Status: Completed 1992
Mark Music, a sheet music distribution company, occupied an awkward space with two entries; the side employee entry situated at the threshold between the warehouse space and the offices. To express this in-between position, the redesign utilized a series of planes on the ceiling rising in the direction of the warehouse. A wall pierced by three windows creates an axial relationship with this entrance. The opposite condition occurs at the low-ceilinged front entry. Now it recedes in planes, drawing visitors into the newly enlarged open work space. The use of color and a repetitive window module deftly link the two spaces.
