Sabal Palm Plaza
This four-story office building is located on a wedge-shaped lot at the confluence of three streets in downtown Sarasota. The primary east/west thoroughfare curves just slightly west of the site, facing the building directly towards oncoming traffic. The shape of the lot and the curvature of the road were constraints that became driving forces behind the design of the building. The building is dynamic, speaking to its context and creating a sense of place within the fabric of the city.
White stucco stands out against a series of wood composite panels that form its cladding. The panels function as a rainscreen system, providing additional insulation and protection from the rain, and speaking to building sustainability within a subtropical climate. Pulling from passive design concepts, the building is organized with most of the offices facing north to receive the best possible lighting for its tenants.
