First Security BuildingOffice RemodelSalt Lake City, UtahThe owner of the First Security Building in downtown Salt Lake City desired an interior remodel of their historic building. This project will serve as a model floor to be used in the leasing of 5 other floors in the building, among other marketing uses. The spatial organization of the tenant space was arranged to break the rigid geometry of the existing shell and create open spaces. Glass was used where possible for walls and doors to further open the spaces visually and allow light to penetrate into all major areas of the project. The use of wood flooring for the wall finishes creates a warm and inviting space in the main entrance and lobby areas. As in other offices, the reception desk serves as the focus of activity and attention in this project. The simple geometry of the desk contrasts with the complex surface undulations and ripples, which vary in intensity, from one area of the desk to the next. Flat surfaces are provided for working, making this desk a functional and visually striking centerpiece to the project.

Langue AIA Completed: 2009Due to a large reorganization of their campus, Utah Valley University relocated several administrative functions.Axis Architects performed Space Planning, Schematic Design and Cost Estimating for this project, and is currently proceeding with construction documents.Working closely the directors of the departments and their personnel, Axis was able to provide unique solutions which promoted privacy while integrating the elements into a cohesive whole. This solution works in part because it capitalizes on and reinforces the successful qualities of the existing building while providing clarity to the arrangement and functioning of the inter-related operations.

USU Business BuildingLogan, Utah Client: Utah State University95,000 S.F. Gross$30,000,000Principal: Pierre O. Langue AIASchematic design Utah State University commissioned Axis Architects to provide a preliminary design for fund raising purposes showing potential for a new business building. The program includes classrooms, computer labs, student interactive spaces, the business library, the Deans suite, faculty and staff offices, and the three pillars of the school, the Center for Entrepreneurship, Center for Global Management, and the Center for Ethical Leadership. The building was designed to interact with the original business building which is directly adjacent to this site.
