Sierra

Sierra (2014)
Macon, Georgia, U.S.A.
Commercial, Office, Tenant Space, Plaza

Sierra is a 10 story office building that just holds tenants. Despite the fact of it's style and it being a skyscraper, Holding tenant space is really all it does. I decided to give it the partially convex shape. This building would replace the old Tubman African American Museum and several more buildings that are occupied. The better and the more impressive the office space, The more that it can be found attractive. So, I decided to make this very simple. The first floor is where management and the building resources are, but from the second floor onward, Everything would be vacant until occupied by tenants. The only obstacles that would fill floors two through ten are the restrooms, the elevators and stairs, and also the janitors storage. Everything else would become the responsibility of the tenants. Adjacent to the building is a double deck where cars would park. There is currently a parking lot sitting in front of where the deck would be just incase it's filled up. If this building were to exist, it may become the top five tallest buildings in Macon. The building next to the parking deck which opposes the Sierra, would still remain up. I did this building mostly in dark grey, which is close to black, so the building would stand out more. The black color, to my opinion, shows the building's glamour.  

The top three pictures are renderings of the Sierra. The image and the look stands out and grabs peoples attention. Even though it's just a plaza, it's looked at as more of a paradise. The bottom two photo's, you can also see the parking decks.

The top two pictures above are Sierra's floor plans. The first floor is where the administration and conference rooms are. It also homes the front desk and the main storage. The second floor on through the tenth is the exact same floor plans where it's labeled 'Levels 2-10'. The red lining where it says Level 10 only show's that Level 10 has a stairway to the buildings roof. The burgundy lining on the right shows the future additional exit that would become shortcut to the parking deck if needed. There are two stairways throughout the entire building, and there are five elevators. Three of the main lobby and two more of the left just as a short trip. The two stairways are also wide to allow less limited traffic. 

Also note that Sierra faces where I had designed 'Walnut Park'. This building would sit off Walnut Street and Martin Luther King Blvd. A building style similar to this would be The First Data in South Sandy Springs, Georgia.
