The project was developed to address the severe housing shortage among the city’s American Indian citizens and provide added social support. Its façade features metal wall panels in a dramatic palette that also incorporates panels with a unique woodgrain finish that ties the building to the tribe’s historic home in a reservation in the woods of Northwest Minnesota.
The upshot has been a new focus on hybrid work, as well as renewed interest in workplace design. “Resmercial” settings that are homelike and comfortable help to maximize the social benefits of in-person work while easing the adjustment back to the office.
Inner sound dampening second windows added behind the original cost effectively stop external noise penetration and preserve design aesthetics while improving insulation value and comfort.
Maintaining the simple, rectilinear gabled form and dark brown hue of the Woodinville distillery, located 160 miles away (in Woodinville), the new complex’s structures are clad in dark metal siding and modified wood.
Energy efficiency and clean air were two of the top priorities that drove design. That presented architects with a challenge. They had to figure out a way to bring in fresh air, while keeping the building envelope tight.
When the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Contractors Association designed its new headquarters, they knew it needed to be built with materials that were energy-efficient, code-compliant and long-lasting. To ensure a long-lasting exterior, they turned to coatings and component finishes made with Kynar 500 and Kynar Aquatec PVDF resin.
