Medical Office Building
Our project posits a conceptual design for a new medical office building for a local developer, in an area of the city being rezoned to higher density. Although adjacent to the down town core, this area currently houses single story suburban office buildings surrounded with surface parking. Future planning allows construction to a maximum height of 5 stories, and calls for the area to be served by a major public transportation hub. As the first project within the new zoning allowance, the MOB finds its form in response to the anticipated increases in building and pedestrian density and the general “urbanization” of the area.
Project goals:
+ Transform the typology of medical office buildings to serve as a catalyst
for meaningful “city making”.
+ Transcend the limits of traditional “Building and Site Design” for medical office buildings and
propose a new paradigm of fully engaged “Urban Design”.
