Concept

The site is located at the Fullerton Municipal Airport, and is positioned towards the closest approach for aircraft landings. In the spirit of aviation and flight, the structure celebrates a 506 ft. continuous metal roof, parallel with the runway on one side, and terminates into a 30 ft. span cantilevered “airplane wing” over the two-story glass office tower. The unique positioning of the site provided an opportunity for the building design to serve as a beacon of light for oncoming airplane traffic.
