Wonder what the floors are made of. If all wood it would be a STC nightmare.

I am not against it, but more intrigued than anything. Dont know about Environmental friendly tho.

I'm thinking to build the next 100 of these buildings we would need to clear all of Oregon and half of Washington - that sounds wonderful for the environment

Yeah, the building is beautiful which has nothing to do with wood or steel enforced concrete - it's all glass is what makes it look great
