Located on a high floor of an office building, the small office footprint  posed a significant challenge to creating a meeting space and workplace that  was comfortable and spacious while maximizing both the efficiency and  flexibility of the facility. Privacy and acoustics were also a major concern; each space was isolated from the adjacent areas to assure ideal acoustic  performance.

One of the greatest physical challenges was to be able to transform the main  space from a Meeting room during the daytime into a restaurant quality  dining room in the evening.

A custom-designed board room table was built to incorporate all of the  audio/visual requirements of a contemporary conference facility. The wood  veneer table-top can be quickly transformed into 3 separate dining tables by  removing 4 individual panels in order to accommodate the program.

Multiple lighting “scenes” were created for this space as well as to  accommodate Meetings and presentations as well as more intimate social  interactions during cocktail and dinner events.

The space is defined aesthetically by the dark wood-paneled wall treatment, rich accents of gold tile and patterned wallcoverings, plush furnishings, and  a patterned carpet that lend a contemporary sensibility to an otherwise  classic lounge-style space.

The adjacent office spaces are designed to reflect the aesthetic of the  Meeting space, offering serviced office facilities to Members for daily, weekly  or monthly use. The offices are furnished in a contemporary style with glass  fronts highlighting panoramic city views.

Original photographs from a private collection are featured throughout and  rotated using a flexible hanging system.

TIGER 21 provides members with a close-knit network to discuss topics that matter most.
