For their new headquarters, Liberty Marble, a major New York marble and granite installer asked Alayo Architects PC to design a contemporary space, utilizing new materials, and to experiment with new lighting techniques for the office environment. The materials used are pickled white oak veneer, non directional stainless steel, stainless steel wire mesh, white arabescato marble, and black impala granite. The space is mostly an open office plan with private offices on the perimeter.
The space flows freely through the floor where walls are deliberately left unresolved,

and visual connections are made both in a direct and obvious way, but also in an accidental manner.
The lighting design also by this office makes use of light and recessed coves to allow ceilings to float freely from the structure and accentuates the connections between columns and floors to express a dynamic condition. The design takes advantage of a modern vocabulary and has introduced the use of expensive materials and sophisticated detailing to elevate the modern language into one that also signifies sophistications as well as efficiency.
