Fusion Design completes 5,600 s/f Piper Jaffray Cos. office space
Piper Jaffray Cos. - 100 Federal Street - Boston, MABoston, MA Fusion Design Consultants provided architectural and interior design services for Piper Jaffray’s 5,600 s/f office space at 100 Federal St.
One of Piper Jaffray’s biggest concerns was not having the standard ‘flat’ glass office fronts. It was crucial for Fusion to create something 3-dimensional and unique at the face of all enclosed rooms. The result was a custom wood veneer surround that acts as a frame to enhance the downtown and water views from the 33rd floor.
Adding to the 3-dimensional concept is the custom ceiling design at the reception area. Instead of a standard flat drywall ceiling, Fusion envisioned a volumetric feature with integrated lighting. The ‘slats’ bring in the idea of wood planks.
The project team included general contractor JDL Corporate Interiors, Inc. and property manager Boston Properties.
