Cooper Standard Headquarters World Headquarters

This international automotive supplierโ€™s headquarters provides views and daylight with larger window openings that limit glare and heat through self-tinting technology. Large and small collaboration zones spread throughout the plan allow cross-departmental collaboration. Three different bricks and two different metal panels create layering on the exterior. The semi-glazed black brick features an iridescent finish that shimmers and changes tones as daylight conditions change.

A curving retaining wall starts at the sidewalk and wraps around to the patio. The patio leads into the Apex space which also provides a path for display vehicles entry. Dynamic tinting windows softly release to a lighter/lower tint level as the sun sets.

The C.S. Foundation emphasizes the environment and STEM learning which drove the team to reach higher on sustainability goals.

This includes:

๐Ÿƒ High Efficiency Continuous Insulation System
๐Ÿƒ Thermochromic, Dynamic Tinting Glazing
๐Ÿƒ Condensing boilers and High Efficiency baseboard system
๐Ÿƒ Demand Control Ventilation System

Together these systems join to save energy and also reduce the scale of the H.V.A.C. system.

โ€œWe greatly enjoy sharing the energy savings data from our new headquarters with our Foundation STEM groups!โ€
– Kevin Brady, C.S.
