Triskelion San Francisco Featured in Architectural Record "Lighting within Limits" explains how tightening energy codes and standards, along with new technology, present design teams with opportunities and challenges. Commissioned by the nonprofit arts organization FOR-SITE, and required to be easily demountable and leave no trace, the Triskelion could not tie into nearby utilities. To meet the requirement, the project team devised an off-the-grid lighting scheme largely dependent on daylighting penetrating the central skylight, windows at the ends of each container, and side openings shaded by a security grate. But for those times when daylight is insufficient, the power generated by a rooftop 4,400-W photovoltaic array illuminates photosensor-controlled T5 lamps inserted within fabric-covered coves. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Gallery House Wins AIA San Francisco 2011 Design Honor Award: Excellence in Architecture On a site bordering South Park, this project combines a semi-public art gallery and a residence for two prominent collectors. Both home and gallery are daylighted through the roof plane and connected to the park through extensive glazed walls. This home, also featured in the AIA SF Home Tours program, impressed the jury with its serene and unified exterior and the reinterpretation of the San Francisco bay window. >See the Project Links:

David Brower Center Featured in High Performing Buildings The David Brower Center in Berkeley, California, awarded LEED platinum certification by the US Green Building Council has recently been profiled in the spring issue of High Performing Buildings magazine. The Center is home to organizations working for environmental and social justice. The building environmental footprint has been designed to be as light as possible by using energy-saving technologies and recycled materials. The narrow floor plate, lightshelves skylights and exterior shades provide nearly 100% daylighting. >See the Project

NASA Sustainability Base Featured in USA Today and Architect Magazine Newswire This $20.6 million new office building at the NASA Ames Research Center is currently profiled in both USA Today and Architect Magazine Newswire. In pursuit of LEED platinum certification, the 50,000 sf project will use 75% less energy and 90% less potable water than a comparable building. It is expected to produce an annual surplus of power. >See the project Links: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Adam Joseph Lewis Center Featured in Eco-Structure Magazine The Adam Joseph Lewis Center at Oberlin College was initially conceived as a demonstration project for an educational venue, but it has become a model for the field of sustainable design. Inspired by Le Corbusier's idea of a house as a "machine for living," the Adam Joseph Lewis Center has become a building for sustainable living and study. It was declared one of the 30 milestone buildings of the 20th century by the US Department of Energy. >See the project Links:
