                    The Clements Subaru dealership in Rochester, Minnesota, features a large curtain wall system, bright signage and a modern facade.                
            
                    According to the architects, the interesting texture options available in channel glass and their daylighting benefits were a deciding factor. Photo by Bendheim.

                    To take advantage of the site’s visibility from the elevated subway lines, the design addresses the two main programs of commercial office space and retail space with dynamically intersecting volumes. Murdock Solon Architects completed this project.                
            
                    Modern pathway lighting was chosen to pair with the classic exterior architectural design, by Structura.                
            
                    Design Engineers collaborated closely with the architects at Steven Holl and BNIM and the engineers at TransSolar to integrate the mechanical and electrical systems into the design concept for the University of Iowa School of Art building.                
            
                    By introducing diffuse natural daylight into a commercial setting, space not only becomes more energy-efficient but also more productive. Studies have shown that the use of natural light in commercial spaces improves employee satisfaction, reduces absences, and boosts employee productivity levels.                
            
                    The “dual nature” of the stainless steel perforated EcoScreen panels, serves as both a transparent and reflective surface.                
            
                    This residential building cleverly provides a self-shading facade for its residents as well as privacy.
