- Description
This corporate client’s continuing growth necessitated a substantial addition to accommodate a new call-center function, along with enlargement and reorganization of existing departments. The new wing increased the size of the complex by twenty-five percent and was accompanied by land acquisition allowing growth of landscaped parking areas, configured to include convenient shaded walking paths leading to building entries. Also included is a green roof terrace. On the outside, great care was taken with building massing, form and masonry detailing to seamlessly extend the existing complex, maintaining the structure’s balanced and sedate presence within its rural campus. Inside, ample natural light and views were provided to open-plan work areas and enclosed offices alike, and additional remodeling reinforced and extend a clear and comprehensible pattern of circulation.
