Vision 3 Architects is one of the first design firms to be awarded the "Reality Winner" in the Commercial Ceiling & Wall Systems category of Armstrong World Industries' i2r (ideas 2 reality) pro­fessional design competition. Vision 3 was selected from almost 140 projects submitted from design firms throughout the U.S. Judges selected an "idea" and a "reality" winner in each of the two categories - Commercial Ceiling and Flooring products.
Vision 3 Architects was asked to design the new corporate offices for NaviNet, America's largest real-time healthcare communications network in Boston's Leather District. The new corporate office encompasses 65,000 s/f of the lower level, first and second floors of the building, with approximately 43,000 s/f of new build-out on the second floor. Vision 3 created a design that melded the historic elements of the building with modern features through finishes, colors, and textures. The design allows for lines of sight to the outdoors from virtually all areas of the open office space and defines traffic areas with ceiling components comprised of wood, metal, and lighting details. Those details are strategically repeated throughout the space to create a cohesive design.
Vision 3 Architects was honored in a celebration with Armstrong World Industries, Inc. at Fire & Ice in Providence where they received the i2r trophy, a framed piece of the NaviNet design work, and an Apple IPad2.
