CCS ARCHITECTURE
DIANE MIDDLEBROOK WRITERS CABINS,
WOODSIDE, CALIFORNIA
PAUL DYER/WONDERFUL MACHINE
Carl Djerassi is an author and scientist who, incidentally, played a

pivotal role in the invention of the birth control pill. This year, his philanthropic Djerassi Resident Artists Program opened a mini complex
comprising four 280-square-foot cabins in northern California.
Named in honor of his late wife, Diane Middlebrook, a biographer,
they were designed by CCS Architecture.
Each unit has a private bathroom, which certainly comes in handy
during month-long live-in residencies for writers, poets, composers,
and playwrights. CCS, which provided some of its creative services probono, installed assorted bathroom-tile samples taken from their own
materials library. Since the coastal Santa Cruz Mountain site is often
cloaked in fog, each interior provides a workspace that has a view outside through a sliding glass door. There is a sleeping nook toward the
back, and a skylight that corresponds to an opening in the leggy pre-engineered corrugated-steel canopy above, which also supports solar
panels. The cabins red-cedar siding is unfinished, to weather to silvergray over time. Craig Kellogg

RANDY BROWN ARCHITECTS

BOZELL, OMAHA
Big space, small budget? No problem for Randy Brown, who got to show his
design chops with a 7,000-square-foot office for Bozell, a 50-strong advertising
and public-relations agency in Omaha that buzzes with Generation Y graphic designers, Web programmers, and social-media mavens.
The site is on the ground floor of a former factory dating to the 1880s, and Randy
Brown Architects did virtually nothing to change its bones. Not a single wall, column, or old lighting fixture was moved. Nor was anything done to the 100-year-plus
painted wooden floor. Walls got a fresh coat of white paint, exposed bricks were
sandblasted, and the dropped drywall ceiling was removed, exposing a beautiful
wooden structure. Since Bozell eschews privacy and hierarchical trappings in favor
of an all-for-one set-up, Brown gave them a single open workspace. He did, however, provide staffers places for solitary thinking and ad-hoc meetings in the form
of a trio of freestanding structures made of salvaged wood. Somewhat like roofless,
teetering yurts, theyre the projects wow factor. Edie Cohen

CHESAPEAKE CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER, OKLAHOMA CITY

Rand Elliott has innovated yet again at Oklahoma Citys Chesapeake Energy Corporationfertile ground for the Interior Design Hall of Fame member, who has
completed 20 projects on the 111-acre campus. For his most recent contribution, the Elliott + Associates Architects principal tapped his inner kid to create the
Chesapeake Child Development Center, a 63,000-square-foot wonderland fostering curiosity and fun.
The project is a collection of buildingsclad in gray brick and Kelly green, royal blue, and Big Bird yellow aluminum-composite panelsnestled into a verdant
hillside. The vivid colors extend to the centers interior, which Elliott divided it into four primary colorcoded quadrants organized by ageinfants, 1- to 2-yearolds, and 3- to 5-year-oldsplus one for staff facilities. He supplemented corridor colors with floor graphics that familiarize children with traffic-related symbols:
arrows and wavy, double, and broken lines. A transverse corridor links all the quadrantsa 180-foot-long bolt of sunny yellow that not only bridges the sites grade
change, but also provides an indoor play ramp. Color abounds in the lobby, too. Its here that children get perhaps their first taste of contemporary design via
blocky lounge chairs by Niels Bendtsen and Quinze & Milan foam cubes. Edie Cohen

NIKE CAMP VICTORY, EUGENE, OREGON

It came and went like a flashor a swooshas youd expect from a sneaker company celebrating the art and design of speed. During the 2012 U.S.
Olympic Trials track and field competition, Nike Camp Victory, an 80-by-150-foot playground for adults by Skylab Architecture, occupied a soccer field
right next-door to the action on the University of Oregon track.
Three temporary exhibition pavilionstriangular and thrustingwere canted to evoke a runner exploding out of the starting blocks. Each steelframed structure measured 1,500 square feet and had a fabric skin of lightweight high-tensile membrane. Ranging at turns from transparent to reflective, the pavilions were accented like Nike products with the companys singular logo. Tech-driven interiors highlighted real-time athletes in motion on
the track, as well as cutting-edge materials innovations in Nike shoes. Then there was an interactive running competition involving treadmills. Nevertheless, after a run of just 10 days, the installation was disassembled and whisked away, without a trace. Craig Kellogg

ELKHORN RIVER RESEARCH STATION, SARPY COUNTY, NEBRASKA
A scientific field laboratory might not be the

place youd expect to find an architectural marvel, but thats the case when you round a certain
bend on the Elkhorn River in eastern Nebraska.
Designed by local firm Randy Brown Architects,
the testing facility is a compact 70-square-foot
wonder of angular planes that rises phoenixlike
out of the rushing waters on steel polesa
structural move that ensures the building in no
way impedes the rivers natural ebb and flow.
Pollution from factories, urban encroachment, agricultural practices, and beef feedlots
is affecting the water quality of Nebraskas rivers. This pilot project, the first of seven planned
riverside research stations, was commissioned
by the University of Nebraska at Omahas
Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory so that its scientists can study and monitor contamination levels in the regions waterways. Clad in Cor-Ten
steel, and powered by solar panels, the probe
has the weathered patina of an old sea vessel.
Inside, specimen tanks, water-testing equipment, and computer workspace are tucked into

