Wayfinding Through Shou Sugi Ban

Share

This awesome installation is done by Rogers Partners out of New York. Their goal to explore global urbanism gave way to the new headquarters for international advertising agency Droga5. The space is comprised of three floors and a two-story penthouse in New York’s Financial District. Being a Collaborative culture, the firm went against traditional corporate office models. “The space is designed so everyone shares in the daylight and views while private offices are placed against the core, encased in glass.”

The main path connecting the floors is clad by the use of our Cypress Half Gator Shou Sugi Ban, providing wayfinding and a rich material quality to these areas. “Simple authentic materials offer a sober and modern contrast with the unobstructed bright natural light flooding in from the East River views.”
