The trick to getting windows to every office is to make a skin intensive building. Maximizing the buildings exterior gave rise the idea of breaking down the building scale by dividing it into 6 distinct parts. This allowed us to interlace the landscape with the building like one might interlace the fingers of their hands. The green house segment of the program was broken into 6 parts as well allowing the landscape to literally enter the building. This is intended to create a connection between the scientists and their subject and will also provide 6 opportunities to quarantine genetically important species should the need arise. The 6 units could also be used for different climatic zones if need be. The building as proposed is clad in concrete, glass, aluminum and brick. Fins of cast-in-place concrete radiate away from the estate house to form a modern façade on the street side of the building. The face of the building that faces the estate house is clad in brick reflecting back the warmth of the material. The building is curved to run with the proposed road. This maximizes the southern and southwesterly exposure of the green house segments. The curve also allows the sun to reach deep into the estate house side of the building. Deep over hangs on the street side of the building protect the interior research spaces from direct sun while still allowing light to penetrate the building. The connection between the scientists and their subject is reinforced by windows that allow the labs to get their light through the two story greenhouse space. The landscape should be planted to further weave the building to the site. The court on the estate side of the building will provide a cool summer garden to employees to have their lunch in the summer months. The open courts on the south side of the building will extend the outside lunch season by blocking northerly winds from would be picnickers.
