tonic design
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina
Originally built in the mid-’60s as one of the most progressive drycleaners in the country, this structure was left sitting vacant for many years. The new owners not only saw value in the existing structure, but were committed to re-presenting it as a respectable neighbor and an iconic building. A proactive and sustainable solution focused on an energy-efficient future was employed. New insulated glazing, a custom shade system and zinc siding were used to increase energy efficiency and reduce long term maintenance. The building now shades its interior space from glare and reduces summer heat gain by more than 70%.
