Front-window bakery material. Catches the eye, delivers the goods.
Summary
Architect Sylvia Richards designed a research building for biotech company Adimab in Lebanon, New Hampshire, featuring a unique combination of timber and mirrored panels on the exterior. The building is strategically designed to blend with its forested surroundings and preserve an existing wetland on the site. The mirrored panels create a "supernatural" effect by reflecting the natural environment, while the timber construction maintains harmony with the wooded setting. The project represents an innovative approach to integrating architecture with natural landscapes while serving the needs of a biotechnology research facility.
