Westgroup Designs did a fabulous job on this creative office for Emerald Exposition. We utilized a Moderco operable wall with a fabulous distressed wood finish and since there wasn’t room for a pocket we stack along the window for large conferences. An added benefit is cutting down glare during presentations.
MIAMI BEACH CITY HALL PARKING GARAGE
The Vision
This seven-story City Hall Parking Garage in Miami Beach, Florida was completed in 2009 as the final addition to the city’s Civic Center Campus. It poses a stunning architectural statement while serving as a gateway to the city’s historic Art Deco district. The 300,000 square foot facility includes 38,550 square feet of office space and connects to the city hall administration building via a pedestrian bridge. The garage also provides event parking for the nearby Miami Beach Convention Center and Lincoln Road Mall commercial center.
350 Mission Street
Sector: Offices
Location: San Francisco, California, USA
Architects: Skidmore Owings & Merrill / Gensler / Mark Cavagnero Associates
350 Mission Street represents the new headquarters of cloud computing giant Salesforce.
At 492,000-square-feet, 350 Mission Street is San Francisco’s first LEED Platinum high rise, and that focus on sustainability was the driving factor behind every decision made on this project. Chris Heimburger, Senior Vice President of Development for developer Kilroy, describes the goal of the project as the creation of a “high performance work environment” in every aspect from employee performance to optimised operating costs.
One of the key factors in achieving these goals was the utilisation of underfloor service distribution (UFAD). Using UFAD allowed for 100% filtered outside air to be brought into the building and distributed in an energy-efficient method. Running power and cable through the plenum allowed for the creation of a greater floor-to-ceiling height which increased overhead space for employees and allowed larger windows for improved daylighting.
Edmunds HQ
It takes a lot of people to make up Edmunds.com, the automotive networking and shopping giant. In 2016, Edmunds moved all those people into a new office in Santa Monica, CA, to give them a better, more collaborative, more enjoyable place to work. Architects M+M Creative Studio designed a vast flowing space with a polished industrial aesthetic heavy on car culture and a wealth of collaborative spaces. They integrated outdoor courtyards inside by making the office into a “convertible” with NanaWall opening glass walls. The result is an award-winning business space where people love to come to work.

Problem: A country club needed an elegant, easy way to separate its formal dining room and sometimes boisterous adjacent bar.
Solution/Description of the Installation: Our Series 3300 dual-wall door provides the visual separation and a degree of sound control that keeps all members happy. Plus, it opens effortlessly when an event calls for traffic flow between both areas.
The Met Atlanta
Atlanta’s The Met is an over 100 year old warehouse recently converted to multiuse spaces for entrepreneurs and artisans. The original warehouse, owned by a co-founder of the Coca-Cola Company, has had many uses in its history including distribution for the military during World Wars I & II. Today, the structures have been converted to include office space, art studios, and public use spaces to bring the community together.
As part of this redevelopment, the property underwent renovations to the roof – including replacing the original glass skylights. Over time, the skylights had degraded causing leaks and poor quality lighting inside. Kingspan Light + Air provided modern, polycarbonate skylights to provide high performance for the future.
The prismatic polycarbonate skylights allow ample light to enter the space, diffusing the spaces with natural light, without sacrificing thermal performance in the warm Atlanta sun.
Living Learning Community
The Vision
The University of Nevada, Reno completed construction of a new five-story, 124,000-square-foot Living Learning Community building in June 2012 to accommodate up to 320 students. Living learning communities are designed to integrate student learning with on-campus residential living, helping students make connections and develop friendships with those who have similar academic interests. Students are assigned to the same floor in the residence hall, take one or more core courses in the building and actively participate in their floor communities. The University of Nevada, Reno, currently offers nine distinctive Living Learning Communities within the building focused on journalism, business, Women in Science and Engineering, education, pre-nursing, engineering, art and honors. The accommodations in the building are suite-style with three different configurations housing four, five, or six students per suite.
The Airolite Look…
livinglearning-2.jpgThe new Nevada Living Learning Community is the first of its kind on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno. This innovative structure and striking design were intended to serve as a recruiting tool and make a dramatic statement about the University’s commitment to sustainable and contemporary architectural design. The environmentally sensitive design included many features that helped the building earn LEED Silver Certification.
The architect and building owner wanted to maximize outdoor views and daylight in the common areas where students gather to enhance the living experience while reducing solar heat gain.
Eighty-two sections of Airolite vertical rectangulartube sun contols and horizontal airfoil sun controls were installed on the front façade/atrium area with a southern exposure to provide a unique and aesthetically pleasing solution to daylighting and energy control objectives. Another section of sun controls was installed on the building’s West-facing elevation overlooking an outdoor courtyard area. All the sun controls as well as nine sections of Airolite Drainable Louvers (Model K6774) were finished with a custom, color match two-coat gold Kynar 500® resin coating selected by the architect to match window and curtainwall systems while complementing the red and gold tones in the exterior brick work.
That Works

Custom sun controls were strategically placed horizontally on several elevations to allow abundant views from the interior. The vertical sun controls were installed between the curtainwall systems’ deep decorative caps. All product was finished with a custom, color match two-coat gold Kynar 500® resin coating.
The Airolite louvers, Model K6774, can achieve high volume air flow while providing superior resistance to water penetration. Drainable louvers are fabricated with gutters at the front edge of each blade to prevent water droplets from dropping onto lower blades and entering the intake air flow.
Architect Peter Grove of Collaborative Design Studio was very pleased with the look and functionality of the Airolite louvers and sun controls. He stated, “The nice clean lines, style and depth of shades provide the look and daylight desired while also reducing solar heat gain.”
