A N T I N O Z Z I A S S O C I A T E S EXPERIENCE

This historic brick building, constructed in 1908 and completed in 1910, was designed as an entertainment venue in a 16th century Italianpalazzo style. At street level was the first specifically designed and functioning Picture Theater in the nation, seating about 250 people,with the upper level designed to embrace a ballroom. As movie theaters grew larger and ballroom dancing became less popular over thedecades, the building became vacant around mid-20th century.

From the very beginning, the design approach for our new office space was to restore the original ballroom’s fin-de-siÀcle style of charm,elegance and simplicity. Fortunately, years of vacancy, lack of use, and a period of undesirable location never made this building or spacea victim of renovation. The original suspended light fixtures, cast-iron balustrade at the balcony, and exposed wood plank roof structurewere still in place and undamaged. The color scheme was based on the original warm, golden painted colors found behind old radiatorsand the amber color of the light fixture lenses.

Cooper Surgical first commissioned Antinozzi Associates in 2001 to relocate their 38,000 SF corporate headquarters from Shelton, CT to 95 CorporateDrive in Trumbull, CT. Over the next few years, the company continued to expand their services, and so did their need for space. In 2007, we wereasked back to assist in relocating their headquarters next door to 75 Corporate Drive, doubling their square footage since the first relocation.

This new facility needed to fit their vision of a state-of-the-art destination that would increase collaboration, unify departments, and attract/retaina talented workforce. Becoming integrated with the rocky and curved site, the solution was a 3-story all-glass curtain wall building using uniquefloor shapes and different sized white bullnose mullions and spandrel panels - ultimately reflecting the surrounding forest and sky. Blue-coloredshadow boxes (from their logo color) add depth and brand the building as 'home' for its employees. Visitors are welcomed by a 2-story front entrancelobby which incorporates a 1½ story stone tile focal wall with LED light strips that change color and messages to both visitors and employees.Maximizing daylight into interior spaces, responding to workstation/office standards (created by our firm in the programming analysis), lighting,color and finishes, exposed ductwork, and sound-absorbing ceiling “clouds” all played critical roles in the design of this building solution. Specialattention was given to the cafeteria and servery, as well as a second floor "Family Room", created to provide another informal gathering place.

Antinozzi Associates was retained by Davis Marcus Partners (then The Davis Companies) in the mid-1990's to perform ‘on-call’ architectural and inte-rior design services for several corporate office building locations throughout the state. Among the major improvements, renovations and corporateinterior fit-out of both new and existing offices completed for Davis Marcus, 15 Old Danbury Road (Wilton) was our first major project where a 90,000SF building structure was renovated down to the structural steel and concrete system and rebuilt with a completely new building storefront and infra-structure. The building also included a level of underground parking completely renovated to meet new code and office requirements.

In 1999, Antinozzi Associates was retained by Davis Marcus for architectural and interior design of a major office building renovation and new 237-car parking garage at Wilton Corporate Park. The existing 210,000 SF office/laboratory building was completely renovated into a Class ‘A’ multi-ten-ant office building including a full-service kitchen/cafeteria, fitness center, conference center, and shared mailroom. The parking garage was con-nected to the building with a pedestrian bridge and featured glass stairways and elevator towers to address tenant safety concerns. 64 DanburyRoad, a second office building on the site of 45,000 SF, was also completely renovated to include a new entry lobby, facade and common areas.

Antinozzi Associates was retained by Davis Marcus Partners in 2007 to add office and parking facilities at their WiltonCorporate Park location in Connecticut. We were asked to provide master planning, architectural and interior designservices to create the design of a 150,000 SF, Class-A, corporate office building. Amenities include a cafeteria andan 111,000 SF parking garage attached by a pedestrian bridge at the rear of the building to suit the occupying ten-ants' needs. The new four-level garage will house 453 cars. The new corporate office building and above groundparking structure was completed in June of 2008.

Most notably, this project is in the process of attaining LEED Gold Certification. This is a significant project due toits projection of attaining one of the highest levels of construction waste management in the country, with nearly98% of the project’s construction debris recycled and diverted from landfill.

