OFFICE and CORPORATE ARCHITECTURE

 

DANAC Building  

DANAC-Stiles Phase One


Coakley Williams Construction built DANAC's "World Class" Corporate Campus at the Stiles Property in Montgomery County (Phase One of DNC Master plan). This Campus represents the successful blending of the County's Goals for development and transportation issues with the needs of the Corporate Community. The site plays a prominent role in the future of the region as it works to attract the "Technologies of the Future" to Montgomery County. The buildings are positioned to maximize their presence on Key West Avenue and minimize their impact on the residential community along Decoverly Drive. The Campus Plan has resulted in the creation of an environment that will enhance the quality of life for the employees and visitors as well as the neighboring community.

Gateway 270 Clarksburg, MDGateway 270

The six buildings that make up the Gateway 270 complex range in size from 26,365 to 60,870 square feet. They are designed to accommodate a variety of uses and consequently incorporate a number of "options" to enhance the flexibility of the space. The arrangement and detailing of the face brick adds interest and relief to the facade of each building complementing the exterior aesthetic. The feature areas of each building, such as storefronts, also work to add a pedestrian scale to the tenant entrance locations.

 

 

Calverton Building VICalverton Building VI

Carrollton Enterprises is currently developing a 91,000 gross square foot office building as a compliment to their existing 17story flagship building in Calverton, Maryland. The four story speculative office building is designed to present its main entry to the dramatic facade of the flagship building without competing with the prominence of the existing architecture. A simple pre-cast and strip window skin on a long span steel structure provides an efficient, space-plan friendly floor of 22,200 rentable square feet. The building is currently in construction documents and hopes to be under construction in early 2000.

Verizon (Formerly Bell Atlantic) Mobile Regional Headquarters

A build-to-suit project for Trammell Crow to consolidate Verizon's Mobile Operations into a new 150,000 square foot office building south of Columbia, Maryland. The project was designed with training areas, cafeteria, computer room and an operations center.

Bell Atlantic Mobile Regional Headquarters
Hechingers Corporate Headquarters Hechingers Corporate Headquarters

DNC was commissioned to design a facility which would accommodate a rapidly changing environment, while providing an image consistent with the client's corporate culture. The space's flexibility was proved when Hechinger’s subleased a portion of the facility: Hughes EOSDIS moved in with minimal renovation.

Rappahannock Building

 

This new office building (still under construction) is a six story, long span composite steel structure located in a mature office park in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia. The building is sheathed in a gray pre-cast skin, with lightly reflective two story curtain wall windowRappahonock Buildings. The pre-cast frame stands proud of the glass skin giving the building a depth and added texture to the façade. At the pedestrian levels granite column bases and granite clad spandrels add to the illusion that the entire building is built of polished and flamed finish stone. Granite crenellations also occur at the top of the building and will distinguish the silhouette from longer views. The large cantilevered corners provide panoramic views

for the building occupants.

Oak Plaza

Oak Plaza is a build to suit for Suncontrol, a window shading systems contractor, located in Rockville, Maryland. The site is a remaining parcel between access ramps to I-270 from downtown Rockville and the new development on Tower Oaks Blvd. Variances and creative site planning were required to overcome the difficult configuration and build-able area of six square feet of the lot. The limited area and zoning height restraints demand

 

 

ed the limited under building parking with two office floors above. The glass and steel facade curves gracefully along the forested elevation to the dramatic front entry. A three story glass lobby accentuated the center of the building framed by silver panels. The entire core was pulled to the lobby edges in order to emphasize the 7'4" office windows around the perimeter.
