This repositioning of a single-story concrete tilt-up building incorporates a new skin of perforated, corrugated Corten metal panels applied over the concrete walls. The translucent panels rise above the existing roof to convey a large sculptural presence and express the diagonal steel stud structure behind. New windows are added in addition to a full seismic upgrade.

Existing seismic shear walls were converted to accent fin-walls extending into the landscape with a bold two color scheme.  The buildings were designed to accommodate single or separate tenants.
