The first phase of construction is the building called 901 Cherry. The roof of the building is covered in native grasses and wildflowers, reflecting the natural diversity of the surrounding terrain. These plantings re-establish the coastal savannah ecosystem on the building's roof, which provides thermal and acoustic insulation while protecting the building's waterproofing membrane. Daylight, fresh air, and views of the outdoors are celebrated throughout the two-story structure. All occupants are no more than thirty feet from a source of daylight.
Fresh air is also plentiful.
The light monitors vent warm exhaust air, and there are operable windows throughout the building. The up-front cost of these features will be offset by operating savings within the first six years of occupancy, quickly resulting in net savings. All rights reserved.
