This is the first medical office building I designed. Although the building is on a major highway, it's site is basically invisible due to the significantly lower elevation. Since visible prominence is a priority for the clinic, an internally lighted tower element defines the front door. The 32,000 square foot building is comprised of brick clad horizontal volumes that define the clinic functions, a glassy horizontal volume that defines the waiting areas and the vertical entry tower which acts as a counterpoint to the building's sense of horizontality; emphasizing the entrance's importance.
