The goal, Tolman says, was &ldquo;to bring an unbuttoned elegance to a very formal building by introducing modest materiality and bold palettes.&rdquo; Not to mention a massive &ldquo;art tube&rdquo; ceiling mural spanning a hallway that, in a perfect bit of symbolism, connects one common area facing the city&rsquo;s historic district with another, overlooking new developments.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sdg-migration-id.s3.amazonaws.com\/Interior-Design-HOK-Gensler-Convene-LA-777-pantry.jpg\" alt=\"\" caption=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sdg-migration-id.s3.amazonaws.com\/Interior-Design-HOK-Gensler-Convene-LA-777-pantry.jpg\" alt=\"\" caption=\"true\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>At 777 Tower, the Nourish Pantry features Pulp Studio laminated glass, a Lee Broom pendant, and an aggregate-concrete countertop.
