planning

The Treeline Companies recently acquired three adjacent office buildings in LI and chose JRS to update the interior lobbies. Our approach was to develop a design that would appeal to a variety of prospective tenants and create signature lobbies for the building complex. Essential to the project was the use of durable materials that would perform well in a public space. Decorative plastic laminate is used on the walls to replicate custom wood panels. Likewise, large porcelain tiles resemble a traditional black and beige marble floor. The use of these materials achieves a prestigious lobby space without the maintenance associated with their natural counterparts. The finished space provides a transitional look featuring a glass divider etched with an original contemporary design. Interactive concierge displays were installed to guide visitors throughout the buildings, alleviating the cost of an occupied station. The outcome are clean inviting building entrances that give the tenants and visitors a dramatic and elegant feeling when entering.

The JRS Architect building is a focal point of an expanding commercial area of Mineola. A two-story glass curtain wall anchors the building to the site illuminating the atrium at night and reflecting the diversity of the streetscape during the day. Stone and plastic composite panels give the stilted second floor a modern architectural look, which is complimented by cantilevers and curves at the first floor parking level. The atrium is a study of intersecting planes, washed in light from the curtain wall and skylight, making the lobby bright and inviting. Of interest to all visitors is the commissioned artwork featuring original sepias of the building itself. JRS is pleased to present the building and interior design to clients as an example of a well functioning and attractive office environment.

JP Morgan Chase expanded and relocated their Check Processing operation into a new state of the art facility. JRS worked with the building developer to create a facility that was fresh, inviting and well organized in its layout. The entry point for the new building immediately invokes a sense of high tech efficiency. The main entry and loading dock share a state of the art central security and monitoring station. Soaring skylights and two-story glazing flood the space with natural light defying the concept of a processing and office facility. The second floor balcony is suspended in a gentle curve sharing exposure to the natural light and atrium. The lobby presents as an energetic and dynamic entrance for visitors and employees alike.
