OFFICE INTERIOR - CORPORATE

Lead interior Stuart Allen of Allen Architecture Interiors Design LLC designed the interior of the 2,054-square metre GE Middle East Aviation Technology Center. Aeronautical elements such as engine parts and airplane wings were used throughout the design. Raw materials such as exposed concrete and textured fabrics highlight the volume of the architectural enclosure and its industrial purpose, as do the pieces of artwork. Judges were impressed by the innovative dimensions of the space and its geometries. They thought the project possessed an overall elegance achieved largely by the use of wood, which enables the over-use of synthetic materials to be avoided.
