First lines

The corner, the canopy and the court: the first lines, before the model.

Black steel · Brick · Glass

A two-story headquarters for a construction company on the edge of Midland: offices and a lobby in a black steel and glass volume on a brick base, a shop and yard behind, a covered court for the crew, and a parking field lit for the end of the shift.

Concept

A building that looks like the company: plain, dark, well made, and open where it meets people. The glass turns the corner at the lobby so the whole office reads as one lit room from the road.

Structure

Steel frame with corrugated black steel cladding, a brick plinth and entry, curtain glass on two sides of the upper floor, a metal building shop behind, cedar pergolas over the court and the parking, and a cantilevered canopy at the door.

Challenge

A blank, flat site on the highway. The brief was an experience, not a building: a place where the work and the company's culture meet, and a natural billboard seen from the road.

Result

Design, structure and the permit set from one studio; construction under way.
