Development...

The ware house and office complex has been designed based onthe concept of structural clarity and simplicity around which Mies architecture evolved.

The Crown Hall in Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois 1950-56), displays ultimate unity of spatial, aesthetic and technological organsation and served as inspiration in defining the structural elements of the office complex and the ware house is designed using the technology of our time as would be done by Mies.

The construction and structural details of the Crown Hall and the Farnsworth House were considered as precedence.

Green Construction News

Greenhouse (Eco-Structure,May/June 2007) reports on the National Association of Home Builder's (NAHB) February announcement of the development of a new residential building sustainability standard. To be produced in cooperation with the International Code Council, the new National Green Building Standard will be an ANSI certified consensus standard and will replace NAHB's current Model Green Home Building Guidelines.

Unlike the Guidelines, the new standard will be administered nationally, rather than at the local level, and will apply not only to single-family residences and townhouses, but to apartments and other types of multi-unit residential construction as well. Three levels of certification will be offered, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