SMALLHEALTHCARE
ZGF ARCHITECTS
The challenge in designing this 334,000-square-foot childrens component
of Legacy Emanuel Medical Center was to keep the message of serious treatment
intact while softening the medical glare. Color became a prime humanizing element, with each hospital zone themed to one of the states regions: soothing ocean
blue or cheerful sun yellow in the neonatal intensive-care unit; lush mountain green
in outpatient-procedure areas; desert orange in the same-day surgery section.
Emboldened by research establishing the strong connection children have with
imagery found in nature, ZGF Architects assigned a different regional animal to each
of the nine levels, where the mascots appear in custom art glass, emblazoned on
light boxes, and applied to zebrawood veneer. Past the LED-backlit solid-surfacing
frieze lining the two-story entry lobby, a pebble-lined path of terrazzo flooring
connects the addition to the main hospital, casually meandering past cheery
trees and birdhouses commissioned from local sculptor Larry Kirkland.

Retained to conceive a 390,000-square-foot clinical pavilion, the Interior Design health-care Giant found the prerequisites plentiful: a state-of-the-art, multitask complex with an emergency department, oncology center, conference facilities, even a helipad. But another challenge was self-imposed: Keep functionality
from quashing the design quotient.
EwingCole settled on an organic and fluid visual blueprint, totally fitting for a place that perpetuates life. Once past the entry garden, the exteriors orthogonal
geometry is supplanted by the sinuous curves of the ceiling, which bisects the two-story lobby as it soars toward skylights. In the emergency department, 43
universal-designed treatment spaces adapt to any assignmentfrom examination to decontaminationat a moments notice. In the two-level oncology center,
pops of color spread cheer across the prevailing white palette, an effect thats especially conspicuous in the infusion section, where intravenous-drug therapies
are conducted. Orange acrylic projections gesture upward over treatment zones, the color mimicking the brick exterior beyond the fritted-glass windows.

ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS

LONDON AQUATICS CENTRE
The fluid geometry so evident in the London Aquatics Centre, the celebrated swimming arena constructed post-haste for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, reflects both its functional requirements
and riverside location. Designed by Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect and firm principal
Zaha Hadid, the 215,000-square-foot structure features an undulating roof that sweeps up from the
ground like a wave, enclosing several pools, all of which have moveable booms and floors to create
different size and depth pools at the push of a button. Cleaving to the curving roofline, a ceiling system
of stained Brazilian hardwood slats accommodates highly technical light fixtures that adjust to create
correct levels for all manner of recording devices. Over the training pool, a coffered roof, pierced by
more than 100 cats-eye ceiling fixtures, filters light through stretched, perforated fabric to create
near daylight conditions no matter what the time or weather. Poured concrete interiors, including an
elegant group of sculptural diving platforms, provide a sleek backdrop for water sports. Built with the
years beyond the Olympics in mind, the center accommodates 2,500 spectators, but detachable wings,
installed during the games, allow seating for 17,500. One gateway to the Olympic Park is via the Stratford City Bridge, which is part of the centers roof. Georgina McWhirter

YABU PUSHELBERG
The Ambassador East hotel was steeped
in loreit even had a cameo role in Alfred
Hitchcocks North by Northwest. Over the
years, however, its luster faded, making the
dowager property ripe pickings for the sort
of transformation that Ian Schrager specializes in. The task of rejuvenating the grand
dame, now recast as Public Chicago under a
program strategized by Gabellini Sheppard
Associates, fell to Interior Design Hall of
Famers George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg.
At first glance, the 285 guest rooms, done
in a spectrum of pale shades, are almost
shockingly simple. Platform beds with riftcut bleached oak headboards, strippeddown steel desks, and dark walnut-stained
chairs are the primary furnishings. Yet seductive or witty flourishes, the kind that
have long characterized Schragers boutique hotels, arent entirely missing: For
instance, vintage photographs of jazz greats are placed randomly on walls, smack against door
frames, or off in corners. Downstairs in the public spaces, LED strips outline antiqued mirrors in the
lobby, custom chairs and tables gather by the fireplace in the library, and 500 resin orbs hang
from the ceiling in the Pump Room, the hotels restaurant. Thomas Connors

Recycling comes naturally in Centro Histrico, the

neighborhood around El Zcalo, Mexico Citys main
plaza, which was built by the Spanish with stone blocks
quarried from local Aztec pyramids and monuments.
Its in this tradition that an exquisite 17th-century town
house, Palacio de los Condes de Miravalle, has been
recycled as Downtown Mxico, a three-story boutique
hotel with 17 keys. Cherem Serrano Arquitectos preserved many of the 50,400-square-foot residences historical elements, ranging from volcanic-rock walls,
ribbed-and-vaulted brick ceilings, and clay tile floors to
the 1945 murals by Manuel Rodrguez Lozano. The
firms interventions include a planted exterior wall
whose vertical landscape sports paths and a meandering bicycle, but it kept most additions minimal, sympathetic,
and understated. New flooring is basalt, guest bathrooms are screened with utilitarian stacked lattice brick, and guest

