A new, four-story, 30,000-square-foot medical facility.  The primary form of the building is set in a cradle of glass suspended on pilotis.  The construction is simple steel frame and concrete-filled metal deck with a rear cantilever component suspended from a trussed frame at the upper level.  A sculpted exterior form has been designed to create opportunities for outdoor terraces on each level.  One of the main features of the building, in addition to a glass elevator, is a large cantilevered porte cochere that works with the cradle structure to support the building’s main body.
