Solano Transportation Authority HQ

Maximizing openness in this new head office

Solano Transportation Authority HQ

Located in Solano County, California, the transportation authority was previously housed in two rented office spaces with a definite lack of meeting spaces and a challenge of reduced collaboration.

Stella worked to simplify the process for the glazing contractor by:

  • One less task to coordinate – Stella created the system and supplied design, engineering, shop drawings, and glass fabrication drawings
  • Savings on-site labour costs – easy-to-install frameless system with quick adjustments when the mounting surface is uneven
  • Happy client – the system looks great offering uninterrupted glass panels – no posts breaking up the views

The design for this new space solved these issues with Stella’s transparent glass balustrades playing a key role in creating an open workspace.

For the glazing contractor, US Glass, Stella offered a near turnkey solution by handling the engineering, design, and glass fabrication drawings in addition to our actual product – the very installer-friendly Posiglaze system (see here).

Stella’s base-mounted Posiglaze system facilitated uninterrupted, completely transparent views. The glaziers loved its unique adjustment system that allows easy horizontal adjustments via a patented system; essentially when fitting Posiglaze channel to an uneven surface, the angle of the channel can be countered by the adjustment of the glass.
Posiglaze (with a Stella-designed matching aluminum top cap) was used in two focal areas.
Area one was on the second floor overlooking the entrance lobby; Area two was surrounding the third floor’s rooftop deck (part of a larger community gathering space).

Per architect LPAS’s description of these areas where Posiglaze was used was a success (source):

“The transparent lobby is open and inviting to the public….
(and) STA employees enjoy spectacular views of the Suisun City Marina from the third-storey conference room and rooftop deck.”
