FORMA
Design was commissioned to re-design the Private Dining Rooms
for the Headquarters Building of the World Bank. Wood paneling
was introduced to the walls lining the access corridors, and stainless
steel chair-rail and vertical way-finding posts were designed
to announce the entry to each Dining Room. The carpet emphasizes
each entryway. A "Lightscape" of flexible track fixtures
in the rooms themselves add flexibility for setting up different
events, while venetian stucco walls and custom mirrors and artwork
compliment the Novawall acoustical panels that provide sound insulation.
Operable glass partitions were added to combine the Buffet and
Á la Carte Dining rooms.
The
project won a 2000 Excellence in Construction Award from the Metropolitan
Washington and Virginia Chapter of the Associate Builders and
Contractors.
