Managing Editor Jenna Lippin CITIESPERSONIFIED with Arianna Huffington at the Thrive Global pop-up tour with s a kid growing up in California, I began to make up stories about the Golden State’s Humanscale. three major cities: San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Perhaps it was a way A for me to understand the vast swath of land I was watching out of the car window during one of our frequent trips up and down the 101 and 5; maybe it helped me understand my own familial ties as one of three girls who couldn’t be more different. Whatever the reason, the cities took on personalities of their own: San Francisco, the hardworking brunette who loves craft coffee and all-you-can-drink brunch; Los Angeles dyes her hair, gets insulted when people correctly guess her age, and despite no one being quite sure what she does for a living, is always busy and flushed with cash; San Diego is the free- spirited sister folks seem to forget while focusing on her constantly bickering and perpetually busy sisters (in the end, everyone admits she’s much happier lounging on the beach and spending her free time rock climbing and hiking than LA or SF ever are). That habit of personifying cities never left me. While it’s perhaps unusual, I’ve found in the last few years that it’s helped me to quickly gain my bearings when I am traveling often but in brief spurts. What’s more, it has helped me to better understand sports rivalries, or the personal offense felt by natives when stereotyped, bad mouthed, and belittled by outsiders. It’s ensured I’ve kept myself attune to my surroundings and constantly looking for little hidden gems tourists miss.

While I wish we could highlight more of these places and the products that fill them, the sample in these pages will surely spur the imagination and delight a few natives, whether you are living in Atlanta and watching the new airport Hilton grow (Product in Placement, p. 56); thinking about stopping by Teknion’s Boston showroom (Dressing Room, p. 48); or wondering how CF Stinson is able to combine its dual locales of Kennebunk, Maine, and Rochester Hills, Mich.

013_017_Noteworthy.indd 15 1/20/17 5:38 PM USGBC Releases Top 10 Countries for LEED

.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) recently announced the Top 10 Countries for ULEED, which highlights nations outside of the United States that are making notable strides in sustainable building design, construction, and market transformation. These countries represent the increasing international demand for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green buildings. In the ranking, China moved from second to first on the list as the largest user of LEED with 34.62 million gross square meters (GSM) of certified LEED space. Canada, India, Brazil, and the Republic of Korea rounded out the top five countries on the list, respectively. “By recognizing these leading countries, we are showcasing the exponential growth of LEED in the global marketplace and an international commitment to the creation of a sustainable built environment,” said Mahesh Ramanujam, president and CEO, USGBC. “As we pursue a worldwide effort to mitigate climate change, LEED and the green building industry have created a path forward for market transformation while changing the way we think about how buildings, communities, and cities are planned, constructed, maintained, and operated." Global green building is projected to double every three years, according to a Dodge Data & Analytics World Green Building Trends 2016 SmartMarket Report, to which USGBC was a contributing partner. Conducted in 70 countries, the report found that emerging economies like those in Brazil, China, and India will drive green growth, with development varying from twofold to six times the current green building levels. A rise in consumer demand has also pushed the world's green building market to a trillion-dollar industry, leading to a corresponding increase in the scope and size of the green building materials market, which is expected to reach $234 billion by 2019. LEED is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. The analysis used to develop the list ranks countries in terms of cumulative LEED-certified GSM space as of December 2016. LEED-certified spaces use less energy and water resources; save money for families, businesses, and taxpayers; reduce carbon emissions; and prioritize environmental and human health. Today, there are more than 82,000 commercial projects participating in LEED, totaling more than 1.4 billion GSM of space worldwide. An additional 112,000 residential units have been certified under LEED Homes. An estimated 170,000 GSM of space achieves LEED certification every day in more than 162 countries and Infographic courtesy of USGBC territories worldwide. As buildings currently account for an estimated one third of global emissions, green buildings are one of the most cost-effective solutions to climate change as they generate significant environmental, economic, and social benefits. Last year, USGBC joined 25 other green building councils from around the world to commit to scaling the use of LEED over the next five years to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensure that the building and construction industry contributes to limiting global warming. USGBC is working toward a Net Zero Carbon designation to recognize leaders in the building sector, and to drive reductions in the carbon footprint across the industry as is required for the implementation of the Paris Agreement. All of the countries on this list, except Taiwan, have signed the Agreement.

