Tour Indigo Hammond & Playle Architects New Office Space!
Indigo Hammond + Payle Architects a Davis based architectural firm welcomes AIA, USGBC, and Living Building Collaborative members to their recently completed building at 909 5th Street in the old Dairy Queen.
The design of their office/studio is an expression of the firms guiding principles: the integration of art, architecture and ecology to put people in touch with their environment, each other and their spiritual and cultural aspirations.
Like ecosystems, the building is designed to rely on the energy in the environment around it. During the day natural light only is used. Ventilation is provided with operable windows and louvers. In winter the sun provides warmth. In summer the building is cooled utilizing the cool night air and the cold night sky. The natural heat and cold are stored in thermal heat sinks for use when needed. Locally grown straw bales were utilized to create curving super insulated walls.
The building expands and repurposes the old Dairy Queen as a space for creative work. Sculpted columns inspired by the equisitum (a native marsh plant) support midcentury modern gull wing glue-lamb beams creating a timeless atmosphere.
