Kappa Sigma Fraternity International Headquarters

Charlottesville, VA, United States

YEAR
2007
SIZE
10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft
Glavé & Holmes Architecture (G&HA) was commissioned by Kappa Sigma Fraternity to design its new international headquarters near Charlottesville, Virginia. Kappa Sigma Fraternity originated in Bologna, Italy during the Renaissance and was founded in the United States on The Lawn at the University of Virginia in 1869. Keeping with the classical imagery tradition of Thomas Jefferson’s architecture, the Kappa Sigma Headquarters recalls an elegant estate gently placed within it’s rural context.

Sensitive to classic proportions, the modern needs of the fraternity, and the terrain of the site, the design incorporates red brick, large white columns, shuttered floor to ceiling triple hung windows, a standing seam metal roof, and distinguishing cupolas to enlighten the interiors of the headquarters. A formal garden extending from the rear of the building was crafted into the sloping grade of the site to suggest a connection to the terraced formal gardens of the Italian Renaissance, as well as articulate the tradition of Virginia landscaping. All interior spaces were finished and detailed appropriate to the program.
