Making an Entrance

architecture

Whether our relationship with a building gets off to a good start or falls at the first hurdle will be heavily influenced by the design of the main entrance.

While there may still be valid circumstances where a building needs to impose its presence on those entering it, much of our design effort goes into making buildings more transparent, approachable and welcoming.

For example, we often use extensive glazing to open up a building’s frontage, giving people a preview of its interior so they’re not intimidated by the large space when they enter. This technique works particularly well in high-traffic environments.