THEPOWEROF Photograph by Brent Gollnick When it comes to capturing a client’s culture and image, branding is integrated storytelling that can be seen and felt.

n the world of interiors, effective branding isn’t about graphics, colors, or architectural solutions alone. Although each is intrinsic to the process, they are complementary elements that contribute to the larger narrative of a client’s true identity. I It’s a practice that architecture and interior design firm Ted Moudis Associates (TMA) in New York is intimately familiar with and passionate about—so much so that it established an in-house branding group years ago to help “tell the real story” of its clients, according to Jacqueline Barr, IIDA, LEED AP, design principal at TMA. While clients can choose how immersive they want to get with the firm’s branding group (all projects get a “light touch” of branding), Barr said that the most compelling spaces are realized when an integrated approach to branding and design is taken. “The projects you walk into that feel really great, they have the graphics, they’ve got technology, they’ve got, obviously, the look and feel—they’re the ones that you know have been a fully integrated process, from a brand [perspective] and an architectural perspective,” she explained. Barr noted that clients are increasingly beginning to understand what she calls “the power of space,” and the effectiveness that branding brings to the process of design that goes well beyond just pasting an attractive logo on the wall. TMA recently took the branding journey with three such clients—NASCAR, Initiative Media, and real estate brokerage firm Compass—all of which tell a unique story through the integration of branding and design.

n a s c a r TMA recently designed a new Manhattan office space for NASCAR, the organization’s first New York City presence. The design team heavily branded the office through NASCAR photography and artwork, above Every form, object, color, material, as well as through the architecture of the physical space. and light was selected to unify the identity of NASCAR in its office space, which embodies “We did this visioning session,” Barr recalled, “and they were a very strong-minded client who said, ‘We don’t the slick and rapid nature of the sport. ➤ continued on page 24

027_Dauphin_Atelier_1of2.indd 27 1/18/17 12:04 PM By Stanton Eckstut, FAIA | Photography courtesy of Perkins Eastman URBAN INTEGRATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY Perkins Eastman is bringing The Wharf to life, revisiting a failed attempt at revitalizing the Southwest Waterfront in Washington, D.C., 60 years ago.

round the halfway point of the last century, the Southwest quadrant in Washington, D.C., became the subject of the first implementation of federally funded urban renewal in the United States. With an action plan put into place A in 1946, the original effort targeted dwellings and businesses, chiefly occupied and run by African Americans and Jewish immigrants, and aimed to remove them in place of a new mixed-use community on the waterfront. But this first attempt was a colossal failure. To say nothing of the fact that the plan was predicated on displacing large portions of lower-income people within an already underserved community, this effort also failed the District on two key measures: First, it lacked depth of vision, foregoing the density and planning that allows urban neighborhoods to thrive and grow; and second, consequently, it did not attempt to integrate Southwest D.C. (the smallest quadrant in Pierre L’Enfant’s original city plan) with its surrounding blocks, thus remaining a sequestered and underserved parcel of otherwise attractive waterfront property, sitting forgotten and in the shadows of the Washington Mall. Once known colloquially as “the wharf,” on one side is 24 acres of contiguous waterfront land along the Washington Channel, a body of water that temporarily deviates from the Potomac; and inland, the U.S. Capitol and Washington Monument sitting on the not-so-distant horizon. Up until a few years ago, a mere nine businesses and a total of 193,000 square feet of built space occupied this acreage, acting as a literal dead end that offered residents and tourists alike little incentive to approach the water’s edge. The fact that a public asset such as the wharf could remain largely undeveloped and underserved for so long stands in stark contrast to the rate and level of growth that cities like D.C. have staked their reputations on in recent decades. Thankfully, the city and its stakeholders ➤ continued on page 30

