Fish-Scale Patterning
STAR Center | Tacoma, WA, USA
The new community center lies at the heart of a redeveloped regional sports and recreation campus. The primary functions are arranged as an arced series of nesting units that open to the landscaped surroundings and offer views of nearby Mount Rainier. The red Swisspearl clad facade features a unique fish-scale pattern and forms an integral part of an overarching sustainability strategy.
