“Ultramodern” is not a word that would typically describean industrial facility that handles and processes solidwaste. However, in the case of Athens Services’ new Sun

Valley facility, this is a fitting way to describe it. The 80,000 squarefoot, state-of-the-art, sustainable facility is anything but your typicalsolid waste processing facility. The project was designed with inputfrom the local community and provides a model for future develop-ments in the area. It’s also the first structure of its kind to be built inthe region in many years. Each traffic circulation path was plannedon opposite ends of the site to limit crossover paths, providing alarge turning radius for the larger trucks, and increasing site safety,while maximizing operational efficiencies. In order to achieve amodern feel, the framing of the exterior incorporated architecturalmetal panels and a polycarbonate panel skin that increases naturaldaylight. The combination of the two, in varying hues of grey,enhanced the overall building aesthetic.

The plan was to create anew collection of flexiblegroup workstations at

CSUN Oviatt Library, where stu-dents would be able to gatheraround a large computer screenor simply work together in acomfortable atmosphere. Thisincluded refurnishing and rear-ranging the computer and studyareas on the first floor to betterfacilitate group study. It alsoinvolved the creation of glassed-in study rooms and flexible fur-nishings for group use. Therefurbishing project, dubbed the“Learning Commons,” receivedadditional funds, allowing forthe project to remove walls toopen up the space, painting andre-carpeting the area, improvingthe technology infrastructureand designing an overall newlook. Most of the construction,redesign and refurbishing tookplace at night so as not to dis-turb Library Services. The spacehas quickly been embraced bythe students and is fully occu-pied most of the time. The over-all cost of the project wasapproximately $2 million –remarkable considering the dra-matic improvement to usabilityand aesthetics.

Located in The Pointe, a Class A toweropened in 2009, Fremantle Media NorthAmerica was a full TI build-out of the 7th

and 8th floors totaling 63,443 sf. As the headquar-ters of Fremantle Media’s North American divi-sion, the office was designed to house all execu-tives, legal and finance teams, and creative staff.The two floors accommodate private offices, meet-ing rooms and open work areas, as well as videoediting bays, sound recording rooms, screeningrooms and temporary workspaces for the produc-tion staff of ongoing shows. The goal of the proj-ect was to utilize fundamental design strategies tooptimize efficiency and to take advantage of thebuilding’s 10-foot floor-to-ceiling vision glass win-dows. Natural light became key to reducing artifi-cial lighting needs and increasing the energy effi-ciency of the office. This resulted in a collaborativeopen office environment with maximized naturallight infiltration. The reorganization of the tradi-tional office model became the central designstrategy to increase energy efficiency whileimproving the office environment and culture.

This mixed-use project is the first of its kind in a number ofways. The developer set back the retail from the residential,creating distinct identity for the retail portions of the prop-

erty. Significant parking for the retail was also developed. Theresulting property is amid a block piece on Ventura Boulevard butwas able to achieve some of the highest retail and residential rentsin the region. The developer wanted to create a mixed-use envi-ronment where the retail was a genuine amenity to the building.The first retail lease completed was with Mendcino Farms, whichis already far surpassing its expectations and goals. An Islandsrestaurant fits in well, creating a nice synergy. The project wastopped off with a Verizon Store and Berkshire Hathaway residen-tial office. The lighting and finishes are state-of-the-art and theuniquely creative elevator design and flow to the parking area addto the atmosphere. In addition, the high ceilings and well-lit park-ing areas help residents and guests feel comfortable and safe.

This is a face-lift project on the existing twenty feet high buildingserving as a Banquet Hall in the heart of the City of Glendale. Thebuilding needed to be renovated; and the approach was taken to

create a unique shape with light and texture. Therefore, the architectscame up with a specific element in the shape of a wave and random skinwhich would repeat itself by shifting horizontally, creating a dynamicmovement. The constant color change in lighting created a sense ofexcitement and emphasized the dynamic movement.

The design team took anorganic approach to updating the structures byimplementing a contemporary facelift to ensurethe buildings stood out and transcended the tra-ditional idea of a shopping center.
