A heated stamped concrete entry walkway eliminates snow and ice accumulation except during the heaviest storms. Keycard security system and magnetic door locks at each entrance. The two-story lobby brings Lake Tahoe indoors (with the stone floor replicating a meandering creek bed, museum-quality replica ponderosa pine trees, a waterfall and ponds, abundant natural light, and waiting area with fireplace). The focal point of the lobby is the massive 2,000 pound floating black granite ball fountain engraved with a map of the world, spinning atop a 10,000 pound natural stone boulder. On the mountain side of the lobby is the first floor Suite 150, a 2,000 sf suite with two private restrooms. Main access is through the lobby, with an additional rear exit, and potential for direct access to parking lot. Behind the custom-built curved reception desk and elevator is an occupied 3,000 sf Suite 100 with an adjacent 1,000 sf 2-car garage in which are located the nearly silent variable speed pumps for the high-efficiency ground-source heat pump HVAC system serving the entire building. Above this suite, the 4,000 sf lake side second floor Suite 200 has access from either of two sets of stairs (interior and exterior) or the elevator, and two exterior decks. On the second floor, the 1,300 sf Suite 250 has two private offices, systems furniture for 4 additional workstations, a private bath and shower (and a private deck). Also on the second floor, the 1,200 sf Suite 205, with two offices and a private restroom, used as financial services offices. Building common areas include restrooms, a shower, a full kitchen, outdoor patio with picnic tables, umbrellas and BBQ. Additional building features: skylights, built-in office furniture system, every workstation pre-wired with Cat 5 cabling for each data and telephone, white-noise sound masking, parabolic lighting fixtures for reduced glare, enclosed dumpster, multiple lawns, lobby directory and street-front tenant signage. All work spaces throughout the entire building were designed for flexibility of future use by maximizing open space.
