Site-cast Tilt-Up concrete was selected for the 15,000-square-foot structure by the architect as the most cost- effective method for construction due to the design complexity.

The architect was convinced that in addition to solving the design, Tilt-Up construction would also offer aesthetics that were advantageous for the site. The design for this structure expresses extreme creativity of form for Tilt-Up panels.

Every panel on the project has either a convex or a concave radius at the top ranging from 12-ft. to 40-ft. These radii project into the air projecting the imagery appropriate for the building type.
