Introducing a modern and sustainable 10-story mass-timber office and flex workspace concept. This innovative design harmonizes two distinct typologies: the lower floors house commercial and retail spaces that complement the adjacent historic building, while the upper floors feature a sleek and efficient office tower. A distinctive third-level roof amenity connects seamlessly with street-level activities. The upper volume of the building steps back from the lot line to ensure necessary fire separation and features a solar-shaded open façade that frames stunning city core views. The top floor offers an exceptional event space with panoramic views of the city and surrounding hills.
By stepping back from the main street, the building’s footprint is optimized for an efficient office floor plate. The exposed mass-timber construction, including post and beam and CLT panels, enhances the building’s warm and inviting biophilic appeal. This choice of materials not only supports a reduced foundation system but also minimizes excessive interior finishes, promoting a healthier and more productive work environment.
