Heating and Cooling building was conceived as a giant heating duct, with the heating and cooling aspects of the company's business represented in the blue tinted glass and the hot red metal panels at the entry. For economy and scale, a standard single-sloping metal framing system was employed for the building's construction. Carving out one corner of the building to accommodate the curved red panels created a dynamic entry without any changes to the standard column and beam configuration. Including site work, the 6,600 sq. ft. building cost just 67 dollars/sq, ft. to build.
