Sarabi Studio provided the architectural metals package for the Olsen Kundig designed refresh of 100 Congress Avenue in Austin, TX. The update of the lobby space included two-story 1/4" 18-gauge steel coiled wire fabric panels powder-coated in a Graphite finish and seamlessly spliced on-site for a continuous wall covering aesthetic using the architectural metal mesh curtains. The panels are mounted using a custom attachment system integrated into a niche in the ceiling above and accented by an LED lighting system that washes over the mesh for added ambiance.

Olsen Kundig and Sarabi Studio also included a few perforated steel panels and many other metal accents to complete the space which is now anchored by a coffee shop and several distinct seating areas that contribute to the community building lobby's inviting atmosphere.
