On the board

A commercial shell building is on progress.  It's still in schematic design phase.  However, we'd like to introduce this project.  There are two design schemes as of Oct. 12, 2010.  In scheme #1, three main exterior materials would be used:  Brick, cement panel and glass.  Exposed steel beams support signs and specially designed awnings.   A portion of side elevation would have glazing to have more openness.

Scheme #2 is more like elegant and static, compared with scheme 1 above.  The material contrast of the front facade expresses the composition of the building design;  Cold and solid grey brick vs. warm wood plus red accent canopy.  

We will post more as the project proceeds.

Update:

Scheme #3.  It's like combining scheme #1 and #2;  two walls on front facade are from scheme #2 and wide retail storefront systems are from scheme #1.
