This 13,760 SF project houses a large non-profit foundation. It is located on an abandoned drive-in theatre property that was converted to an office campus site with multiple building pads surrounding a central plaza and public gardens. Our primary goal was to create a model for “affordable sustainability” in the hopes that the ideas showcased in its design would be embraced by the local building community. Its signature design element is a series of rammed earth walls integrated into a manufactured steel building structure. Photos ©2006 Steve Whittaker/www.whittpho.com
