In 2020, LYF was awarded the project to design a new lobby and café for The Flatley Company’s 2000 Crown Colony building in Quincy. The building’s transition from a single-tenant building to a multi-tenant building prompted the need for a renovation of the building’s common and core elements. We looked to capitalize on the existing 2-story atrium lobby by utilizing design strategies that both promoted movement through the lobby as well as informal gathering. Large, grand movements of materials in conjunction with defined seating and digital displays helped achieve this goal.
In addition to designing the 2-story lobby, we also designed the building’s café, lounge, and fitness center. As with the lobby, our primary objective was movement. By employing the strategic use of lighting and material changes on both the floor and ceiling, we were able to define and differentiate areas of movement and access throughout the program.
