An I.T. services company acquired a former apartment building and needed to change it into their new business office. The architectural concept was to integrate daylighting by modernizing the existing building’s masonry façade. This was achieved by removing the masonry between windows to create a larger opening that could also frame a new entry canopy. Energy upgrades improved the thermal performance of the building’s solid masonry walls by applying spray foam insulation to the perimeter walls and roof deck. Original single pane windows were replaced with insulated and additional fire-rated windows were added due to their proximity to the property line. LED lighting systems were also introduced for energy efficiency.
