seven trees community center and branch library

Architect:  Rob Wellington Quigley 

Contractor:  Gonsalves & Stronck Construction Co.

Concrete tilt-up construction might be a maligned architectural building type in the Silicon Valley. However, for this case, tilt up construction was the perfect fit to achieve the architect's vision of canted walls to improve acoustics, tall story heights, and complex openings.   Exposed steel framed queen trusses act as gravity supports, wall tension ties, and custom light fixtures.
