Isaacs said he expects the oxidizing copper on the columns to shift over time from the riveting turquoise-green to a softer, more bronzy verdigris. But the bright color suits a building intended as a statement about living life with fearless dedication to transformation. The Roth Center is designed with abstract Judaic symbolism on the outside.
Meeting rooms feature overhead clouds and closets in the form of sheds.
Special offices are marked with pitched roofs and windows. The building is fabulous. I believe architecture should be orienting. Developed by Isaacs' company, Legacy Homes, the project has been lauded by Louisville Mayor Dave Armstrong for its role in urban revitalization. Isaacs also has developed homes in Western Louisville, Portland and Old Louisville.
