ABSTRACT

DPR Construction renovated an abandoned building into this 16,500-square-foot office in 2011 and achieved net zero energy performance for a cost premium of about $83 per square foot. In addition to office and support spaces like conference rooms, the building also contains a wine bar, kitchen café, fitness center, training room, and meditation room. Owner DPR Construction, a national commercial construction company specializing in highly technical and sustainable buildings, led the project’s design-build team with the goal of creating a building that was cost-effective as well as high performing.
