UGN Santa Fe IV
Project summary provided by submitting company.
A subtle and appealing design was one of Lintel's goals in the design of the building as a way to emphasize our clients' company logo.
UGN is a leader in the production of acoustic deadening materials for the automotive industry. Their company logo is trailed by "sound waves" that express the nature of their product's relation with the mitigation of sound. On the main facade the "sound waves" of the logo were carved out in tilt up panels which are fixed in front of a red background to provide a dynamic effect to the company symbol.
The arched portion of the logo is echoed throughout the rest of the main facades to enhance the architectural appeal of the building.
