Staffelbach Completes Green Project in McKinney

Dallas, TX, December 08, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Nationally-recognized interior architecture and design firm, Staffelbach, has recently completed a LEED Silver project in McKinney, Texas.

Independent Bank at 1600 Redbud in McKinney is located in a 64,000 square foot building. Staffelbach collaborated with Jim Wilson Architects to design all of the interior spaces including the public lobby, the floors and the structural, publicly visible walls.

“Staffelbach strives to merge client’s desires with the needs of the environment,” said Jo Heinz, Staffelbach President and CEO. “Some of the things that we were able to do included utilizing regional materials and sources which cuts down on fuel costs and minimizes shipping impact on our air. We also captured the highest amount of credits for daylight and views for the occupants of the building. By working with the owner and the implementation team we were able to achieve LEED Silver Certification for this project.”

Also included in the design scope by Staffelbach were the multi-tenant corridors and common area restroom renovations. Staffelbach’s expertise in LEED requirements was used in the decisions for recycling of building materials and the decisions in fixtures as well as the design of lighting and finishes.
