71 Above

Transforming a staid executive boardroom into a visually outstanding and multi-faceted culinary experience was the goal for 71 Above. In tandem, Tag Front and the owner engaged NOWN to propose an acoustic ceiling solution to allow for vibrant experiences without impeding intimacy. A sweeping 360-view carries the eye upward, setting the importance of a symbiotic relationship between design and function. Through a series of geometric and scale studies of NOWN’s custom and standard solution systems, and by presenting an array of visual possibilities, SoundStar® – a faceted, hexagonal coffer – was recommended by NOWN and selected by the owner, to complement the circular form of the building. Resulting from a compassionate vision and commitment to perfection by the project team, harmony was formed and refined in this luxurious and iconic revision of the tallest restaurant west of the Mississippi River. A marquee achievement of design, collaboration, ingenuity, taste, and experience.
