Architect D2 Group worked with client, Equus Capital Partners, to create a unique branding and design strategy for their new headquarters at their 218 acre master planned development, Ellis Preserve at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.  Built by IMC Construction, the headquarters invokes a “gentleman farmer” feela dn is designed with an environmental consciousness using reclaimed materials and the pursuit of LEED Gold certification.  That pursuit is aided by the use of the 98% energy efficient Knight Wall Systems CI and HCI cladding support assembly over DuPont Performance Building Solutions XArmor CI continuous insulation and air barrier systems.

The assembly was able to efficiently and cost effectively accommodate the various cladding materials chosen to complete the exterior of the project, including local natural stone, metal and wood.
