Mama Lycha
Providing a prominent, welcoming street presence, this building opens onto a busy intersection with the firm mass and openness of tilt-up construction. The main-entry layers panels with oversize openings. The centerpiece is a 28-foot by 40-foot tilt-wall panel projecting from the entry corner, which has a 23-foot by 27-foot punched opening. To maintain the foundation’s integrity for the cooler and freezer areas, several tilt-wall panels were stacked during casting and walked into place during lifting.

About the Tilt-Up Concrete Association
Founded in 1986, the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) strives to improve the quality and acceptance of site-cast Tilt-Up construction - one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, combining the advantages of reasonable cost with low maintenance, durability, speed of construction and minimal capital investment. Over 10,000 buildings, enclosing more than 650 million square feet, are constructed each year using this construction method.
