PROJECT PROFILE AWARDS 2023

_ Genesis Office Addition

Elmwood, Wisconsin

Designer: Lars Architectural Services LLC

Contractor: Zintl Inc.

The three-story, 80,000-square-foot office addition features 52 fully engineered prefabricated exterior wall panels using thin masonry brick, masonry stone veneer and a high performance finish. Each featuring continuous insulation, the panels were prefabricated off site with an installation time of seven days. The main entrance features 34-foot tall stone veneer pilasters that were constructed in one piece and craned into position. Each one weighed approximately 10,000 pounds. The tallest, 41-foot panels bypass each level of the building, which represents how EIFS continuously evolves and pushes the boundaries of construction while providing solutions at the same time.

Emery Hotel Lobby }

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Designer: Studio MAI; Tushie Montgomery Architects;

Landscape Designer: McCaren Designs

Contractor: Designer Speciality Products LLC

Situated in the heart of downtown Minneapolis in the historic Midland Bank building, the Emery Hotel was designed to revive and beautify the historic space by filling it with natural light and greenery. The urban oasis and biophilic design helps enhance the guest experience while improving well-being and health. To ensure a proper amount of daylight, 14 Solatube SkyVault M74 DS units were used to capture sunlight on the rooftop and transfer natural light deep into the historic bank lobby—on both sunny and cloudy days. The SkyVault Collector and Amplifier extensions also were added to improve the delivery of daylight to the lobby floor.
