American Omni

Project summary provided by submitting company.

American Omni Trading Company is an international import and export company offering products and services for tire dealers and distributors worldwide. Their new 31,562 SF Houston headquarters was designed using load bearing tilt wall construction, including a curved corner feature inspired by the very tires they distribute. This curved element houses the company’s training and employee break and recreation areas. A second floor balcony matching the same curvature of the panels is accessed from these employee areas and is supported, in part, by a single pipe column wrapped in the company’s corporate color.
