DESIGN IN THE DETA ILS

The adaptive reuse of an existing building in Downtown Spokane provided Manger Sanborn a centralized location for their business at a lower environmental impact than new construction. The space was selected for overall quality of construction, abundant natural light, and an open floor plan. Magner Sanborn engaged Uptic Studios for the design and development of their 3 level office space. The project’s success relied on strategic thinking, visualization, and open communication between user groups and the design team to create a human-centered work environment.

To reduce energy consumption, construction waste, and provide long term flexibly, Magner Sanborn used modular wall and furniture systems to fulfill the functional requirements of their space. These systems have a myriad of environmental benefits compared to conventional construction, including reduced energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and material waste. The modular systems’ allow Manger Sanborn to reuse and reconfigure their space to meet future needs while lowering construction costs and environmental impacts.

VERNACULAR HEAL INGThe 11,300 square foot building was designed for an energetic group of doctors rapidly outgrowing their location. With the future needs of the practice in mind, the building is designed for flexibility and expansion. The main therapy space is open to allow for a multitude of activities and equipment, with nine private therapy rooms situated along the perimeter. A hydroponic therapy pool offers new services not available at the previous location and a yoga/TRX studio occupies the second floor. Organized as a two tenant building it allows for potential expansion of the physical therapy practice, or alternatively the space can be leased out to complimentary services. The design features a Northwest- inspired color palette, and celebrates its structure by exposing glu-lam beams and open web trusses.

As a means to increase 24 hour activity along the Riverwalk campus, a new 3-story 15,000 square foot 12 unit apartment complex is proposed along the northern edge of the campus.

Site: Riverwalk SouthGoal - 3 story mixed use (office/apartment) building.

Business activity within the Riverwalk campus has dramatically increased over the last several years. To cater to this increasing need, a proposed 3-story mixed use building will become a prominent feature of the area, supplementing an increasing need for office space. A landscaped area between the building and the Spokane River has the potential to serve as a patio for a dining establishment or cafe.

Site: Trail RehabilitationGoal - Increased lighting, trail rehabilitation & safety.

The Centennial Trail routinely serves as a pedestrian connection between the Gonzaga Campus and the surrounding neighborhood as well as providing access to Spokane River. A rehabilitated trail directly adjacent to the Spokane River, parallel to the River-walk Campus will serve as a vital link between the existing Centennial Trail and southern points of interest, including McKinstry and the Integrated Design Lab.

PERFORATED REFLECT IONSA project that began as a problem solving exercise to create access from one floor to another in a distinctive landmark building, rapidly evolved into an expression of artistic sculpture. Realizing that a prominent theater in Spokane needed more than just a simple stair on the marquee corner, we looked for inspiration around the theater. The octagon perforations in the curved sheet metal stair are a modern interpretation of the art deco geometries found in the vast coffered dome above the main stage and throughout the lobby. A multi-orb chandelier cascading down through the center void of the helical stair is a nod to the array of light bulbs that adorn the marquee. The white color of the stair was chosen in an effort to remain subtle and not distract from the historic façade of the theater, and act as a canvas for integral lighting effects that splash the stair with color and illuminate the entire corner of the building. A true result of collaborative effort: the design team, contractor, structural engineer, theater management, building owner, and fabricator worked closely from project conception through installation to make the project a success.

Republic Pi repurposed a former restaurant site next to a popular gastropub. The two restaurants have transformed a sleepy parking-oriented retail strip into a lively neighborhood center. Republic Pi patrons are greeted with ample patio space shielded from the parking lot with steel beams, fencing, and wood privacy screening. The steel and wood elements continue inside giving the space a sleek, yet cozy atmosphere.

ART IST IC INFUS IONThe existing motel was typical budget lodging before an art-loving hotel entrepreneur saw the potential for the unique site. Where most would see a cramped motel sandwiched between a parking garage, and rail viaduct, the new owner saw the opportunity for a giant art canvas. The hotel now features an eye catching color scheme and enormous pieces of art hung on the adjacent structures. The most prominent piece acts as a wind buffer protecting the stair tower. At three stories tall, the wind screen is comprised of thousands of perforations to replicate an image of a ballerina from which the owner draws inspiration. While the ballerina is constantly posed, she always feels in motion as the daylight moves around her.

Horizontal wood slats inside and out carve the restaurant into intimate spaces while ensuring the atmosphere stays open and airy.

Repurposed wood from the building, wine barrels, and a decomissioned train car accomplish that goal while reflecting on the the history of the railroad in Sandpoint. The interiors celebrate the building’s structure with exposed bricks, joists, and beams. Graphic design and branding work for the winery and a site master plan were also integral to the project.

NATURE WRAPPED IN MATER IALPark Lane Residence is a single family house designed in a fresh, northwest contemporary style. The goal of the project was to create a private space within an established neighborhood setting. The design takes into consideration the relationship between interior and exterior spaces, blurring the boundaries between inside and out, and creating a smooth transition to the natural environment. The clean geometry and contrast in materials creates an integrative design that is both artistic, functional and in harmony with its surroundings.

Park Lane Residence provides necessary privacy, while also opening the space to the surrounding environment with large floor to ceiling windows. Hard lines meeting the sky contrast the freeform, organic undulation of the surrounding landscape creating an interplay of form and space. The expansive overhangs and trellises reduce solar exposure in the summer, while providing protection from the elements and permitting daylight in the winter. The crisp hardwood, metal and boardform concrete blends the exterior with the beautiful surrounding nature of the inland northwest.

The lot is long and narrow, with more than half of it unsuitable for building.

THE NEW NE IGHBORHOODThe 2,400 square foot home was designed for a spunky retiree. After living on the family farm for decades, she was ready to move into town to be closer to her children and grandchildren. With the desire to age into the home, the main functions are contained on the main floor, and the day-lit basement dedicated to guest rooms and a recreation room for the grandkids. Always the entertainer, the owner requested an open great room concept to accommodate dinner parties as well as plenty of wall and shelf space for family photos and various mementos. The home is the first of two single family residences to be built on what was once a single residential lot; this urban in-fill site was a joint development project between the architect and general contractor.

The goal of the project was to create a contemporary cabin on Lake Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. The floorplan considers the combined occupancy of two families, providing separate spaces for privacy and common rooms that bring everyone together comfortably under one roof. The resulting 3,000-square-foot space nestles into the site overlooking the lake. A delicate balance of natural materials and custom fixtures fill the interior spaces and frame stunning views of the lake from almost every angle.