Gardens set the tone: The main entrance leads through a lush garden to the hotel; trees protrude through freeform

DER SPIEGEL CANTEEN, HAMBURG, GERMANY
When Der Spiegel magazine and its stable of sister publications relocated, they left behind a beloved 1969 cafeteria by Verner Panton. How to evoke that mod
masterpiece without simply knocking it off at the new 5,700-square-foot location? Whiplash lines in the white terrazzo floor help define circulation zones. However,
Ippolito Fleitz Group decided that, to keep the canteen flexible on the ground, the ceiling should be a showstopper.
The word spiegel means looking glass, so its somehow logical, in an Alice in Wonderland way, that 4,230 round reflectors hang overhead. But instead of glass,
the shimmering mirror discs are micro-perforated aluminumsatin polished, backed with acoustical material, and dangling jauntily from the black-painted ceiling.
The discs bounce daylight a bit like the surface of water in the nearby harbor does. To continue the nautical metaphor in a smaller room off the main space, a shoal
of illuminated hanging acrylic rods drops through the discs for intimate, glare-free sparkle. Craig Kellogg

Youre left in no doubt that theres red meat on the menu at this

by Studio Minas Kosmidis, occupies 4,000 square feet in a late
1950s former house at the center of Komotini.
Entry is through the basement level, where customers are
greeted by a pair of stainless-steel refrigerated meat lockers.
Hefty tables in the small atrium at the rear are round wooden
chopping blocksa meat cleaver unexpectedly wedged into each
topcircled with stools upholstered in faux cowhide. Some walls
are blonde pine planks or plain white ceramic tile, while others
are painted black or covered in brushed stainless steel. Floors are
large-format granite tiles and ceilings feature exposed beams,
also pine. Contrasting with the monochromatic palette and industrial finishes, chair pads are red and black gingham, and architectural-scale graphics by Yianis Tokalatsidis depict life-size bovine
butchery diagrams. Even the accents are meat-themed: Select
chairs and pendant fixtures are finished in blood-red enamel.
In a separate structure behind the house, the feeling switches
to farmhouse. Reached by a short stairway or ramp, the entrance
to the 3,000-square-foot Farma Kreaton is surrounded by welcoming hay bales and a pair of digitally fabricated oversize cows.

the six-level complex to become, ironically enough, a tribute to that very era. The entrance of the 17,000-square-foot ground floor is flanked by
art-display niches, one of which occasionally multitasks as a coat check. Backlit circular cutouts in the wall cast a constellation across the ceiling
of the two-story lobby, the planetarium vibe mirrored by black marble flooring. Rich wainscoting, which actually begins on the exterior, becomes
a material thread, winding past concession counters covered in Venetian mosaic tiles and into the main concert hall. Fiberglass latticework
fitted with acoustical panels towers on either side of the auditorium, an artful solution to the challenge of sound management. Among the
functional updates: improved lighting, expanded and modernized dressing rooms, and increased accessibility for the disabled.

ESPACIO FUNDACIN TELEFNICA, MADRID
Arriving at the Espacio Fundacin Telefnica gallery, you could be forgiven
for thinking that the Cor-Ten steel-covered tentacles winding around and
through its elegantly helical staircase are a temporary installation. Quite the
contrary. The biomorphic forms are load-bearing. They brace a four-level
section of facade that Moneo Brock Studio and Quanto Arquitectura cut free
from the rest of the landmark Telefnica headquarters, creating an ample
stair atrium to welcome visitorsmany of whom might be surprised to learn
that the sculptural staircase doubles as a fire exit.
The Cor-Ten bracing can be closely examined through the stairs glass balustrades, their bolts echoing the rivets on the 1929 buildings columns.
Stainless steel gleams. Oak trim contrasts with painted-steel mesh ceiling
panels and polished concrete floors. All were chosen to recede in the presence of the artwork: paintings by Joan Mir and Eduardo Chillida alongside
cubist works, adventure photography, and installations. In addition to exhibitions, visitors find a caf, childrens workshops, education areas, and an amphitheater-style auditorium. C.C. Sullivan

LIBRARY
The flowing three-story building that is the West Hollywood Library is already a Los Angeles
landmark. Because of the need to incorporate the City Council and a municipal garage, the
47,500-square-foot LEED Goldcertified building was Johnson Favaros most complicated library-related project yet. The council chamber and conference room are on the ground level.
Levels two and three belong to the library proper. Two tennis courts occupy the roof, and
theres parking for 424 cars above and below ground.
Calacatta gold marble paving the entry introduces the pale interior palette, where the remaining flooring is blond maple. White walls, a single skylight, and commissioned artwork
including David Wisemans steel, bronze, porcelain, and plaster sycamore in the stairwell
create a gallery vibe. Although unquestionably rooted in the present, aspects of the library recall the past. The childrens theater, for instance, is housed in a plywood crate, but its interior
looks like an Italian Renaissance architectural fantasy with a staircase alluding to Michelangelos Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence.
To bring sophistication to the reading zones, Steve Johnson and Jim Favaro called in Carol
Cambianica for her expertise in library interiors. She went for simple, neutral pieces that
wouldnt compete with the architectural elements. Edie Cohen

