This new office building is a cornerstone of the revitalized Morningside business district. It was important to recognize the two characters of the site. Morniside Ave. is residential and yet Greenwood is the communities commercial Avenue. The design respects the character of the residential properties on the Morningside elevation and then turns clearly more commercial on the Greenwood elevation.
The interior was structured as one open space with just four center steel columns. This allows for a wide variety of configurations as tenants change. Plumbing and mechanical systems were arranged to facilitate future flexibility. Heating and air conditioning equipment is set on the roof between the two gables so as not to be visible from the street.
