A commercial space must follow regulations as to fire resistant materials and proper exits. This financial management firm wanted their elevator lobby to represent their dedication to longevity and stability without disrupting their love of solid wood. Using steel and concrete for the architectural completion, the firm had André come in and hand paint wood grained mahogany over those materials. Employees and clients alike feel secure in the consistency of space design from the moment they step off the elevator and as they travel through the offices of the firm.
