When the laws work against you, why not outmaneuver them for the greater public good?
The LSB Headquarters with a reduced building footprint allows for an expansive public plaza, while advocating for sustainability. The cantilevering volume is self-shading, sheltering both the interior offices and the outdoor space.
A series of spatial maneuvers compensate for the loss of valuable balcony and interior space. A central courtyard compensates for the balcony allowance shift to the public.
