The Garick Group New Headquarters project features a contemporary office and warehouse/manufacturing building on a 4-acre site in East El Paso. Designed for energy efficiency and durability with low maintenance costs, the structure uses a concrete tilt-up wall system. The office building includes side wall projections and awnings for sun control.

East El Paso is one of the largest and fastest-growing areas of the city. Characterized by significant residential and commercial development, it has become a major hub for retail, industrial parks, and new housing communities, reflecting the city's overall economic expansion.
A concrete tilt-up wall system is a construction method where large concrete wall panels are cast horizontally on the building's floor slab or a temporary casting bed. After curing, these panels are tilted up vertically with a crane and braced into position to form the building's exterior walls. This method is known for its speed of construction, durability, and cost-effectiveness, especially for large warehouse and industrial buildings.
Sun control in architecture refers to a variety of design strategies used to manage the amount of solar heat and visible light that enters a building. The primary goals are to reduce energy costs for cooling, minimize glare, and improve occupant comfort. Common methods include precisely calculated awnings, overhangs, vertical fins, louvers, and specialized window glazing.
