MICROSOFT BUILDING 88 / REDMOND, WASH
About 750 offices are integrated into 217,000 square feet (20159 m2). A 2-story central atrium has a skylight, so natural light can filter into the building, and localized light and temperature controls allow occupants to customize individual spaces to personal comfort levels. Bicycle storage is located near building entrances, and access to public transportation encourages employees to commute.
COLUMBIA HEIGHTS HEADQUARTERSAND AND COMMUNITY CENTER / WASHINGTON, D.C.
Encompassing nearly 50,000 square feet (4645 m2), the community center replaces two existing buildings. Public amenities include a full-service gymnasium, dance studio, computer lab, multipurpose rooms and a weight-training room.
MARION ARTS AND ENVIRONMENT CENTER AT LOWE PARK / MARION, IOWA
The building is designed on an east-west axis to promote natural ventilation and maximize the structure's connection to the sun. A glulaminated timber roof, which is made from smaller pieces of wood combined into a larger beam, is employed. The building envelope is designed with high-insulation values and energy-efficient windows; local and regional materials were used throughout construction.
NEW RESOURCE BANK / SAN FRANCISCO
As the nation’s first commercial green bank, New Resource Bank offers special loan programs to green developers and finances residential and commercial solar installations. It recently was selected as a preferred financial partner of Solar Santa Monica, a solar campaign operated by the city of Santa Monica, Calif.
SWEETWATER SOUND / FORT WAYNE, IND.
Sweetwater Sound is the fourth-largest musical instrument and pro-audio retailer in the world. It recently completed a 180,000-square-foot (16722-m2) facility that features a 250-seat auditorium and performance theater with four separate sound systems combined with three new recording studios. Sales offices are clad in bamboo, and other rapidly renewable materials were used throughout the facility.
THE POINT AT MORRISTOWN / N.J.
This 24,000-square-foot (2230-m2), 6-story mixed office and retail building includes ceiling heights designed to maximize energy efficiency, dual-flush toilets, sensor-operated faucets, tinted double-pane operable windows, carpeting made from recycled materials, an on-siterecycling center, fluorescent lighting, rooftop solar panels and a high-efficiency HVAC system.
HOME ON THE RANGE / BILLINGS, MONT.
As Montana’s only LEED Platinum-certified structure recognized by the Washington, D.C.-based U.S. Green Building Council, this 8,300-square-foot (771-m2) building houses several nonprofit environmental groups. The building, which had been an abandoned 1940s grocery store, was refurbished for less than the cost of new construction.
KENNECOTT UTAH COPPER / COPPERTON, UTAH
Measures to reduce environmental impacts, such as using recycled materials, increased daylighting, low-emitting materials, innovative design and reduced water and energy consumption, earned the Kennecott Mine Administration Building and the Bingham Canyon Mine Visitor Center LEED Silver certification and LEED Certification, respectively, from the U.S. Green Building Council, Washington, D.C. The buildings’ uniqueness lies in their portability.
Exclusive: Terunobu Fujimori
I was an architectural historian until the age of 45. My work involved looking, thinking, and writing about buildings others had created in the past. And then at 45, I suddenly found myself making architecture. I was asked to design a small repository for a shrine in the place where I was born, where I grew up. That shrine boasts a proud, ancient history, going back more than 2000 years. Spirits live in trees, rocks and rivers.
