Project Strategy
Our concept began with a study of the neighborhood, the dynamic Fulton Market. The space is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, so one is surrounded by natural light, downtown views, urban living, and the constant movement of the former industrial district. A sophisticated, neutral palette creates a clean backdrop for gentle nods to the neighborhood’s existing industrial character such as exposed concrete, metal, knurled handles, and brick-laid subway tile. The aesthetic is truly a celebration of the floor. The goal was to create a well-functioning space for Tarkett’s employees while offering a welcoming environment for industry partners. We wanted to ensure there was a comfortable place for guests to meet and work throughout the day while offering a change of posture and atmosphere.
