 This project is a 70,000 square
foot aerospace research and de-
velopment facility. The owners
required a building which reflected
their unique philosophy toward
their employees and their sur-
roundings. Primary goals included
an open work environment and
the co-mingling of all activity
areas.
 Most of the site is heavily
wooded and in order to reduce the
impact of the building on the
environmentally-sensitive site and
to meet flood insurance require-
ments, half of the building is ele-
vated over covered parking while
the production shop areas are all
on fill. The common ceiling line
throughout the building, the var-
ied floor elevation and the exten-
sive use of glass are intended to
provide a stimulating work envi-
ronment with a strong relation-
ship to the natural surroundings.







Jury: "This building seems to
work well with natural light, both
inside and out. The shading de-
vices are exaggerated and give the
building scale. The combination
of solids and voids is very effec-
tive and when combined with the
white color, it becomes a land-
scape sculpture."
