Truhlsen Eye Institute

A Sophisticated Campus Addition

At the Stanley M. Truhlsen Eye Institute low-vision clients are better able to discern large architectural gestures, and the majority of the building consists of windowless clinical spaces with highly controlled lighting. When windows do occur, they are intended to provide a relief from the principal solid surfaces. This led to development of a material palette that lends itself to strong expression of solid/void relationships; natural stone, simple precast concrete panels, aluminum and glass.
