Project: Hickok Cole Headquarters Location: Washington, D.C. Fan Model: Essence in Silver & Black
Although beautiful, the soaring height of the skylights presented a unique design challenge as well. “The volume of space requiring conditioning posed concerns about temperature stratification, cold downdrafts in the winter, and sprinkler pipe freezing,” said Randy Stogsdill RA, Senior Project Designer for Hickok Cole. “Big Ass Fans provided us with a model of our space to demonstrate how a few fans underneath the skylights would circulate the air to address these challenges and eliminate the need to install expensive heating elements along the skylight edges.” For Hickok Cole, finding the right design solution that responds to the building and site is critical to exceeding their client expectations – even when they are the client themselves. “The Essence model provided a nice blend of clean and modern with an industrial look that tied with both the building’s history and its updated contemporary aesthetic,” said Stogsdill. “And, given the scale of the space, we wanted something that felt appropriately sized—Big Ass Fans delivered.”
