Award-Winning Office Design

摘要

The ex-Navy Seal and founder of BLACKHAWK! Products Group, Norfolk, Va., a leading U.S. manufacturer of tactical, military and law enforcement equipment, challenged the architect, HBA Architecture & Interior Design Inc., Virginia Beach, Va., to create a look for his new headquarters building that would "reflect the strength and ruggedness of our products." The design for the 65,000-square-foot (6,039-m~2) facility accomplished the task and was awarded a 2008 AIA Award of Design Excellence. The 7.5 million dollars project strategically utilized 4,800 square feet (446 m~2) of Citadel Envelope 2000 Rainscreen System panels finished in Bone White and Natural Copper by Citadel Architectural Products Inc., Indianapolis, to reflect the roots of the company and its philosophy of integrity, quality and innovation. Composite Wall Systems, Virginia Beach, installed the Citadel panels.
