The design intent for the new Ifly building is to create an engaging, distinctive archi-tectural expression that communicates beauty and exhilaration of the dream of flying to visitors and passers-by alike.
If you believe in the long-term value of connective and targeted design in service to your success, we can deliver.

A cool, nuanced color palette combined with soft, curved lines and
interesting building geometry will serve to create an iconic, compel-
ling architectural presentation. At the pedestrian level, vivid con-
trasting coloration along with playful environmental graphics create
a strong, highly detailed invitation to visitors.
Two primary challenges associated with the Ifly building design
served to influence the architectural expression of the building.
First, given that the flight experience within the building is depen-
dent on theatrical, controlled lighting within the flight chamber,
exterior glazing was kept to a minimum. In response to the dimin-
ished amount of glazing, the surface of the building was articulated
with curved lines, strong environmental graphics and a rich, six color
finish palette.
The result is a visually dynamic building envelope.
Also, the significant mechanical superstructure required to accom-
plish the wind velocities necessary for the flight attraction neces-
sitated an architectural strategy for accommodating the scale and
geometry of the machine. The final geometry of the building utilizes
the shape of the mechanical system to create a unique, iconic
silhouette for the building as well as a staging point for distant-read
environmental graphics.
When viewed from afar, the design of the facility will become a
neighborhood icon, reflective of the vitality of the community. When
experienced up-close, the interesting building geometry coupled
with its softly curved lines and sophisticated color palette will create
a strong invitation to visitors and contribute to an exciting, hu-
man-scaled addition to the local neighborhood fabric.
