SWFA Outdoors

This project used tilt-up to build a new headquarters, warehouse, distribution, and flagship retail complex quickly and cost-effectively, without compromising life-cycle security and sustainability. Architects designed embedded thin-brick tilt-up walls using various colors, sizes, and textures to create many wall combinations and treatments, and there were numerous arches, balconies, and atrium openings in the panels. As a result, the design looks like a village of smaller buildings, each with its own distinct character and appeal.
