Description

"The design of the Stealth began as a consequence of remediation required for earth removal on what was formerly an industrial site. An existing 16,000 square foot warehouse was demolished and the substandard earth was removed. Rather than filling the hole, the excavation was re-shaped to form a large sunken courtyard, which is to be used for outdoor theatre seating. Six hundred removable seats face the adjacent stage. A long-span truss above allows for uninterrupted views to the proscenium from the courtyard. The 315-foot long, 60-foot high building is accessed via a glass enclosed central elevator lobby and building core. The building shape evolves over its length, providing a constantly varying sequence of exterior end interior space.
