This sophisticated three-story office facility combines the company's two Cincinnati area offices into one location. To meet sustainable design goals, tilt-up construction materials were selected, which have an impressive economic-cycle and offer long-term durability. Sustainable design practices included geothermal cooling, vegetative swales to collect run-off water, an energy-recovery HVAC system and preservation of existing vegetated areas.
To create a unique look, two types of post-applied precast stone were used, as well as two different shades of paint in earth tone colors. The dramatic entry features the precast stone on angled tilt-up panels. It is complemented with an octagonal-shaped roof, as well as an arched canopy over a balcony area. Around the entire building, aluminum mansard, barrel and hip style roofs were installed. The ground-level accents include large concrete tapered buttresses to create the appropriate shape and limit the use of stone.
