ATHENS COUNTY ENGINEERS OFFICE
The Athens County Engineer Office spreads its brow out across the valley of the Hocking River and surrounding foothills. The structure encasing the open office cantilevers out to offer employees a 180° uninterrupted view. The county engineer wanted a building where citizens would feel welcome and not intimidated. To do so, we sought transparency throughout the building and also incorporated environmental efficiencies along the way. While the office is daylit, we still considered cooling loads by having low-e glazing installed. In winter, a localized natural gas well supplements the heating demands.
