A Silicon Valley Business Journal Structures award winner for Best Office Building (small category), this six-story, steel frame structure serves as the new headquarters for one of California’s oldest, independent, family-owned and managed banks. Located in Fremont’s downtown, this project revitalizes the commercial district. The building features a roof top gathering place, all-glass frontage doors, a two-story grand hall, linear wood ceilings, and an angular roof trellis. A satellite dish on the roof records ambient light and the sun’s position while working in conjunction with “fins” on the façade and electrochromatic glass to tint according to sunlight. Overaa provided extensive preconstruction services.
