The Sarasota Herald – Tribune Headquarters
A 72,000 sf building for newspaper offices and broadcasting studios. This building capitalizes on the natural environment with big overhangs and louvers to create shade on the facades while allowing natural light to penetrate the interior spaces. Modern technology was the key to accomplishing this as it allowed for a building that was far more weather resistant and fuel-efficient with vast expanses of hurricane-resistant glass.
The employee cafeteria located on the top level along the street, adjoins a covered terrace above the entrance lobby allowing outdoor dining. The terrace also provides a dramatic space for staging community events for which the paper is also known.
