The Architect's Newspaper
Aptly dubbed, The Lookout is a synthesis of color, dimension, and texture across a multitude of interior surfaces, and the floor. A terrazzo vinyl flooring called iQ Megalit was paired with Tarkett’s wood, linoleum, and textile surfaces. These tactile coverings were employed across geometric compositions of space, including a zigzagging staircase that leads up to an elevated point to view the fair, stadium-style seating swathed in terrazzo flooring, wall coverings fashioned from oak wood squares, and other furniture outfitted by Tarkett’s floor and wall coverings.