Antinozzi Associates was tasked with the design challenge of consolidating the Ryan Partnership from its location in Westport to Wilton, Connecticut.Their existing operation consisted of space in four different buildings and we consolidated their operation into two floors totaling 100,000 squarefeet. We provided complete Architectural and Interior Design services including Programming, Schematic Space Planning, Design Development,Construction Documents and Construction Administration from 2004-2006.

The goal of this marketing firm was to create space that would conform to office space standards already in existence, yet create team spaces whichwould inspire open collaboration and the innovation of new ideas. The owners of the company envisioned a space that would inspire creativity, yetmaintain a sense of professionalism to appeal to their long-term clientele. A large, open atrium space with a connecting stair to the mezzanineserves as a large open forum space for the company’s “Town Meetings”. Design and budget issues were ironed out quickly throughout the process withthe collaboration of the Building Owner and Construction Manager.

Antinozzi Associates was requested by Scinto Enterprises to design a Class "A" state-of-the-art “green” building, maxi-mizing the site based on the town’s Planning and Zoning requirements. This building was not to be designed as the com-pany’s typical glass and precast design, but unique and appealing for major corporate clients.

Antinozzi Associates created this six-story building, totaling 141,000 SF and 566 parking spaces, on this very difficulteight (8) acre site with a severe slope from left to right - as well as front to back. The building's curved curtain wall frontresponds to the street, starting at the second floor, providing a grand two-story overhang for its visitors. This curvedfront is supported by several stainless steel columns that rise from a reflecting pond with fountains. The design gives theimpression of three distinct buildings by associating different heights, materials and use of several strong horizontal andvertical expressions.

Since 1995, Antinozzi Associates has been retained by Unilever, an international consumer products company, to complete architectural and interi-or design services for numerous projects located within the company’s Trumbull, CT location. 40 North Merritt Drive consisted of the implementationof new space standards at Unilever’s new 80,000 square foot research facility and to develop color and finish material selections in order to imple-ment a corporate branding strategy. In tandem, we modified and implemented the space standards for 14,000 square feet of office space atUnilever’s 40 South Merritt Boulevard location. In addition, the firm provided complete architectural and interior design services for the conversionof 63,000 square feet of warehouse space into a multi-use facility. The concept for this facility was ultimately to become the “Town Center” of theUnilever Campus. The project features new labs, a fitness center, daycare, consumer test center and conference center.

As part of Antinozzi’s ongoing services to Unilever we have just completed a major upgrade to Unilever’s food servery area at 75 Merritt Boulevard.This servery complies to a continued effort of implementing the Unilever brand throughout their campus of six (6) buildings.

This building site is bounded by three streets: Lafayette Boulevard, Fairfield Avenue, and Cannon Street, in downtown Bridgeport. It is a prominentlocation created many years ago during an urban renewal project for a high-rise office building. Those plans were never realized and AntinozziAssociates was engaged to develop a series of proposals for a local developer. An 800-car garage owned by this developer was to provide parking forthe proposed structures. In one proposal, the existing garage was joined to the proposed office structure by a bridge and a vividly-colored curvedfaçade reflected the shape in its frontage to Lafayette Circle. Other proposals explored very contemporary reflective surfaces on the upper officefloors and a more street-friendly facade at the pedestrian level. A third design solution was created for a 96-unit high-rise residential building(Golden Hill Condominium) that included retail space at street level on Fairfield Avenue and incorporated a bridge to the parking garage.

The project site ultimately proceeded as a five-story 64-unit apartment building, now known as 323 Fairfield Avenue - The Shops & Residences atBijou Square, with retail on the first floor and is currently under construction.

The Magnus Wahlstrom Library is referred to as the "academic and physical heart of the campus". In 2007, AntinozziAssociates was commissioned to renovate the library to respond to the University's need to create an Information Commonsmodel for the campus. The library remains on the first floor within the existing structure.

The goal and objective was to introduce more desktop computers, create team meeting areas (including Smartboard tech-nology), assign designated areas for laptop use, have self check-out stations for library materials, and walk up email andinternet access stations - all for student use. A circular Research Theatre is included as well.

