This 16,750 SF building is a central gathering place for the Oceanfront master-planned community. Surrounded on three sides by water, climate change and building resiliency were key considerations for the structure. Mass timber was selected, in part, due to it being a climate friendly material. Exposed CLT and glulam are used throughout reducing the building’s environmental impact. Extensive glazing allows enjoyment of the surrounding views. The building achieved Step Code 3.
