define the main lobby entrance, acting as a lighted modular ceiling. Projecting the language of coffers’ angled surfaces, a series of faceted surfaces move from the reception desk, to the walls that lead to the elevators at the end of a tapered and inflected hallway.’                                                                       Each coffer is made by folding a translucent wooden veneer into a diamond-shape.
