The owners of Bank of America Plaza invested in a complete redesign of their street-level presence. A more pedestrian-friendly area with smaller shop fronts, outdoor seating areas, and a new, extended main building entry to engage the public plaza was created. One section of the exterior courtyard had an existing fountain but was largely under-utilized open space with no seating available. The initial vision to incorporate wall mounted curved benches into the fountain surround led to conversations between Architect, Richard Boswell and Maglin’s CEO, Ian McAskile and Territory Manager, Andrew Coen. Bank of America Plaza owners, TIER REIT wanted a variety of table and seating configurations and embraced color to enliven the space.

The project specified café and bar height tables and chairs, relaxing lounge chairs, and curved benches – elements that would invite office residents to congregate in the fresh air and sunshine for their morning coffee, lunch break or informal meetings. Maglin’s site furniture products were customized with chairs in fun bright colors, and stylish Ipe wood top tables to provide the Bank of America Plaza with a unique and inviting outdoor space.