LAKEWOOD CEMETERYS GARDEN MAUSOLEUM

When youre building the place where many will take their final rest,
sensory comforts are important. But HGA Architects and Engineers had a
further obligation when conceiving the 141-year-old Lakewood Cemeterys
Garden Mausoleum and Reception Center: how to add the new facility
without disturbing the Minneapolis complexs long-established integrity.
Aiming to commune directly with the cemeterys past, the firm tucked
most of the 24,500-square-foot structure below a hillside, its green roof a
seamless extension of the adjacent 4 acres of landscaping. Bronze doors
open to the foyer and reception areas, a calming union of mahogany walls
and marble flooring bathed in daylight from floor-to-ceiling windows. Downstairs, a sweeping Venetian-plaster wall leads to the 45-seat chapel, its angled
bronze-framed windows set into deep tiled recesses. In the most sensitive
area, the crypts and columbariums, burial bays branch out from a central
hallway with inset flooring of luminous green, honey, and pink onyx lit by
windows and skylights that naturally dispel gloom while maintaining quiet
dignity. Mark McMenamin

Gensler had been at the same Los Angeles address for two decades. And the office resembled, to put it kindly, a generic law firma tired one at
that. With the lease ending, the firm opted to move from Santa Monica to downtown, where a 1972 former bank building not only offered a muchneeded 45,000 square feet but also a plaza in back featuring a distinctive fountain-sculpture by Herbert Bayer.
Lead by principal and managing director Robert Jernigan, design director Richard Hammond, and senior designer Sabu Song, chief interventions
entailed cutting a massive hole in the roof, inserting an operable skylight to cap the central atrium, and, around it, hanging a mezzanine. Meeting
rooms stack and cantilever around the atrium, too; one of them, enclosed in glass laminated Gensler red, brightens the office-scape. Others are

Joey Shimoda knows workplaceswhether tight and polished or expansive and raw.
This space, more than 50,000 square feet in a Los Angeles former warehouse, falls
into the latter category. Its an example of the new young office paradigm: an open
nonhierarchical configuration with an industrial aesthetic. Its modesty reflects the
environmentally sensitive culture of the client, a philanthropically oriented company
with a staff of 400.
Rough as this space may be, its luxuriously light and spacious compared to the
companys previous quarters, which were seven times smaller. Here, Shimoda Design
Group opened up blacked-out windows, inserted 21 round skylights, and exploded
the volume by, the architect says, blowing holes in the second floor for a mezzanine,
which is now connected to the ground floor by a pair of giant royal-blue slides. He also
created an exercise studio, 22 conference rooms, an all-purpose gathering space, and

With potted ferns and grow lights intact, the cafeteria at

been touched since 1983. I knew Joey Shimoda would be
perfect to help us transform our research and ideas into a
physical space, says in-house design manager Cherie Johnson of the founder of Shimoda Design Group, the firm hired
for the task. An experimental hybrid, the 20,000-squarefoot multitasking Work Caf is a cafeteria with an office program. At the bottom of a walnut staircaseoverhung by an
80-foot-long, LED-illuminated, molded fiberglass canopya
concierge desk directs staffers to one of five meeting rooms,
private phone booths, or quiet rooms. Screens in the welcome area under the stairs show event schedules. In the expansive lounge, Steelcase is represented by a plethora of
seating and tables rendered as Shimodas palette of postures. Stand, sit, perch. When staffers started bringing their
families for lunch, both client and designer deemed the experiment a success. A space used to impress clients and
bond with colleagues has also become the star attraction on

Modernism comes to Main Street in the guise of a new outpost for Kirkpatrick Oil Co. Given the location, 70 miles north of
Oklahoma City, it would be correct to assume that this field office for the 60-year-old family business is the work of the prolific Oklahoma firm, Elliott + Associates Architects.
When a fire devastated three of the towns circa 1910 buildings, the firm got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to positively
impact the community with a 9,400-square-foot two-story
structure that looked to the future while respecting historical
context. EAA took cues from the masonry of the neighboring
buildings: The stark-white facade is divided into three sections,
the second story of each one featuring aluminum-and-steel sunscreens whose fins are aligned with the adjacent brickwork.
Inside, daylight abounds. A glass roof caps the double-loaded
main corridor. Transoms are above office doorways. A 17foot-tall glass-grid storefront illuminates the lobby, outfitted
with Le Corbusier chairs and an Isamu Noguchi table. And the
whole west side of the building opens onto a trellised courtyard,
where stands a 9-foot-tall painted-steel sculpture by Nigel Hall.

who would occupy what became the companys 250,000square-foot headquarters.
Drama comes from the restored six-story atrium, capped by
glass panels framed in steel. Below, structural columns take the
form of vertical gardens, wrapped by plants that are watered hydroponically. When the atrium is not set up for gatherings, greenery, planted hedgelike in resin containers, separates seating
groups of C-shape booths, tables, and stools in a pastel palette.
On the seven office floors, the design teams mended original
ornate architectural details but gutted the cluttered layouts in
favor of open plans punctuated with the occasional glass partition. Each level now centers on a contemporary lounge featuring
a long plastic-laminate element that starts as a bar-height counter and morphs into a banquette. Craig Kellogg

