Switch Data Centers, Reno, NV

The facade is a continuous, solid wall, broken only by a slight impression of the rhythmic placement of the exhaust fans, and of course, the roof, monolithic and white. The building itself is a monolith, and it is further closed off by a perimeter fence and brick wall that act as a second skin. The viewer is kept at a distance, left to observe from the curb. The entire structure is a gated community for machines; there is no visually apparent entrance, only a logo.
