WAVELAND BUSINESS CENTER

-A A +A
2009–2012, Unabridged Architecture. 228 Coleman Ave.

Hurricanes have taken a particularly heavy toll on Waveland, which sits near sea level. This modern interpretation of the southern dogtrot form shelters three “pods” and a front porch under a shed roof. Constructed of steel, concrete, and wood-composite rainscreen siding, the combination civic and commercial building received LEED Silver certification. Across the street at 301 Coleman is the two-story Classical Revival Waveland City Hall (2011, B.D.A. Architects). At number 338, Unabridged Architecture reconstructed the Tudor Revival former Waveland Elementary School (1927) for use as a civic center.
