About the Project

Dates: 1994-2001
Square footage: 10,000 GSF

The Beehive isn’t a form. It’s forms. And the forms change accutane.

The Beehive is a new office building that is inserted into an existing fabric of warehouses. A two-story dilapidated building is removed and a new two-story structure is built over its footprint. The site is captured on three sides by existing buildings, leaving only 35-feet of public street façade amoxil. The architectural emphasis is on the front element, which forms the identity of the entire building propecia.

The ground floor of the Beehive is the main entrance and reception area. A stair leads up to a second level conference room. A second stair triangulates around a pyramidal skylight and forms the roof of the Beehive. A roof terrace provides spectacular views of the city and a space for small informal gatherings. Stairs rise to the roof. Stairs are the roof. The edge of the stair is cut to conform to the exterior wall.

The exterior wall is contingent on the position of four bent interior columns. Each column leans, folds, breaks – independent of the other three. Each manipulation, a response to the square footage requirements of the second-floor conference room, redirects the shape. Curved horizontal pipe-beams at four-foot intervals connect the columns and confirm the form initiated by the columns. The skin of the building is a shingle system of glass planes and thin sheet metal walls that is expressed on both the interior and exterior.

The Beehive and adjacent buildings are set back from the street to create a garden plaza. The grass mounds were built up to form a semi-private area along the busy street and configured with steps, mounds and plateaus in anticipation of people meeting, lunching, ore relaxing in the landscape.
