YEAR

SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
The natural characteristics of the Lumber River that links the community became the inspiration for the layout of the site, as well as many of the design features of the building.
The building is arranged as three separate bars serving different programmatic requirements on two levels, also
representing the building similar to the tree canopy along the River. The connection between the three bars is created by a large lobby/ waiting areas that serve a critical function to DSS also linking the separate entries for visitors and the employees of the building. This link is referred to as the BRIDGE and is symbolic to the idea
of moving from one path to another path, similar to the goals of Department of Social Services. The circulation paths are located adjacent to the bridge on the south elevation providing a buffer to open work areas while also located along the river’s edge. The building’s solar orientation and depth of 80’ is employed for sustainable strategies and to maximize the connection to the landscape.