are reversing course and embarking on something that is truly exceptional. Today, “the wharf” is being transformed into The Wharf. Divided into two phases, with the first scheduled to open to the public this October, the redeveloped Southwest Waterfront is a large neighborhood envisioned on an intimate urban scale, wherein every square foot of space, from the storefronts and piers to the mews and alleyways, will be fully utilized and with no dead ends in sight. Where the original renewal effort of the 1950s failed, The Wharf will rectify and enhance. Back in 2008, when Perkins Eastman’s work with the developer Hoffman-Madison Waterfront started, density was the common denominator. The team laid forth a vision for an active waterfront community that welcomed all modes of traffic, with pedestrians, bicyclists, and cars all sharing the same surface streets—a slightly modified version of woonerfs, or “living streets”—with all 2,500 parking spaces relegated to below ground to alleviate congestion. But creating this type of permeable street network that can accommodate a dense mix of residential, commercial, and entertainment amenities, not to mention the ebb and flow of daily traffic, requires a bit more than deft street planning. The Wharf will eventually comprise some 3.2 million square feet of built space, including four new public piers and 10 acres of parks and civic space, all interwoven with a series of mews and walkways which enable smaller blocks and multiple entryways to the site. In short, this is placemaking on a grander scale; we are engaged in city-making. Paradoxically, in order to make this work, we took an interior designer’s approach. When one arrives at The Wharf via its inland border along Maine Avenue, no matter the mode of transport, they are entering a navigable web of outdoor rooms, each deriving its unique character from the varied street walls and surrounding buildings. Clear lines of sight, natural light, and areas that are intimate

The Wharf will eventually comprise some 3.2 million square feet of built space, including four new public piers and 10 acres of parks and civic space, all interwoven with a series of mews and walkways which enable smaller blocks and multiple entryways to the site.

but not confining are the characteristic features of these spaces; imagine a series of grand hotel lobbies interconnected by expansive passageways, only they are outside and can function in virtually all weather conditions. This layout accomplishes two things: it creates a self-sustaining and resilient neighborhood, and most importantly, it restores this historic part of the city to its former glory as a true international maritime destination. Prior to the federal government’s doomed urban renewal effort, the Southwest Waterfront was once a vibrant working harbor with its own culture and architectural character, connected to the city’s fabric yet distinct from the federal presence (i.e. Brutalist structures of reinforced concrete). The urban integration that is occurring here is quite definitive. Southwest D.C. has been called the “forgotten quarter,” and for good reason, so our approach to integration comes from extending L’Enfant’s plan right up to and beyond the water’s edge—cross streets become public piers, and a grand avenue along the water is filled with a bevy of year-round activities. This vision is furthered by increased connectivity with neighborhood public schools, the inclu- sion of affordable housing units, and a public realm comprising upwards of 60 percent of the entire site. The Wharf is set to become a national model for both sustainable neighborhoods and waterfront design best practices. But thinking beyond the confines of the neighborhood, thanks to The Wharf, D.C. is on the verge of joining an elite class of global maritime cities. When a city’s unique character and cultural attributes are inexorably linked to its waterfront, it becomes a recipe for not only continued success, but urban evolution.

They’ll be particularly difficult this year, after enjoyable summer weather in the new location directly across from the financial district and Quincy market, with an inviting greenway just outside the windows which was host to yoga classes, corn hole games, and even rotating art installations. That sense of community definitely made its way over to the Michael Vanderbyl-designed showroom, with gathering spaces scattered about, ranging from intimate to the more the merrier. “It kind of pulls you in,” DesJardins said. Furthermore, staff can stand directly in the middle of the space with a view of every single workstation and the ability to talk to peers. Customers can decide what they want to gravitate toward. Here, i+s offers a look at all of these little nooks and crannies that make Teknion’s new space exceptional. From not just intricate but also functional details, to bright and aesthetically appealing pieces that help make meaningful connections, the company’s Boston home certainly displays all that is true of Teknion.

