New Home Offices of Sequoia

Forest Industries

Emphasize Modern Beauty and Versatility of Wood

Q EQUOIA FOREST Industries, Inc., formerly the lvory \) Pirre Co.. has moved into new $65.000 home office! located on the firm's 65 acre plant near Dinuba, California.

Grant B. Potter, executive vice-president ar.rd general manager of the lumber and specialty products firm, said that the ultra-modern building was designed to demonstrate the modern beauty and versatility of wood.

"James Lockett of Visalia, the architect, used wood in both structure and decor. A11 interior woods have natural finishes that highlight the beauty of the wood grains," Potter said.

One very unique feature of the building is a wood vault. It is constructed of white fir 2 x 4's with 2 inches of insulation and then verticle redwood 2 x 4's to produce a r,vall 9'l inches in thickness. According to Potter, the wood walls of the vault have a fire rating of over two hours, which is more than the steel door.

The component frame construction permitted the erection of the roof before the sidewalls were put in place. All roof and wall sections are similar, and were pre-built in a jig. No scalTolding was necessary in the construction. The woods accented in the building ir.rclude White Fir, Incense Cedar, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine, Douglas Fir, Giant Sequoia, Coast Redwood, and Engelmann Spruce.

Many wood paneling techniques were used in the wood interior walls. The modern foyer walls are of Sugar Pine with Incense Cedar for contrast in a parquet design. The
