Medical building features aluminum-clad box

摘要

For a new medical office building at 8120 Gatehouse Road, Falls Church, Va., Powers Brown Architecture designed an aluminum-clad box that slid over the building's masonry base. Reinaldo Venancio, principal at Powers Brown Architecture, says, "The box slides west over the base, creating covered areas. It aligns with the major feeder road geometry, inviting approach and establishing its presence within the existing urban fabric."
