This double-skinned glass and wood structure was designed to conserve energy and complement the scale of nearby buildings. The open interior space and three-story atrium provide for ample circulation and ventilation. 82 degree water is pumped below the floor to provide radiant heating. The glass slats can be opened, designed to provide self-regulated climate control for each office. The project cost totaled $34,000,000. It was awarded an AIA Honor for Design Excellence.
