KALEIDO-FLOWERS LOUNGE

Located on the 12th floor of St. John’s Terminal, Google’s newest 1.4 million square foot addition to its New York campus, this lounge is surrounded by a beautiful terrace overlooking the water. Architecturally, this floor is inspired by rich organic elements, gardens, and nature.

In this spacious lounge area, my work includes a full-coverage floor graphic and a feature wall graphic that wraps around all four walls of the central area. The wall graphic exclusively features plants and flowers native to New York City and its surrounding areas. Each plant was carefully researched and curated based on its form, color, and geographic origin, then deconstructed to create an elegant, large-scale kaleidoscopic effect.

The floor graphic features a subtle venation-style line work, utilizing graduating tone-on-tone paint colors. Its visibility shifts throughout the day, creating a peaceful, undulating effect. Numerous rounds of sampling and extensive coordination ensured that the paint opacity and application style were perfectly tailored for the finished space.
