Rich history and cool vibe define this architecture firm’s offices. Forced to move from a location they resided in for three decades, Eastlake Studio saw this as an opportunity to address challenges of the former office and to create an elegant, modern, and collaborative workspace that also serves as a showroom. Incorporating products from leading manufacturers, used in many of their projects, and making space for an extensive resource library allowed their clients to see products in a natural application and provided their design team a space for presentations.

The use of Nera linear luminaires in continuous runs and individual units provides a cohesive look throughout and elevates the modern aesthetic with its unobtrusive design, center void, and Power Up™ technology. While Seem 2 Asymmetric in a black finish blends seamlessly into the open ceiling structure, it also serves to highlight the rich dark wood wall that prominently features the company’s logo.
