Woodlawn Office Building, a brick and stone office building is three
stories with a full basement and is located in the Saint Matthews
neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. Because the building is located in
the heart of a residential neighborhood, there was a desire to produce a
facility with a residential character. The residential character of the
building is achieved by using warm red brick and cream colored masonry,
a pitched roof with a seven-foot deep overhang and the extensive use of
glass. The first and second floors have 9-foot high windows on all four
sides and the entire third floor exterior wall is full glass, allowing
for an abundance of natural lighting inside the building.
The ground floor is accessible from both sides of the building in order
to facilitate easy access from the parking area. The parking area is
divided into two lots in order to minimize the impact of parking on the
building and reduce the travel distance across the lots.
Site planning included the berming of certain areas along major roadways
to minimize the effect of the building height on the adjoining
residential neighborhood. Planning considerations also included
containing the number of exits and entries to the current number serving
the retail and banking facility.
The basement consists of a conference room, workout room, restrooms,
vending area, mechanical rooms and 10,300 square feet of storage area.
The north side of the building has an excavated courtyard that is
connected to the basement conference room allowing access to outdoor
seating. Colorful landscaping was added to enhance the aesthetic appeal
and continue the residential theme.
There are entrances on the east and west sides of the building that lead
to the first floor tenant spaces and the elevator lobby. The lobby
consists of two 10-foot high curved masonry walls, floor to ceiling
glass entrances to the tenant spaces and polished porcelain tile floors.
The first floor includes two elevators, restrooms, mailrooms and 11,525
square feet of tenant space. The second and third floors have a similar
configuration with 12,725 and 13,065 square feet respectively of tenant
space.
The building construction consists of a concrete foundation with metal
stud, bar joists and braced frame structural steel. The exterior facade
consists of cast stone masonry units, and brick as well as a significant
amount of storefront windows. The roof is silver metal standing seam
roof. The interior lobby of the building also utilizes the cast stone
masonry units, but joined with one-inch embedded stainless steel strips
in place of masonry. The building features state-of-the-art mechanical,
electrical and communication systems.
