Award of Excellence, AIA Tennessee

Alloy at Tech Hill was given an Award of Excellence from AIA Tennessee in the awards reception last week. The following jury comments were provided:

“While Alloy’s outward expression is fun and playful, its employment of pre-fabricated modular construction speaks to a more technical side of design and the architect/ fabricator/contractor collaboration. The jury appreciated the attention the designers took in explaining the process and why it is important in terms of construction time, material resources, and quality control. The exterior material choice, colors, and super graphics characterize an industrial vernacular appropriate for the context. Minor slippages in massing, angling of forms, and perforated quality of the metal skins offer nice moments of surprise.”
