Amvest Corporate Headquarters Charlottesville, Virginia
Client: Amvest Corporation Size: 28,000 gsf Completion: 1986
Set into a hill, the brick structure bridges the site’s major streambed, filtering and redirecting its flow into a lake via open stone channels on either side of a tall central pavilion. The building is thus a dam and waterworks for the area as well as the headquarters for an important regional company. The three-story pavilion, containing a lakeside cafeteria, entry level executive suite, and top floor boardroom, is flanked by two-story office wings.
