This is a project that is built to improve with age. The exterior displays the firm’s commitment to an architecture that endures, manifest in the use of low-maintenance construction materials such as cement-board siding, aluminum windows and a steel roof. Such efforts have resulted in Compass House receiving LEED Gold certification.
