Commercial
Projects have been an important component
in the practice of architecture at Langley &
Associates Architects, LLC. Efficient construction
techniques, straightforward building geometry and easily-to-build detailing
are essential to the success of commercial projects. This simplicity,
however, does not diminish the importance of a creative image. Commercial
buildings, more than any other project type, must express a positive,
attractive image through architectural design in order to meet marketing
needs. An attractive, marketable tenant space or positive corporate image
is crucial for the success of commercial projects.

Plastic Omnium Distribution Center
Duncan, SC
Plastic Omnium Offices and Warehouse Facilities consist of a
combination of office/meeting space,light assembly and material storage.
Each facility is structurally designed as a pre-engineered metal building,
allowing economy and flexibility in construction. Due to the large
footprint of the structure, master planning of site usage was critical in
the early stages of design discussions. This enabled the client to
investigate various options for future development and expansion. The
second task put to Langley & Associates in early design
discussions was creating a corporate image for the company. The gracefully
curved stucco facade draws focus to the entrance, and serves as the public
image that Plastic Omnium has chosen to incorporate into future
facilities.
