ocated in a busy commercial district, a vacant 19-year-old State Farm Insurance office building was reclaimed by an established orthopedic group seeking to redefine its practice, to secure building ownership, to create a more efficient and open work environment, and to provide a covered drop-off area, as well as ample parking, for its patients.
Program
The program is comprised four components: Patient Waiting and Public Areas; a Clinic; Doctors’ Offices; and a Physical Therapy Suite. The design of each component is organized around the existing building shell attributes, which were retained during demolition. The existing State Farm parking garage was reassembled as a new waiting room with a private, landscaped courtyard. This reconfiguration minimizes views from the waiting area to the surrounding jumble of hotels, office towers, and parking lots.