EL DORADO
TROOST AVENUE BRIDGE, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
For a time, Troost Avenue enjoyed almost fairytale

prosperity. None other than Walt Disney oversaw animation just off the Kansas City thoroughfare at the
Laugh-O-Gram Studio. Through the last half of the 20th
century, however, the roadway descended into povertyhaving become known as the line between the
citys black and white communities.
After pushing for a decade, a local team succeeded recently in replacing the Troost Avenue Bridge over Brush
Creek. Designed by El Dorado, the new structure reduces barriers so that it is experienced as an enriching,
poetic phenomenon. In other words, the bridge itself
serves as a metaphor for diversity and optimism. Encouraging community interaction, two wide concrete walking paths span the crossing. Replacing traditional
guardrails at the overpass edges are innovative 10-feet-tall balustrades made of
crystal-clear laminated-glass plates discretely bolted to stainless-steel mounts. At
night, LEDs concealed in the concrete barrier illuminate the panels. Craig Kellogg

SAYIGH DUMAN ARCHITECTS

New York
When Sayigh Duman Architects principal Koray Duman first saw
the 750-square-foot corner apartment on the top floor of a six-story
Chinatown walkup, it had been carved up in a slapdash 1980s renovation. Gypsum-board walls on steel studs gobbled up the limited space,
to say nothing of the 2-foot dropped ceiling. The plan he sketched with
the firms other principal, Laith Sayigh, called for a clean slate, but in the
chaos of construction, Duman took care to preserve a bit of history in
the form of scraps of ancient kitchen wallpaper still clinging to original
plaster. Most of the other walls are exposed brick finished with a sheer
white-pigmented sealer; the ceiling, now dropped only 6 inches, incorporates indirect lighting and surround-sound speakers. Collaboration with
Carol Egan Interiors resulted in a pair of custom sofas sitting on egg-crate
bases that were built from digitally milled plywood fins. A sculptural chartreuse feature wallwhich cunningly conceals ample storage spacecreates
a dropped ceiling at the entrance, hugs the north wall, and extends through
both the living and bedroom spaces. Custom kitchen cabinetry is simply
painted MDF, but Duman splurged a little on the powder room, which is

AC MARTIN PARTNERS
LOS ANGELES
David Martin, third-generation principal of AC Martin Partners, finished the main house of his Los Angeles estate in 2001. But, architecture being a profession of delayed gratification, it wasnt until this April
that he completed his lap pool and pool house, even though they were
included in the overall scheme from day one.
Inspiration came from Peter Zumthors Hotel Therme Valsand from
Martins wife, an All American triathlete who required the 25-yard pool,
which is supported by 20-foot-deep caissons since the site is at the
edge of a steep hill. For the pool house, a single-story, 400-square-foot
linear structure that doubles as a design studio, Martin had to work
around mature palm and eucalyptus trees. Layering and precision are
achieved through such honest, strong materials as poured concrete,
glass, and zinc.
The etched-glass panels enclosing the shower cube float in a support
system of steel blades and spacers. Clear glass forms the roof, limestone slabs, the floor. Those slabs spill over to the studios interior,
which reveals the couples penchant for mid-century designers and
contemporary artists, including Andre Putman and Roy Lichtenstein.

Situated in an exclusive shopping mall, the first real-world location for Mistral Importadora, an online wine and champagne

Studio Arthur Casass design concept works overtime to justify
the extra effort a visit to the 1,200-square-foot shop involves.
The layout aspires to take customers on a journey that stimulates and satisfies their curiosity with easily absorbed information. Wine bottles, their labels clearly visible and categorized
by viniculture region, cantilever from snug holes CNC-cut into
wall panels of frosted glass, backlit by cold-cathode tubes.
Above the displays, oak slats rise to the ceiling cove, where
LEDs casts a soft glow.
The materials palette is restrained but warm, with polished
concrete, oak planks, and plaster used on the floor, ceiling, and
walls. The digital world, however, is not short-changed: Customers can take any a bottle of wine and slide it like a computer
mouse across the top of a custom interactive table to retrieve

JOE FRESH, NEW YORK
Joe Fresh, the affordably priced Canadian fashion label, debuted six years ago in a shop-in-shop at a Loblaws supermarket. Now theres a flagship in a New
York icon: a Manufacturers Trust Company bank designed in 1954 by a young Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The main challenge for Burdifilek was that both the exterior and the interior were landmarked, meaning the floors, walls, and ceilings couldnt be touched.
Commercial viability and artistic sensitivity at the 17,800-square-foot bi-level site were the key issues in a debate now resolved by preservationists, the
Vornado Realty Trust, and JPMorgan Chase & Co., the bank that eventually absorbed the assets of Manufacturers Trust Companyallowing Burdifilek to proceed with a plan reestablishing original details and surgically inserting merchandising elements. The latter would have to defer to the interiors star attractions: a massive steel-and-brass screen and mobile commissioned from Harry Bertoia for the mezzanine, now the main sales floor.
In lieu of solid walls, freestanding modular wardrobes, configured in C or L shapes, define roomlike vignettes. Each white box is 10 feet high by 4 wide,