Huntington Hotel Group tapped two design firms—Distinctive Hospitality Designs for the public spaces, and MatchLine Design GroupA for the hotel’s 220 guest rooms—to handle the 151,000-square-foot overhaul. Having been brought in after the onset of the project, the members of the design team at MatchLine had their work cut out for them. With Distinctive Design Group’s inspiration boards for the public spaces in hand prior to any installations taking place, MatchLine set out to create a cohesive design statement for the guest rooms that blended with the rest of the property. l i g h t i n g “The other firm had already set the stage a little bit in the public areas, and then ASHLEY LIGHTING ashleylighting.com we were brought on to do the guest rooms and the guest corridors,” explained Lesley Hughes Wyman, principal and owner of MatchLine. “We made sure that our CHALLENGER LIGHTING challengerlighting.com design was still connected so it didn’t look disjointed.” Drawing inspiration from the hotel’s surroundings, both Wyman and co-owner HALLMARK LIGHTING hallmarkcollective.com and principal Tamara Ainsworth incorporated artwork from local artisans and infused guestroom floor corridors and private rooms with imagery reminiscent of t e x t i l e s magnolias, the Fox Theater, and the city skyline. SK TEXTILES “We wanted to bring a little locality to it, especially with it being right there at the sktextile.com airport,” Wyman said. “There’s a lot of artists and art communities in Atlanta, so we tied that into the corridor portion, and then as you get into the rooms, we used the locality in the artwork with some actual abstract photography of the area.” Corridor carpeting was selected from a collection designed by Farmboy Fine Arts in collaboration with Shaw. Guestroom bathrooms appear white and bright with quartz countertops and large electric mirrors. Bedroom areas offer guests comfortable slate gray sofas with blue piping adding a pop of color and intrigue while creating a clean, tailored aesthetic. Anticipating a wide variety of travelers, MatchLine specified products, furnishings, and finishes that were at once durable, yet warm and inviting to ensure that guests of the hotel could relax in style and comfort—even if just passing through.

Designed in Arcsine delivers an authentic Oaxacan experience partnership between local architecture and design firm Arcsine and Chef Octavio Diaz, the 4,000-square- to Oakland with the opening of Agave Uptown. foot oasis is filled with thoughtful design references that bring the culture, history, and diverse energy of Oaxaca, Mexico to Oakland. Housed on the ground floor of the Kapor Center for Social Impact, Agave Uptown promises to become an integral part of the Oakland dining scene while joining with the Kapor Center in its mission to narrow gaps in opportunity and access for underrepresented communities, according to Arcsine. Upon entering, guests are welcomed by a sophisticated yet approachable color palette of cool blues punctuated by earthy reds, yellows, and oranges. A handsome teak floor sets the foundation for wood, copper, porcelain, and brown-braided leather details that add warmth and depth to the space. The main dining area is defined by a curved wall separating the restaurant from the Kapor Center. Lapiztola, an Oaxaca-based art collective, worked with the design team to create a compelling mural that speaks to Agave Uptown’s dedication to authentic cuisine, the creation of mescal, social empowerment, and community. i+s recently had a chance to speak with the design team at Arcsine, including Daniel Scovill, founding principal; Irene Yu, architectural designer; and Britney Gildea, interior designer, about what influenced the creation of this inspiring new eatery.

i+s: What were the objectives for the project, and what role did artwork play in helping to create a cohesive narrative? DANIEL SCOVILL: As it began, it was supposed to be just a small cafe. The other parts of the ground were going to be event space, retail space, and other [areas]. Fairly quickly, the charts changed to being a full-service bar and restaurant, and a private dining room kind of facility—a place that has all of that under one roof. The program changed pretty drastically right off the bat. The sense of the agave plant, the process of creating mescal, washed with the tastes and smells and sounds of Oaxaca, and specifically, the mole [sauce]—those three things jumped out right from the beginning, and became our guiding light for the rest of the project. IRENE YU: Octavio [Diaz], who’s the chef of the restaurant, wanted to bring an authentic Oaxacan experience to Oakland, and that’s really what drove the space, as well as the artwork.

i+s: Why was a large-scale mural chosen as a medium for artwork? What was the design intent? DS: From a couple points of view—first and foremost— we had this kind of circular, atrium space, in the Kapor Center. The edge of that circular [form] is one of the demising walls between the lobby space of the Kapor Center and our space.

