SEPTEMBER | Apex Plaza – Charlottesville, Virginia
With 151,000 office spaces, 6,800 square feet of retail space, and a 102,000 square foot podium concrete parking structure, Apex Plaza is the tallest and first-ever large-scale Mass Timber building in Virginia. This 265,000-square-foot building redefines sustainable design with solar-powered electricity, exemplifying its commitment to eco-conscious practices.

Gracing the reception area of Apex Plaza, Seem 1 Acoustic Trio seamlessly merges sustainable practices with aesthetics and functionality. Its clean design adds dimension without overpowering the simplicity of the space. In conference rooms and shared areas, Seem 1 Direct provides illumination, enhancing the ambiance. The addition of Blume 4, a decorative PET felt pendant, adds shape and warmth to the dining booths, pulling the dining area aesthetic together. Strategically placed in Apex Plaza’s conference rooms filled with natural lighting, Eave introduces a touch of green while optimizing lighting efficiency and minimizing ecological impact. Together, these elements highlight Apex Plaza’s dedication to sustainable design, creating an inspiring environment that reflects the future of sustainable architecture and design.
