Condo-World, a property management firm, was growing rapidly and needed more space for both it administrative/sales staff and for its guest registration services.  The resulting building by Mozingo + Wallace contains a registration lobby rivalling any grand hotel but instead of guest suites along the hallways leading from that space are offices for the management company.  The lobby holds some seating space, but since guests all tend to arrive close to the same time, it contains plenty of air-conditioned queuing space in front of the check-in desk, where keys and directions to condos are handed out.  Though surrounded by glass, heat gain in the lobby is tempered by a slatted shade structure on the exterior on the afternoon sun side of the lobby. First floor offices are reached through dual corridors off the lobby that loops through the office wing. Executive offices with window views line the exterior side of the corridor which surrounds a reservation call center.  The hallways meet at the opposite end of the building at the employee’s common area, a combination break room and workspace. The second floor of offices is laid out in a similar fashion, with the hallways opening onto a balcony overlooking the lobby at one end and a glass-enclosed stairway at the opposite end of the building. Due to the intense summer sun in this location, all windows are protected by shade structures to prevent heat gain.  The exterior of this building is finished with a combination of finished aluminum and wood-look panels, yielding a modern look tempered by the welcoming wood textures. The office building is only Phase I of this project.  To fill in the remainder of the available space in this block, Phase II consists of three floors of apartments above ground floor restaurant/retail spaces.  A series of balconies at the apartments provide a walkway cover for the storefronts below.  Though the Phase II building uses the same finishes as the offices, the articulation of the balconies and glazed storefronts make this building’s separate functions readily identifiable.
