The City of Hope, a leading research and treatment center for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases, marked its centennial with the addition of a new, multi-faceted space at the heart of its Duarte, California campus. In addition to creating 7,000sqft for lectures, exhibits, events, and administrative offices, the LEED Platinum Centennial Pavilion engages the landscape to form an outdoor sanctuary.
The Jackson Dinsdale Art Center (JDAC) serves Hasting College as an iconic piece of the campus’ master plan as well as a functioning gallery space for the larger fabric of the surrounding community. The center includes comprehensive studios for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional work ranging from painting, print making, and drawing to metal fabrication, glass blowing and ceramics.
In collaboration with youth and community advisors, EPACENTER ARTS – a youth art, design and music center slated to open in the heart of East Palo Alto, CA in 2020 – announced, with wHY, an ideas-driven and socially progressive firm regarded for designing spaces for the arts, that the construction of the new EPACENTER ARTS began late September 2018. A celebration marking the groundbreaking will take place with a community stakeholder event on Saturday, October 13, 2018.
The realization of EPACENTER is a result of an intensive, community-driven planning process that began in 2009 to address the need for high-quality, professional art services for children and young adults in a diverse area that’s positioned among wealthy Peninsula cities, yet hasn’t equally benefitted from the region’s booming tech economy.
This home we named the Artery residence. The couple has been repeatedly named by ARTnews in the top 200 contemporary art collectors globally. The focus of this home is the art collection and how it flows and is pumped throughout the home, by way of a main ‘artery’.
La Grange Pavilion was created as part of a landscape intervention for a house perched on a bluff overlooking the forest and farmland of Colorado River basin seventy miles east of Austin. Surrounding views offer a quintessential display of central Texas wildlife and landscape: songbirds chirping in gnarled oaks on the bluff, hawks and buzzards spiraling on warm updrafts, morning mists in the valley below dissolving in the heat of the day, and ending with the long shadows of a low sun or the dramatic colors of an overcast sunset. The homeowners envisioned an outdoor patio area that would enable them to enjoy this incredible landscape throughout the year.
Farmers Park is a mixed-use development for active, healthy, and engaged families and businesses in the Ozarks region. It is anchored by the Farmers Market of the Ozarks, a venue for organic and locally grown food that attracts over 5,000 visitors a week. Ground-level amenities include restaurants, shopping, community gardens and a micro-orchard. An office component was designed to achieve LEED Silver Certification and serve as a template for sustainability in the region. The strategy of Farmers Park is simple: encourage pedestrian activity and community interaction. The activity at the street level makes the development safe, vibrant, and economically viable.
Located in a dense hilly forest on a narrow peninsula of land, the Bioprocess Innovation Center responds to the rich topography as it weaves together building and landscape. The existing landforms are preserved and reinforced through terraced parking with a public path that steps down the hillside. The design organizes along the path and is comprised of a series of sliding tubes that float above the forest floor as they frame views into the landscape and connect the occupants with nature. The design fosters collaboration as the path transitions into a collaborative walkway inside with multiple types of gathering spaces.
To serve a rapidly growing area of the city, the Raleigh Parks and Recreation department partnered with Clark Nexsen design the new, health-focused Abbotts Creek Community Center. The healthy living themed facility houses a high bay gymnasium space with sup-porting classrooms, fitness spaces, and staff space. Complimentary outdoor athletic and fitness spaces are also included.

Eventscape was contracted to engineer, fabricate and install the interior and exterior curved vertical fin elements for the renovation of a ten story building that houses a number of high profile companies. Reflecting the building’s proximity to the ocean at Stamford Harbor are the 60 wave-like acrylic ceiling fins with LED edge lights inside the lobby. The wave pattern, also repeated on the exterior, makes a dramatic impact upon arrival. Situated on either side of the main entrance are thirty-four, 20-foot tall steel fins with integrated lighting, which create a sinuous wave of light.
The concept for the Barrington Residence, a single family home designed by Eric Rosen Architects completed in April of 2015, was derived from the site and context, the client’s desire for an indoor/outdoor living experience afforded by the southern California climate and inspiration from noted artist Gordon Matta-Clark’s Splitting.
