Today, I had so much fun joining Daniel for the grand opening of MDI's Office Building. in Nocatee, Florida. Daniel managed the construction on this building for Elkins Constructors and the architect was Wakefield, Beasley and Associates. This 80,000 square foot building was modeled after several influences, including the Menorcan architecture found at Flagler College and the Lightner Museum in St. Augustine while also bringing in the refined classic styles of the Ponte Vedra area. The building houses an impressive collection of paintings and photographs from North Florida's history, wild life and natural beauty.
The 1st floor lobby of the building has a collection of art from the Florida State Archives, and the Library of Congress. The hallways of the 2nd floor showcase the nature and the wildlife of Northeast Florida while the 3rd floors artwork takes you on a journey to st. Augustine as it was one hundred years ago. So much thought went into the placement of each picture inside the building; one stretch of hallway takes you on a picture by picture walk down St. George Street while another stretch takes you on a tour of the Ponce De Leon, Flagler Properties and The Alcazar Hotel. The main staircase of the building host a gorgeous modern chandelier and a sleek stainless steel railing wrapping up to the third floor.
