DocMagic, a loan document company that delivers highly sensitive information over the Internet, wanted to convey the high-tech nature of its business to clients and visitors. The architects pursued a concept of digital information zooming through cyberspace, designing corridors that use a complex binary lighting system behind translucent walls. With no visible hardware or attachments, the walls suggest the âfuzzy edgeâ of the virtual world. The working spacesâincluding meeting rooms and officesâare grounded in bright colors that contrast with the pristine light of the corridors.
Jury: âThe rigorous execution achieved the effect of âfuzzy space,â a subtle, experiential, and poetic reference to the digital world.â
Client: âWe didnât set out to win an award; we simply wanted the very best facility in the world from which to deliver our equally stellar service. This award is evidence that we have achieved that goal.â âDominic Iannitti, CEO, DocMagic