Mountains are the main theme of this 17,200-square-foot space promoting land sales in
the surrounding Chongqing District, which is particularly hilly. One Plus Partnership translates the conceit with various geological features rendered in shades of gray, using a tessellated series of triangular wooden planes and attendant oblique lines. To underscore the
running landscape metaphor, richly patterned marble paving, with a patchwork of thickand-thin gray stripes, plays its tectonic part as a valley floor. A number of earthbound focal
points that evoke monstrous rocks are actually irregular brown stainless-steel counters
dropped at intervals into the layout. In the spot where access to another level was needed,
a stairwell gives the impression of a cave beneath a cliff. Its tunnellike interior is illuminated with a narrow strip of light slashed through the stone strips cladding the canted

AND RESEARCH OFFICE
DESIGN COLLECTIVE, SHANGHAI
Architects Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu renovated an existing building

in suburban Shanghai to create Design Collective, a 77,800-square-foot
hub of international furniture showroomsincluding one for their own
furniture brand, Design Republic. Outside, an opaque carbon-fiber wrapper not only obscures the old facade behind a swirling mural of whitesilhouette clip-art, but also sets the tone for the structures new design
identity. Customers enter the angular exterior through a large steel funnel
that heightens the experience of arrival in the soaring white-painted exhibition hall. A wooden staircase zigzags its way up the three-story space,
which is topped with seven large skylights. Ascent offers changing perspectives on the irregularly shaped volume as well as access to the various showrooms. Design Republics space, 21,500 square feet located on
the ground floor, is filled with pieces sourced from both local and foreign
talents and manufacturers alike. Craig Kellogg

SMALLSHOWROOM

Father and son, William Lim of CL3 Architects and Kevin Lim of OpenUU, respectively, team up again for another industrial conversion in Hong Kong. The first
phase of designing Osage Open is complete: creating flexible indoor/outdoor showroom and gallery spaces in Kwun Tong, a busy neighborhood. Tearing down
walls in the former warehouse resulted in 4,500 square feet of flexible loftlike openness, suitable for art exhibitions, design fairs, and press conferences. Characterized by concrete flooring and white walls, the volume includes a theatrical gesture in the form of a pair of floor-to-ceiling pivoting glass doors. These offer visual
and physical access to a previously underutilized terrace, which has subsequently become display space for large-scale sculpture. But they also add a sense of ceremony to the everyday act of crossing a threshold, thanks to a large, boxlike framematte-lacquered oak on the interior and sealed oak on the exteriorthat surrounds them.

Michael Vanderbyl is thoroughly Californian. Born in Oakland, he was drawn to art and design for as long as he can remember.
Public-school classes led him to the California College of the Arts, where he earned a bachelors in graphic design and is now,
and for the past 26 years, the dean of design. My high-school guidance counselor said I wasnt smart enough to be an architect, he recalls.
Or perhaps she meant Vanderbyl was too smart to be just one thing. He is the epitome of multidisciplinary: A designer and an
ipso facto business consultant who is uent in nearly all mediums. Graphic, interior, product, textile, and Web design as well as
ad campaignshe does them all under the auspices of Vanderbyl Design, the San Francisco studio he established in 1973. His
clients are long-term and diverse: Teknion, McGuire Furniture, Janus et Cie, HBF, Bernhardt Furniture Company, and Luna Textiles are among those in the interiors world. Hes also done showrooms for Esprit, catalogs for menswear label Robert Talbot,
and graphics for an Americas Cup sailboat. His countless accolades include the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Pacic

Design Center; the AIGA Medal, the American Institute of Graphic Arts highest honor; and jury chairman for the 1992 National
Endowment for the Arts Presidential Design Awards.
Design permeates everything. Design must be about truth. Design is not a career, its a lifestyle. These are among Vanderbyls interchangeable mantras. Hes formulated them from the admiration of his own design heroes, who include members of the
Bauhaus, Charles and Ray Eames, and Lella and Massimo Vignelli, the latter couple sponsoring his membership to the prestigious
Alliance Graphique Internationale.
A conversation about current-day inuences leads to hosannas for Apple and the late Steve Jobs: The best things to ever
happen to the design world, Vanderbyl says. Which brings up
branding. A term thats overused and misused, he attests. Although that word and corporate identity have been around forever, I hate them. But clients understand them. With Vanderbyls
guidance, clients discover their core, what makes their company
unique. They usually know the answer, its just not front of mind.
I help bring it forward.
Vanderbyl does so by designing products and advertisements that
make a company competitive, global showrooms that are an oasis of
understatement in deference to the merchandise, and messagereinforcing exhibits, such as the Teknion booth for the 2009 IIDEX
trade show that addressed sustainability without showing a stick of

furniture. Another Teknion project he conceived was Design Does Matter, a collection of essays by different authors
elaborating on what it takes to create an authentic brand.
Does Vanderbyl think in 2- or 3-D? Both: I have attention decit, he laughs. If Im working on a poster and I
get stuck, Ill switch to furniture. Then Ill go back. Each
discipline informs the other. A curve detail on a sofas
arm, for instance, may come from a typeface, while layering, a graphics tenet, also informs showroom and retail
spaces. He sees graphic design, the single discipline from
which he branches out to multi, as ephemeral. Unlike
its counterparts, he says, it moves, changes, and is a reection of the times. Recent projects in that genre include labels and packaging for such
boutique Napa Valley wineries as Checkerboard, Robert Pecota, and Barbour. All three are located near the small Craftsman he designed and shares
with his wife, Luna Textiles founder Anna Hernandez. The city-country commute is a joy for Vanderbyl, a confessed car guy who has a small collection of luxury autos. Most days he takes his Ferrarithe California model, of course.

