Client: Florida Retail Federation

Project: 6 story building on a 60' x 105' partial across from Tallahassee City Hall (1 of 4 schemes)

Cost: $7 million (estimated)

Status: Design Development

Delivery: Bid

Description: Shown here is my 6 story scheme for this project developed alongside the more traditional 2 and 12 story schemes. The curve of the facade is a nod to the 70's modern Florida Capitol building. Inspired by Brasilia, the exterior treatment are vertical screens operable from the inside. Each group of panels is 5' wide x 11' high. Proposed were anodized gold aluminum or moss green as an alternative.

As the sun tracks across the sky, building's users can throttle the amount of direct solar gain. This has a quilt-like effect on the buildings surface - constantly changing throughout the day and season as the exposure shifts.

Inside, there are 2 floors of retail, a second story cafe over the sidewalk and 4 floors of office above. Plans can be viewed by clicking on the links under the images.
