COMMERCIAL

Located in the southern Minato-ku area of Nagoya City, Bay-City Shinagawa is the largest shopping center in the Chubu region with parking spaces for 3,000 vehicles, 120 stores, and a cinema complex housing 12 theaters. Based on a "Wind" motif, the main essential elements of the design are curves. Each floor enjoys a different shaped "fukinuke" style space, an atrium-like vertical passageway that connects the floors of the structure. Fukinuke literally means to “blow through”, and allows natural light to benefit the occupants on every floor of the shopping center.

Architectural services were provided for the $157M renovation of Memorial City Mall. Notable among Houston's major regional shopping centers, this design-build project transformed it into one of Houston’s premier retail destinations and additional upscale anchor stores and lifestyle retailers such as Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel were added.

This project scope included completion of the master plan for an exciting family-oriented waterfront boardwalk in Kemah, Texas. This dynamic multi-venue project creates a one-third-mile pedestrian entertainment district complete with five existing restaurants, three new restaurants (including an aquarium restaurant), as well as an amusement area with a 60-foot ferris wheel, carousel, and tower slide.

The 4,451 square-foot restaurant interior displays a unique prototype by fusing modern and rustic elements to brand the "ranch to table" dining concept. The interior design supports various restaurant functions: a bar/lounge area, public and private dining, special event rooms and an open chef's kitchen. The interior palette displays natural materials of wood, hemp, and grass. Life-size photos of Akaushi cattle and timber ceiling elements (created from ranch remnants) contribute to the ranch-chic ambiance.

New portrayal to the history and spirit of classic and contemporary rock ‘n roll were added to this project. The 140,000 square-foot building houses the Hard Rock Live concert venue and the world’s largest Hard Rock Cafe. Before entering the building, guests promenade across a unique guitar-shaped staircase entrance, a retro interpretation of the Roman Coliseum. The restaurant accommodates 800 for dining (650 indoors and 150 outdoors) with three themed function rooms contributing to the atmosphere. Design Development was design architect on this project.

Design services were provided for the tropical rainforest conservatory, located on Galveston Island. The simplicity of the glass-skinned pyramid conceals its complex technical design; steel truss framing and the three-quarter inch glass envelope can withstand 120-mile-per-hour winds – significant possibilities in this coastal area. The ten-story structure houses one acre under glass enabling guests to experience the African, American, and Asian rainforest regions.

Complementing the existing pyramids of Moody Gardens, the two-million-gallon Aquarium enhances the complex in architectural form and interior design. A sculptural wave wall invites visitors to the aquarium entrance. The Aquarium experience is composed of geometric forms with honest expressions of circulation, direction, and exhibition. The exterior is composed of blue glass to reinforce the aquatic theme while differentiating the Aquarium from the existing pyramids.

Built on the former site of historic Cypress Gardens, Florida’s first theme park, the team melded the Owner’s vision of the LEGOLAND brand with the valuable assets of the site’s history. The design team scrutinized the viability of existing structures and every tree on the 150‑acre site. Throughout the design, the park’s majestic and historic canopy was protected. Over 80 percent of the existing canopy was preserved in place, and 20 large specimen trees were relocated by crane to strategic locations within the property.

Architecture services and consultant collaboration contribute to this attraction as "the world’s first life-size, ride-through, interactive video game experience." The 80,000-square-foot attraction was inaugurated as one of the highest capacity rides available, capable of handling 2,200 visitors per hour.

This project consisted of rehabilitating the existing over 3,000-SF Presidential Suite, re-theming the lobbies of the three towers that make up the hotel, and re-theming three existing buildings within the central courtyard. All of the existing finishes, furnishings, and fixtures within the Presidential Suite were removed and replaced with new.
