Household Credit Card Service Center
Architect(s): JMA Architecture Studios
Address: 1111 Town Center Drive
Year: 1998

Located within the Summerlin business center, the Household Credit Card Service Center stands out as being nicer than the average office building. Containing over 140,000 square feet of space, this massive building features an interior courtyard in the center, which is clearly denoted with a large, arched section of glass above the main entrance. The building is clad in sandstone panels, which make it stand out against the mountains to the west. Windows are either recessed or have shading devices to protect from the harsh desert sun. The building has been described as conveying a sense of civic importance within its master planned community.