A café, including lounge areas for relaxing and studying, was designed with acoustical isolation in mind (even though locat-ed within an open environment),and a small art gallery was incorporated to enhance campus life for the students.

Architecturally, the building is designed in a series of layers. The academic wing is the first layer, designed in the same scale andharmony to the surrounding neighborhood. The common wing, directly connected to the academic wing, includes the gymnasium,media center, cafeteria, and student service center.

Additionally, the new elementary school is designed to accommodate extensive community use after school hours. Security of thebuilding is maintained through strategically-located doors. For instance, the Gymnasium can be used without permitting accesselsewhere in the school by closing the doors to the main corridor of the academic wing.

Initially, we worked with Viridian Energy & Environmental to create a sustainably designed, LEED-Certified facility. Althoughdecided early in the design phase by the client that the school would not be LEED-Certified, the school was designed to implementenergy-efficient systems throughout.

The Aviation Technician School, recently located at H.H. Ellis in Danielson, CT, moved into a larger, state-of-the-art facility at Brainard Airport. Thislocation was selected due to its central location in the state which not only minimizes commute time but, more importantly, provides a much-need-ed career path opportunity for inner-city youth and students.

This facility, renamed the Connecticut AeroTech School, houses an FAA-certified training program that prepares students for the rigorous FAA stan-dards of airframe and power plant mechanics. The new building includes a 100' clear span, 14,000 SF aircraft hanger capable of containing transportcategory aircraft, which vastly increases the training capacity of the school program. The facility has become an FAA-certified repair station for bothgeneral and corporate aircraft. The building houses three classrooms, administration and support spaces, and 8,000 SF of shop and engine assem-bly areas. The facility also includes two engine test cells that allow the students to safely run and test the reciprocating and turbine engines theyhave assembled as part of their education.

Oxford High School was designed to immediately house 750 students with expansion to 800 students. The $44M budget included a natatorium andcore facilities for future expansion. The project was approved by a significant margin in a Town-wide referendum in 2004 after three failed referen-dum attempts under the lead of other consultant teams. Antinozzi Associates provided critical support services during the pre-referendum stageincluding building & site design, models, public relations media and communications.

The school building is located on a site that takes advantage of distant vistas extending across Long Island Sound. The design concept revolvedaround the idea to express the interior spaces out to the exterior by the use of different bricks and corrugated metal panels and by three- dimen-sionally offsetting masses and wall skins. Differentiating colors and textures announce each distinct function of the walls and volumes behind theinterior spaces. In addition, the design of the new high school revolved extensively around the need to use portions of the facility for both commu-nity and high school purposes. The facility is a comprehensive high school capable of providing a wide array of electives to its diverse population ...and providing space for community organizations.

Antinozzi Associates was commissioned by the State of Connecticut Department of Public Works for the design of a major addition and renovationsto Howell Cheney Technical High School in Manchester, Connecticut.

During the design phase of this $43M project, we developed a unique, innovative solution that reduced moving costs, improved site logistics andreduced overall construction costs. It allowed for the project to be completed in three phases while students occupied the existing school. This fac-tor was overwhelmingly accepted and approved by the Regional Vocational Technical School Committee.

The addition encompassed 12 new classrooms and 10 new shop areas offering instruction in a variety of trades. The existing classrooms, adminis-trative space, gymnasium, cafeteria and library all underwent major renovations.

Antinozzi Associates has developed a very special niche in the financial market since 1972 when we began our relationship withPeople’s Bank, now known as People’s United Bank. Working with numerous clients for over 20 years, we expanded our financial clientbase when we began work with Newtown Savings Bank in 1986 and Webster Bank in 1995. Over the past decade, we continue to havesubstantial ‘on-call’ work with these institutions as well as many others including Naugatuck Valley Savings & Loan, Savings Bank ofDanbury, Union Savings Bank, Quinnipiac Bank & Trust, The Bank of New Canaan, and Naugatuck Savings Bank.

What makes us different from other design firms is our approach to each individual project. We cater to the individual institution fora branded, personal “look and feel” by customizing the design to fit the specific business plan of each bank. Most recently, we incor-porated new branding into the branch designs for Newtown Savings Bank, who completed their seventh branch in the last four years.We continue our partnership with Webster Bank (completing over 110 projects to date) and the completion of 68 supermarket branchfacilities for People’s United Bank. Over the past decade, we estimate that we have designed almost 200 bank branch facilities.

