FXFOWLE to create midtown build-out.

The design team of FXFOWLE ARCHITECTS, PC and Epstein-Interior Space International (ISI) have been selected to design a full build-out of a midtown office for a leading financial services firm. Construction will begin in June of 2006 and is expected for completion in August of 2006.

The project consists of approximately 25,000 square-feet of space including a reception area, conference rooms, an executive board room, executive offices and administrative office space.

The design plan for the midtown office calls for a total renovation of the space including glass office fronts to allow maximum daylight penetration. Selected areas of wood paneling accent the public spaces and conference rooms. There is a state-of-the-art video conference room and all of the conference rooms include complete audio-visual systems. The administrative areas are a combination of custom designed millwork and furniture systems.
