The intersecting curves that cut through the lobby of
the building are asserted in the ceiling, along the floor,
and in the lighting. "To take that further, we took the
terrazzo materials that Barbara wanted to use on the
interiors, and we matched precast concrete pavers to
the colors as much as we could," Fisher says.
Nature finds its way through all the floors via earthy
tones and vibrant color accents (a different color
scheme for each floor), along with bold, wall-sized
graphic images of flora, particularly in the public
spaces. This design choice, Huelat says, was born
out of necessity. "The county didn't give us any art
budget," she says. "So we integrated all graphic and

lit, it's highly visible, and all the landscaped spaces connect to multiple entrances."
Despite some initial concerns from both staff and
users about losing the independent, cozy nature of their
previous workplaces, Williams is emphatic about the
results and how the community has responded. "They
love it!" Williams says. "People are happy, they're proud
to come into this building now. Our compliance rate
went up. Incidents are way down." He adds that they've
received many queries from other systems interested in
Merrifield's model, and notes that Fairfax County plans
to replicate many of the building's strategies in other
projects in the works.
"We brought consumers to the building, to give them
