A modern office interior featuring a staircase with glass railings and a large feature wall with vertical metal slats creating a mountain-range pattern.

Building a mountain-inspired feature wall

Client: Confidentail  I  Designer: Perkins&Will  I  Fabricator:  Xibitz 

This impressive feature wall, spanning 52 feet across and 4 stories high, transformed the client’s Salt Lake City office. The monumental wall celebrates the breathtaking view of the Wasatch Mountain Range and gives a whole new meaning to “bringing the outside in.” It was a delight working in collaboration with Perkins&Will on this project. They translated this vision with a stunning level of precision and passion.

The project’s massive scale presented unique challenges, particularly in addressing building deflection across multiple floors. Our teams developed an ingenious solution using custom-made and 3D-printed components that allowed for slight vertical and horizontal movement, ensuring the installation remains stable and visually seamless.

The curtain wall is composed of different widths of anodized bronze tubes, strung with steel tension cable, suspended from the ceiling of the 20th floor. Lighting was integrated at the top, midpoint, and bottom of the wall. The result is a striking work of art that reflects the clients’ status and honors Utah’s unique natural landscape.