Champalimaud
Alexandra
Champalimaud will
never forget the
day she touched
down in Montreal.
It was January 5
lets not bother
with the year, but
say the sound track was disco. The city proved unwelcomingly foreign and freezing to the young refugee who, due to political unrest, had pulled up roots from her native Portugal at 2:00 in the
morning with her 1-year-old son in tow.
The designer didnt know a soul in her new hometown and,
despite uency in both English and French, professional success
was at rst elusive. I dont mean to make it sound weepy, but my
life was a lot of work and not that much fun, she says of the
time. But I am a survivor. So, in survival mode, she cracked
open the Canadian phone book, made some cold calls, and joined
a rm decorating houses for the local rich and famous. That job
led to a solo commission for prime minister Pierre Trudeau. I am
a pretty lucky person and have had an amazing life, she says.
(Indeed. We all know how the story ends.)
Born into an Anglo-Portuguese family, she was raised near Lisbon, in a posh coastal town with a Riviera vibe. Champalimaud
attended Swiss and English boarding schools, studying classical
architecture and interior design at Portugals Fundao Ricardo do
Espirito Santo Silva. She learned the secrets of lighting, proportion,
and detailalong with period styles and how they evolved. Classicism informed residences she designed after founding Alexandra
Champalimaud & Associates in 1994, but her historical study also
deserves credit as a springboard for things not visible on the horizon at the timethings like product design. The evolution of the
chair has signicance when I am designing a contemporary chair,
she says. With that background, Im even more creative because I
have the condence to re away.
Branching into hospitality, Champalimaud remade a rumored
brothel in Montreal as a legitimate, yet amusing hotel. Next, was

I love drawing out the soul of an old building or even layering

Sherry, outdoor fabrics and a hospitality line. Of course, theyre
expressive, she says, but built on wisdom and the knowledge of
what can be a catalyst in peoples lives. Sounds like fodder for
several more chapters of an already charmed life.

Jim Olson and Tom Kundig

In large part due to Jim Olson and Tom Kundig, Seattle has become an outpost of world-class design.
Professional partners since 1996, the two have amassed an enviable portfolio. Their projects span continents, encompass almost every genre, and have been richly lauded; AIAs 2009 Architecture Firm Award is
one among more than 150. Yet over the course of their lifetimes, nothing has inuenced Olson and Kundig
as much as their roots in the Pacic Northwest.
Olsons response to the Seattle connection: Look out the window. A half-block away from the eponymous
studios headquarters stands the building where he started his career at age 23 and launched a private practice two years later. A native of Enumclaw, a tiny town in the shadow of Mount Rainier, approximately an hour
southeast of Seattle, Olson recalls spending his childhood as a solitary thinker. Later, he earned a bachelors
degree in architecture from the University of Washington. I was in too much of a hurry to start working, he
says when asked why he eschewed graduate school.
Raised in Spokane, surrounded by the rugged landscape of the Washington/Idaho border, Kundigs DNA
is steeped in design. That his father is an architect was at rst a deterrent. Kundig was more interested in science, particularly
physics. Right-brain stimuli came from the nutty group of artists who were family friends. I knew Id never be an artist, he
says, but I sure appreciated what they brought to the party as provocateurs and iconoclasts. He eventually succumbed to
architecturethe intersection of rational and poeticearning undergraduate and masters degrees also from the University
of Washington. Ironically, it was his father who approached Olson at a lecture, which ultimately connected the two eventual
partners. Kundig began employment at the then called Olson Sundberg Architects in 1986.
The 100-strong Olson Kundig Architects, formed in 2010 and including Kirsten Murray and Alan Maskin as coprincipals, counts
approximately 75 percent of its work as residential. Each project is spearheaded by one of the four principals. Kundigs houses are
often simple in geometry but always gutsy, usually incorporating massive moving parts. For instance, cabins hes designed in

northern Idaho and Mazama, Washington, have pivoting walls that open
up entirely to the outdoors via a hand crank. Says Olson of Kundig: With
his physics background, Tom makes innovative and smart architecture that
looks to the future.
Olsons residences, on the other hand, are more classical and rened,
betting the art collectors who comprise much of his clientele. One in
Bellevue, Washington, cohesively incorporates an ethereal James Turrell
installation and a hefty steel sculpture by Richard Serra. Kundig on Olson:
In Jims projects, the proportions of the art, furniture, and landscape
combine to almost suspend materiality into a magical realm.
Farther aeld, Olson has residences in Bedford, New York; Lugano, Switzerland; and Mumbai, India, on his boards, while Kundig has dwellings in
Manhattan, Geneva, and Buenos Aires on his. All this work has led to the
rm launching a studio in 2000 devoted specically to interiors. It currently
counts six designers, involved in every project. Those projects, other than
residential, include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation visitor center in
Seattle, JW Marriott Los Cabos hotel in Mexico, and ofces in Asia. At the
opposite end of the scale spectrum is the 2012 debut of the Tom Kundig
Collection of steel hardware.
Recent commissions include a number of cultural institutions as well:
The Whatcom Museums Lightcatcher building in Bellingham was Olson
Kundigs rst ground-up museum, a LEED Silvercertied one at that.
Several others have followed, and the rm is currently adapting a former
Tacoma warehouse into the 45,000-square-foot Foss Waterway Seaport,
set to be the West Coasts largest maritime heritage center when it opens
in 2015. Further proof of their ties to their surroundings, last year the two
principals launched [storefront] Olson Kundig Architects: an experimental
space hosting performances and exhibitions on the ground oor of their
1892 ofce building.

