Desk Sketch

This is a hand sketch of the reception desk for Solterra’s headquarters building. The guidelines given were the rough dimensions of the desk and to incorporate the use of walnut; which they had in a warehouse waiting to be used. The walnut would be ripped into 1×1″ segments of various lengths and applied to a cast in place concrete desk. The vertical concrete connects to the concrete floor with the use of hand tooled control joints (lines). The desk also showcases nature with built in planters that terrace up to a vine trellis. The company logo resides within the vine trellis.
