Sketching
The main focus of the project was to optimize the amount of office and parking space onsite while preserving heritage Oak Trees along the perimeter and minimizing the footprint of impervious cover. This challenge took multiple iterations of site layouts that allowed us to think through site constraints. We ultimately arrived at a layout that located the parking underneath the building.
Another challenge was to create a façade that would be interesting to look at and in line with current upscale development. We thought through how we could articulate the building façade so it would have depth.
