CHARLESTON, SC
Lowcountry Land Trust, a non-profit conservation organization based in Charleston, trusted OMNI to assist with development and project management of its new 7,000 square foot office building in Charleston. The 4-acre tract, originally part of the Ashem Farm adjacent to Charlestowne Landing, involves an environmentally responsible design that reduces storm water run-off, minimizes tree removal and maximizes canopy preservation, and incorporates numerous other environmentally sensitive outdoor building techniques and materials. The Ashem Office Building embodies sustainable building practices utilizing a mass-timber frame structure, reclaimed brick, and wood components that fit naturally in the existing landscape. The project includes a lovely 1,200 square foot event space, complete with a catering kitchen to host meetings and events, plus the Lowcountry Land Trust HQ.
