Project Summary
In 2022, Muse & Co. was approached by a major life sciences real estate developer to engineer and fabricate some central elements for the lobby space of their San Francisco offices. Our team got to work on an oversized aluminum sliding door, as well as a uniquely cantilevered reception desk.
The sliding door and reception desk serve as anchoring pieces for the space, creating a focal point for those who enter the building. The door, which required precision engineering to ensure smooth operation, features a sanded element that was precision-etched into its powder coated aluminum surface. The front desk is comprised of a uniquely layered plywood base and a steel top that brings contrast and elegance to the piece. The cantilevering was a challenging but ultimately rewarding, design feature.