In 1996, Webster Bank (the second-largest Connecticut-based bank at the time) retained Antinozzi Associates to provide interior design and plan-ning services for the design of a technologically-based prototypical branch. The first project developed was a retail-type branch located at the newBrass Mill Center Mall in Waterbury. This design was driven by the bank’s growth and expansion of services in internet/phone banking and ATM serv-ices. Along with this prototype, our firm standardized the bank branch interiors - furniture systems, color schemes, and layout - in addition to incor-porating the latest trends in banking services. In 1998 alone, Webster Bank greatly expanded their market location outside the Hartford andWaterbury regions and converted or renovated 35 branches within 18 months. Since 1998, we have renovated over 100 branch locations. Mostnotably, in 2002, we designed a prototype branch model that would brand a new image for Webster Bank. Since successfully opening the first proto-type branches in Westchester County in 2003, 30 other branches have been built in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Creatively designedand specific to high functionablity, the design allows for local adaptibility in diverse regions with revolving facade restrictions from town to city. Ourservices not only included architectural and interior design - new and renovated - but site feasibility studies, obtaining town approvals and permits,project team coordination, and construction administration.

In 2004, Newtown Savings Bank commissioned Antinozzi Associates to help develop and implement a new brand into all of their new branches movingforward. They were moving to a new location in Shelton and wanted this branch to be a modern version of their existing branch locations. This branchwas to reflect their new logo and business direction. We conducted classroom-style programming meetings with several employees and executives,holding brainstorming sessions as to what the new brand look would be. From these meetings, we created a branch unique to the Newtown SavingsBank business direction. We introduced a flagpole with a glass wall sculpture that contained their mission statement. The flagpole is symbolic to thelocation of their headquarters in Newtown, with the center of town displaying the recognizable flagpole.

After great success with the Shelton branch, Newtown Savings retained Antinozzi Associates to continue incorporating the new brand into seven (7)additional branch locations in Brookfield, Bethel, Shelton, Southbury, Southford, and Monroe, Connecticut. We recently completed another new4,000 SF branch in Newtown, Connecticut and will complete a branch renovation, also in the Sandy Hook area of Newtown, by the end of 2010.

The professional relationship between Antinozzi Associates and People’s United Bank, formerly named People’s Bank and the #1 Connecticut basedbank, dates back to 1979. Since then, we have provided comprehensive architectural services for regional headquarters and various branch build-ings and interior design work totaling over 500,000 square feet.

In addition, our on-call design services to People’s Bank encompassed a major branch expansion and brand program with the bank. The goal of theprogram was to standardize the branches so they would all conform to a model branch that was developed by the bank and our firm. This standard-ization inlcuded not only freestanding branches but the implementation of banking services in over 70 Stop & Shop branches thrughout Connecticut. Branch design and construction is ongoing at multiple Stop & Shop locations and consists of renovations and, in some locations, the addition of oralterations to, a second prototype “upgrade” to 60 Super Stop & Shop branches. In addition, we established design criteria for the first financialservice center located in Trumbull, which was soon followed by two others centers in Torrington and Southington and then in Kennebunk, Maine.Recently a newly completed center in Monroe, as well as upgrades to locations in Colechester and Glastonbury.

This office/retail commission is comprised of three buildings totaling 121,500 SF. Building 'A' is a two-story, 20,000 SF office/retail structure.Building 'B', which is 60% leased by a major supermarket brand, is a one-story retail/office structure comprised of 91,500 SF. The third building,Building 'C', is a two-story office/retail structure totaling 10,000 SF which includes a local bank on the first floor. All of the structures were designedin collaboration with the supermarket tenant's designer and included steel framing, brick/stucco exteriors, aluminum frame with insulated glasswindows, and feature tower elements with colored prism glass.

