Dolese Support Services Center
Design Firm: Butzer Architects & Urbanism
Contractor: Flintco
Dolese Support Services Center is a ready-mix concrete supplier in Oklahoma City. According to the AIA, This project exudes ‘quarriness.’ In a design that is simultaneously massive and delicate, somber and playful, the building beckons one in like a rock formation that is at once tantalizing and foreboding.
“While architectural metaphors can be tricky to pull off, the jurors agreed that this one works both as a metaphor and a successful design in its own right. Stairs as ‘chutes,’ central conference and collaboration spaces nestled in the ‘gem,’ and the main axis through the building, the ‘fissure,’ are elegantly arranged and detailed, in contrasting refined and industrial fashion.” - AIA Design Awards Committee
