Award Winner : Pacific Mobile Structures, Inc.
Architectural Excellence : In designing this 4,400 sf professional office building, it was important for us to create a building that fit in with the architectural trends of Pacific Northwest construction. The result was an inviting design that incorporated the benefits of modular construction and utilized special finishes and construction on-site to complete the finished product. The open beam covered entry was central to this concept. This was built back onto a 4:12 hip roof that was installed on-site. Stacked stone wainscoting was also installed on site. Upon entering the building, there is a vaulted reception area ceiling up to 10’ with false columns and crown molding that was very unique in design. Outside of the reception area the ceiling stepped down to 9’ throughout the rest of the building.
Cost Energy Effectiveness : A combination of steel clear span construction and microlam beams supported by steel posts hidden in the interior walls were used to keep costs down with no visual or structural compromise. Three HVAC zones utilizing a split system with economizers was designed to create flexibility and efficiency in the heating and cooling system. All rooms are equipped with motion sensors with T-8 fluorescent lighting. The installation of all sections was completed in one day by pre-constructing a stem wall foundation and utilizing a crane for placement of the modules. By completing the project on site within 60 days, it allowed the owner to utilize the facility much faster than if conventional construction was used.

Technical Innovation : The factory was able to incorporate the engineering on the entire site built aspect of the project to make the assembly of the building very straight forward. The roof design and entry portico in combination with the factory components created a finished product that had no resemblance to typical modular construction. Throughout the process we made a conscience effort to not use any finishes that were considered typically used in modular buildings. Examples of this are the tape/textured walls, custom carpeting, slate tile flooring, oak hardwood fooring, tegular ceiling with parabolic lighting, custom cabinetry with unique hardware, and custom exterior lighting.