IY: It was Octavio wanting to honor his family and this spirit of community, and the grassroots nature of this entire project, that really drove the design for the actual mural. The mural itself is heavily influenced by an Oaxacan festival called the Guelaguetza, which honors the dead. In one of the images, there’s a girl who is holding a basket of marigolds and that’s definitely one of the iconic things that they do during that festival. Additionally, one of the figures is Octavio’s grandfather. He sent an actual picture. It was very important for him to be able to have an image of his family on the wall, to remind him why he was doing this, and the inspiration behind wanting to bring this sense of family to Oakland.

i+s: What about the color palette? How was that chosen and how does it connect with the overall aesthetic of the restaurant? BRITNEY GILDEA: A lot of the creative direction for this project came from Oaxacan textiles. We looked mostly at fashion and rugs for inspiration for colors and patterns for the project. We kept it more on a traditional palate of deeper hues—a little bit deeper red, deeper blue, and then played on that with the tone. We didn’t go to a futuristic, contemporary [palette]—it’s definitely more refreshed than a dated, traditional palette.

THEFUTURE OFHEALTHCARE DESIGN ho is packing a wallop to improve healthcare design? There are many organizations—non-profits, trade associations, and standards-writing entities—that have been working W on updates that will improve healthcare design solutions. The goal is to impact health and wellness for residents, patients, staff, and families, influencing design decisions for improved outcomes. Photograph courtesy of NIBS above Design Guidelines for the Visual Environment a g i n g e y e s a n d l i g h t i n g available on the National One exciting development that has been under way for several years is the Institute of Building long-awaited update to the Illuminating Engineers Society (IES) Standard: Sciences (NIBS) website.

The updated table that types of lighting, and includes foot-candle recommendations for designers to utilize will also be reduction of glare. referenced in the proposed 2018 “Guidelines for Design and Construction of Residential Health, Care, and Support Facilities,” published by the Facility Guidelines Institute. Often, healthcare designers do not realize that utilizing and referencing these requirements will not only improve long-term care settings, but other healthcare spaces as well.

a c o u s t i c s a n d o u t c o m e s Because hospital acoustic guidelines are not necessarily applicable to long-term care settings, a task force has been established by The Mayer-Rothschild Foundation in cooperation with the Facility Guidelines Institute to evaluate specific recommendations for these spaces. This task force is led by David Sykes of Remington Partners, Inc. and Kurt Rockstroh of Steffian Bradley Architects. Mandy Kachur from Soundscape Engineering, LLC has participated in the research and acts as the liaison between the work of the task force and the Health Guidelines Revision Committee (HGRC) of the Facility Guidelines Institute. The proposals for “Guidelines” submitted by Kachur were based upon initial findings of their research at Brooksby Village, an Erickson Retirement Community located outside of Boston. The groundbreaking work that is being completed will impact not only the 2018 cycle of the Residential Guidelines, but also the 2022 cycle.

sustainable p r o d u c t certifications For sustainable materials, the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) is actively looking at alternative compliance paths for both pilot and standing credits within LEED v4. This is exciting news, as it demonstrates that all of the work completed by manufacturers on the NSF Sustainability Assessment Standards for certification of interior products and materials are being considered as part of the compliance to LEED v4 credits. As examples, this would include NSF/ANSI Sustainability Assessments for resilient flooring (NSF/ANSI 332), carpet (NSF/ANSI 140), and wallcovering (NSF/ANSI 342).
