Contactor: Mascaro Contracting
Phase: DD thru CA, Grand Opening Winter 2020
Role: Project Architect for the new helipad on the roof of an existing 13 story hospital which required the extension of existing elevators. This design was a collaborative effort to create a modern building that stands out from all angles. The layout & details were developed for a metal panel rain screen system with solar shading. The structural design & layout were economized to bring the project underbudget while maintaining the design vision.
