The relocation of Lehigh Heidelberg Cement Group’s Pacific Region office created the opportunity to design a benchmark for this leading manufacturer of cement and construction materials and further established them as an international and contemporary corporation. The use of classic materials and clean modern lines promotes strength and durability and the high-quality finish complements the company’s philosophy. Fraser River gravel from one of Lehigh’s BC operations was used as aggregate to produce the feature stepped concrete counter for the reception desk. Throughout the office space full-height translucent glass surrounded by walnut veneer frames produces a sophisticated element that allows daylight to stream into the open workstation areas while providing privacy to perimeter offices.
