True quality

Article Abstract:

The Lehman/Smith/Wiseman office reflects the company's own design concepts of a modern approach, quality, cost-effectiveness and the unity of architecture and interiors. The office building's four-by-two foot grid, manifested both in the interior and exterior, became useful for the fabric-covered paneling and other architectural details. The carefully conceived ceiling design enhanced the office ambience and is complemented with a floor finishing which was Mediterranean-inspired. The resulting design features an economic office space that evokes a feeling of luxury.
