Foresight Energy - Downtown St. Louis

Foresight recently relocated their corporate headquarters from Palm Beach, Florida to the 26th
floor of Metropolitan Square; St. Louis’ tallest building.  Gray (www.graydesigngroup.com) provided full scope design services including architecturally ‘integrated’ artwork to solidly brand the new facility. Foresight wished to convey the story of coal; both above and below ground. Design elements include a coal wall water feature, a boardroom table that features chunks of coal in the center trough and a twelve screen video wall that tells the story of the coal process. The lobby ceiling is a simulated mine ceiling. The project exemplifies ‘one man’s floor is another man’s ceiling.’

Creative Producers Group - Downtown St. Louis

The Creative Producers Group (http://www.getcreative.com/) leased space at the Park Pacific Building several years ago.  The building is a mixed-use redevelopment of the former Missouri Pacific Railroad Company headquarters.  The art-deco tower was redeveloped as luxury apartments and includes retail and office space.  KMOX also relocated from the Gateway Tower last year.  Lawrence Group was the architect for the space and entire redevelopment.  www.thelawrencegroup.com
