ECI (Electrical Components International) - CityPlace

ECI makes electrical components for refrigeration appliances. They are located in the Cityplace campus in Creve Coeur, a suburb of St. Louis.  http://www.ecintl.com/    SPACE Architects was the architect. 

　

Working with a particularly difficult area of the buildings floorplate, SPACE created a design that accentuated the aspects of the space, and minimized the effect of the building core.

ECI is a company that makes appliance parts for high end kitchen equipment. SPACE created a plan that located their company break room up close to the front office reception to create an open "showroom" effect for the kitchen equipment.

Balancing the open look with appropriate separation between the break room and reception, the design utilizes curving, sloping walls and ceiling to acheive functional, yet dramatic results.
