Eagle View Landing Office Building 4 Design Review Narrative
The proposed "Office Building 4" at Eagle View Landing is 5 stories, with nearly 25,000 square
feet per floor and 125,000 square feet overall. The initial shell construction will contain a central
core with restrooms, janitor's closet, elevators, and an electrical room.
The site is located on the southeast quadrant of Eagle Road and 1-84, in Eagle View Landing.
This development's location serves as a gateway to Meridian and the growing Treasure Valley.
The development is being planned as such, with a mix of commercial offices and retail buildings.
Office Building 4 is designed to be integral and cohesive to this development. There is
consistency in the materiality and architecture, while appearance and massing is varied and adds
visual interest. Office Building 4 will be of similar scale to adjacent planned office buildings.
The Office Building 4 form is similar to proposed adjacent office buildings. It utilizes an efficient
rectangular form with exposed stair towers adjacent to main entrances, helping to break up the
north and south elevations. The southeast corner of the first floor will have openings that lead to
an exterior patio and a shared courtyard area between this building and building #5. The
exterior walls at the southeast and southwest corners on the fifth floor are set back to create
covered patios. High performance glazing maximizes daylight within while taking advantage of
views. A masonry base grounds the building while providing a more durable material adjacent
to higher traffic exterior areas. Above the base, an EIFS border provides facade articulation, a
feature building element which provides areas for major tenant signage, as well as accent
lighting that subtly highlight architectural elements and adds visual interest. The remainder of
the facades are of metal panels and masonry.
Primary building entries, with adjacent stair towers act as "beacons," which define their locations
from a distance. Entries are proportioned for pedestrian scale and comfortable approach for
daily users. The stair towers are broken up with vertical windows that allow natural light into the
stairwells, promoting occupant use over elevators throughout the day while backlighting from
within to define their location at night.
Building massing, materiality and proportions work together to create a unified building with a
modern, clean aesthetic.
