Historic view of a lobby space

Lobbies managed flow and set tone through materials, lighting, and generous scale.


Design Elements

  • Tall volumes and light
  • Clear sightlines and cues
  • Durable materials underfoot

Threshold Reading

Cue Interpretation
Ceiling height Signals transition and gathering
Material change From street grit to interior calm
Sound shift Muffled voices, slower tempo

Reading Museum Spaces

  • Look for how circulation invites pauses.
  • Notice transitions between exhibits.
  • Consider acoustics near large artifacts.
  • Identify rest points before entering denser galleries.

Bottom line: Arrival cues help us move attentively through reflective spaces.