Our developer client then asked us back to design a fourth building, a medical office building, on this 15-acre property. On a difficult and slopingsite, we created this 21,000 SF building which also incorporates a 7,000 SF garage under the structure. The first floor is comprised of 7,000 SF with atwo-story lobby enclosed with butt-glazed curtain wall. On this level is also parking beneath the 14,000 SF second floor. Using a stone veneer at thebase of the building, as well as pilasters to support the garage, we were able to blend the building with the natural surroundings of the site. Theremainder of the building is made up of ribbon windows and EIFS to match the architectural vernacular we already established.

Maintaining the character and scale in this active downtown neighborhood (across from ouroffice) was an important design criterion for this proposal. It contains four (4) floors of loft-styled office space with retail and parking on the first floor totaling 50,000 SF. The upperthree (3) floors are set back from the street line to maintain the relationship with the lowerroof lines of adjacent buildings. A ‘vest-pocket’ space will allow for outdoor dining and theterra cotta facing on the lower floors is sympathetic to the existing brick buildings on eitherside of the site. The introduction of a window design to reflect natural light deep into theoffice spaces, as well as a vegetated roof garden, are two sustainable design features wehave proposed for this building.

The project is currently in the design approval process with the City of Bridgeport.

The Fones School of Dental Hygiene (FSDH) at the University of Bridgeport requested the services of AntinozziAssociates to determine if the renovation and move of the clinic to the Warner Hall Health Science Center wasmore cost effective than to renovate the clinic in its current location in Eleanor Dana Hall. The renovationsachieve many goals including; allowing the school to consolidate its community clinic functions into one build-ing, the ability for students and clients to interact in a more office-like setting, and the opportunity for stu-dents to learn on modern, technologically up-to-date, appropriate equipment easing their transition into thework force. Ultimately, attracting more students and clinic patients to the Fones School of Dental Hygiene.

In addition, Warner Hall required minor renovations in order to be in compliance with ADA regulations. The ren-ovated floor plan layout also allows for better privacy between the clinic's 30 operatories while providing visualsupervision by the instructors.

Antinozzi Associates has provided architectural and interior design services to the religious community for over 50 years. In fact, ourfirm’s first design projects were initially religious buildings for church organizations throughout Connecticut. Our work has includedover 30 new churches and numerous additions or renovations to sanctuaries, parish halls, classroom buildings, rectories and even belltowers - all of which are a valued part of our founding heritage that contributes to the firm’s culture and success. Each project, largeor small, presents a unique design opportunity requiring sensitivity, emotion and faith. Our clients have spanned every type - from asmall non-denominational chapel in Bridgeport Hospital to the Catholic Diocese of Connecticut.

Our churches quietly reflect the sacred nature of their purpose - and the parish in which they serve. Each church is a unique designexpression that communicates a “minds-eye” image that resurfaces in one’s thoughts during contemplation. In addition, many ofthe projects we designed have required our assistance in gaining the support of certain groups, constituencies, or municipalities.

It all starts with a Client who has a Vision - whether it is to build a new facility, renovate an existing building, reallocate program space, or simplyplan for future expansion. This is when Antinozzi Associates is brought on board to facilitate, develop, and create the idea into physical form thatfulfills specific, tangible goals. Once part of the team, we instantly gather information - in many different methods - so we can fully understand theclient’s needs and create a successful, cost-effective, and sustainable design solution. As the project moves forward, more information is gatheredthrough collaboration with the client, design and/or construction team, and all the entities it takes to put a project together. The closer the designprocess is completed, the more formal our efforts become until the design is complete and construction starts.

Our primary role as Architects, Interior Designers, and Planners is to create the form and function of a building structure and the spaces within. Toget there, we must consider what guides each design. What philosophy connects each of the numerous design decisions we make? The character ofthe places and spaces in which we teach our children, shelter our families, shape our neighborhoods, employ our workforce, or market to consumersaffects the success of our communities. Design should have inspirational qualities to uplift and cultivate a productive and comfortable society. Onlyby listening to our clients and probing numerous resources can we express these diverse needs as physical, aesthetic, and spatial solutions.

From a simple diagram created in the early stages of this process, the design of a building or space develops. What we do as design leaders all startswith a Client and a Vision … and sometimes a sketch on a paper napkin ...
