Integration with Context

Respecting its historic neighbors while looking toward the future, the building’s ground floor materiality features brick veneer and metal detailing that reference the historic Grigsby Building immediately to the east.

This contextual relationship ensures the new development blends harmoniously with its surroundings, strengthening the continuity of downtown Redlands’ architectural character.

Modern Design Expression

As the building rises, its design evolves into a contemporary interpretation of industrial aesthetics. Expansive glass façades create a sense of openness and connection, while passive horizontal shade louvers add both environmental performance and visual rhythm.

The balance of traditional materials and modern elements ensures the building resonates with the historic fabric of downtown while clearly presenting a forward-looking identity.
