Fiskars
This project was designed to use tilt-up in innovative ways. For example, this building incorporates glass planes under the projecting roof plane. Steel tubes were casted integrally with the tilt-up walls and then projected upward to carry the roof load while maintaining capacity for resisting lateral loads.
The tilt-up panels are articulated by rustication joints and a continuous glass top. We explored alternative finishes, which are applied over load-bearing tilt-up walls at visually important points.

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.
