The pre-cast double tees act as both a main structural element and architectural parti while also providing a measure of cost-efficiency and material economy in the building. Architecturally, the double-tee is a simple formal gesture that yields a rhythmic quality when compounded across the span of an entire floor. The tee also allows for the integration of mechanical ductwork that can be hidden from view, and for the integration of a skylight system at the top double height space. The tees are robust structurally, able to span up to 50 feet and provide a column-free work space. We have chosen to customize the pre-cast tees to support our cladding system, with steel embeds supporting aluminum framing and insulated laminated glass units.
