This multi-phased build-out has transformed the CIBC Chicago Headquarters into a cutting-edge workspace and features the addition of private offices, executive conference rooms, corridors, open workspace, a break room and kitchen, along with a common area and lounge for collaboration. The lower level features the original 100-year old bank vault which was thoughtfully transformed into a boardroom and executive conference room.
While preserving the circa 1928 metal and brass ceiling, we discovered missing connecting joints between the crowns. Understanding that the historic aesthetics of the original ceiling were important to the client and designer, we replicated the design with a mold to fill in the missing intersections without compromising the historic feature.
