Jury comments:
The use of materials to make that space has merit, and functions as a discrete series of interventions that comes together as a whole. The design is not gimmicky or trendy, but instead subdued and conscientious. The jury appreciates the elevation and re-use of a mundane tilt-up building. The daylighting strategies and environmental achievements are commendable.
Southern California Edison comments:
This excellent adaptive re-use project deftly up-cycled a degraded concrete tilt-up office building. In the process, the designers incorporated extensive daylight, reduced embodied carbon, and implemented water reclamation for both grey water and storm water. The on-site solar array ensured net positive operations, generating more electricity than the project uses. A great example of a truly sustainable workplace that enhances occupant well-being.
