Feature Wall

Led the design of an architectural feature for manufacturing in collaboration with Gensler, the largest interior design firm globally.

problem

The overall concept of the wall feature was provided by Gensler, the architecture firm building the new DC offices for the American Chemical Council. I was tasked with designing the wall for fabrication, reducing the complexity of the design.

solution

Designing for Mass Production To prevent the need to make multiple molds of the plastic panels, I designed a hardware mounting system that would apply for various conditions. The panel on the left shows system for flat section of wall, and the panel on the right is for the curved section.

Two identical molded Corian panels with hardware for two different wall conditions.

I was sent down to Washington DC with the CCO and PM to meet with the developers / construction team and take a 3D scan of the wall that we’ll use to make the CAD production model.

I prepare the detailed drawings that show the scope of work and explain how the wall feature will come together. These drawings, once signed by the client, are the contract that allows the production work to proceed.

Corian is a popular plastic product used frequently in commercial spaces because its versatile and durable. To achieve a uniform curve production heated the corian sheet and laid it over the CNC’d mold, removed all the air.
