The project is a four-story office building designed by a Danish architectural firm that has relied on precast concrete to achieve the form & function in their designs.  The building achieved LEED Gold certification and has won several design awards, including the prestigious Harry H. Edwards Award for Industry Advancement and Best Office Building Award from PCI  in 2016.  The precast concrete façade is a gravity-defying design where the loads are transferred directly through the precast panels to the foundations.
