These tours are always so much fun and this was no exception. Great mix of people, good food and a great presentation.
The project landscape/hardscape was particularly good; I really loved the “wave” turf area. The building had a really simple structural system with a lot of it exposed but that required a high level of detailing which W+P really nailed. I especially like the simplicity of the white ceiling/roof deck and how it linked the whole building together. The coordination with the electrical mechanical and plumbing was really amazing. All exposed and it looked like art. Great project – It looked like a highly tuned design response on a very reasonable budget
