Client:
Florida Retail Federation
Project: 12 story
building on a 60' x 105' site across from Tallahassee City Hall
Description: Stacked
irregular rectangles (rhomboids). Structurally tricky but doable.
And certainly dramatic. Imagine a skyline of these pups.
In this
very conservative market, I've found that if you throw something
zany in the mix with certain clients, the effect is they raise their
bar a tad. That might mean that they would actually consider a building
without columns and pediments and cornices and dental molding. Didn't
happen in this case but it's always worth a try.
