Stepping into the elevator lobby at AECOM, one walks right into the place where modern design meets artistic elegance. The space indeed stands to say that intelligent design can make a space for utility into a visual delight. In this lobby, wire mesh seems rather interesting, adding several dimensions of sophistication and style. The first thing one becomes aware of is the kind of harmonious blend of materials. The woven wire mesh panels create an interesting effect of dynamism through their intensive patterns. These panels do not remain only decorative; they turn out to be a point of emphasis, unifying the whole design.

The AECOM project encompassed the consolidation of seven operating companies into one integrated office space that reflected the progressive culture of the company. We were charged with utilizing the existing transitional mahogany wood clad elevator lobby without compromising the contemporary design intent. To achieve this, we layered two different styles of Banker Wire Architectural Wire Mesh panels over the existing wood panels to integrate it with the rest of the design elements. We used lighting to enhance the contrast of the wood and sparkle of the mesh to create a unique back drop for the firm's logo. The stainless steel Architectural Wire Mesh was the best solution to add textural interest and make a striking first impression as you walk into the suite's main lobby." -Amy Lowey, LEED AP, Interior Designer

This project used the Banker M13Z-187 & F-48 woven wire meshes. The M13Z-187 is a heavy mid-range rigid cable weave, consistently spaced straight wires are intersected by 3 unique crossing wires that have been tooled. The F-48 woven wire mesh utilizes a strong flat top crimp design suitable for all types of applications. Its Diameter ratio and Flat Top weave characteristics creates a mesh with a heavy surface mass. Banker Wire's flat top weaves can be scaled and customized to suit numerous functions; varying from intricate spacings and diameters to coarse and heavy diameters. In addition, rectangular patterns are easily created to achieve a desired aspect ratio specifically tailored to the project.

This elevator lobby really read like a master class in modern interior design at AECOM. It is the wire mesh that truly makes this space, gives it sophistication and elegance, and is at one time highly functional and aesthetically beautiful. This is a really good example of how innovative materials and thought-out design can transform what might have been a simple transit area into a memorable experience. More than that, it is a testament to the capacity of design to delight and inspire, turning each passage through the lobby into a view to be marveled at.
