This office complex and parking deck is located directly across from the Michigan State Capitol on a tight urban site. The 10-story, 160,000 sq. ft. office building has 14,500 sq. ft. of retail space on the first level. An attached 9-story, pre-cast parking structure with over 1,200 spaces provides parking for workers and visitors. One of the retail spots — an upscale restaurant — seats 120 people in its 2,640 sq. ft. dining room and is served by a 2,400 sq. ft. full-service kitchen. The front and back bars feature granite tops with glass mosaic tiles on the back walls.

Green building was the primary focus of this 4-story, 108,000 sq. ft. office building located along the St. Clair river in Port Huron, Michigan. The building was designed with a number of environmentally-friendly features, including natural lighting throughout, a bioswale for rainwater runoff, and green plantings on the 3-story, 400 space parking ramp to reduce urban water runoff and the “heat island effect” common to cities. Here, too, light-colored surfaces have been used to improve reflectivity and emissivity which have a significant impact on the cooling load of a building.

This new 25,000 sq. ft., two-story headquarters for the Portland Federal Credit Union houses the daily financial operations for its members who are located in three counties plus the city of Lansing, Michigan. The headquarters also houses several behind-the-scenes departments including Accounting, IT, Marketing, the Call Center, and Training.