Patrick Jouin
The Houdini of design. Thats how Sanjit Manku refers to Patrick Jouin, his Jouin Manku Studio
cofounder. Just as the legendary escape artist would extricate himself from seemingly impossible
situations, Jouin likes to work within a set of almost improbable parameters. He has this love of
constraints, says Manku. Its almost a game. If you give him 50, its not enough. He wants 75.
That approach has proved hugely successful. Today, the Paris-based Jouin is not only considered to be one of Frances most acclaimed designers, he
is also one of the most versatile. Among his products are the Pasta Pot saucepan for Alessi, the Thalya chair and Optic storage cubes for Kartell, and
the Tarti Nutella spatula for lovers of the famous hazelnut spread. His stellar projects include a house in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; the Paris and
Hong Kong agships of Van Cleef & Arpels; and restaurants for star chef Alain Ducasse. Jouins designs are also omnipresent on the streets of
the French capital, from a bus stop near the Bastille and Vlib rental-bike terminals to public toilets known as Sanisettes. Jouin claims the latter
is the project of which he is most proud. Once you embark upon industrial design, you dream of becoming part of the cityscape, he says.
Jouin was born in 1967, in the western French village of Mauves-sur-Loire. His mother was a nurse, his father a craftsman who made

mechanical parts for various machines. Jouin considered

becoming a cartoonist, a surgeon, or an architect, but
eventually enrolled at the cole Nationale Suprieure de
Cration Industrielle in Paris. Upon graduation, he was
hired by Philippe Starck to work for Thomson Multimedia
and then spent ve years at Starcks own rm. People often
assume that Im his protg, says Jouin, when, in fact, I
stopped working for him 14 years ago. Still, he does recognize a certain debt. It was Starck
who introduced him to furniture design and
taught him just
how essential
curiosity is for
a designer.
Curiosity is
a trait he shares
with Ducasse, with
whom he started
collaborating shortly
after opening his
own eponymous
practice in 1998.
The chefs three-star
Michelin restaurant,
Alain Ducasse au Plaza
Athne, was Jouins very
rst interiors commission. Patrick
possesses a quality that is rare among
creators: He listens attentively, says Ducasse.
This talent plus his obsessive passion for details are
key to the success of our projects, which also include
Jules Verne in Paris and Mix in New York and Las Vegas.

is Canadian-trained architect Manku, who has been his associate since 2006. Together, they oversee Jouin Manku Studio,
which counts a James Bondstyle house in London, a winery in the Bordeaux region, and the renovation of the 12thcentury Abbaye de Fontevraud in Anjou among its current
projects. Jouin also runs a separate company, Patrick Jouin
ID, specializing in industrial design. In the planning stage is
custom furniture for his countrys Ministre de la Dfense,
being designed by Agence Nicolas Michelin & Associs and
due to open in Paris in 2014.
Whatever the task, most of Jouins creations share stylistic similarities. Lines are often sensuous and sheltering. He
strives for purity, imbued with the unexpected. One of my
principal themes, he says, is to create a sense of wonder. He endows objects with tactility, places great emphasis on functionality, and avows a
fascination for avant-garde technology and traditional craftsmanshiphis collaborators
range from rapid-prototyping
technicians and stereo lithographers to Murano glassblowers.
More than anything, his overriding concern is novelty.
Repeating myself is a constant worry, he says. Fortunately for clients and fans,
that constant concern most often translates into our constant delight.

Those familiar with Mestia, Georgia, know it as a remote ski town

of medieval churches and stone towers nestled amid the Caucasus
Mountains. But they may be surprised to learn that its also
becoming a site for cutting-edge design, thanks to J. Mayer
H. Architects. We were asked to develop a small police
station for the growing city, reports principal Juergen Mayer H. The introduction of contemporary
architecture in a historic rural context is a
unique adventure.
The commission was a natural since Mayer
H.s rm had already designed the townships
Queen Tamar Airport and House of Justice and
Civic Centre last year. The new police station
references the many 12th-century defensive
towers that dot the area, and from afar looks
as though its made of the same rustic local
slate. Closer inspection reveals the facade to
be board-formed concrete, cast-in-place in
deference to the local construction culture.
Freeform glass insertions further shift the
ve-story buildings appearance from bygone to futuristic.
The glass is part of the projectsand citys
transparency theme: no repression and nothing
to hide with a new political regime for Mestia,
which was just named a UNESCO World Heritage site. Theres a curiosity to see how architecture works as a catalyst to improve the
country, Mayer H. says. Time will tell.
