WHAT IF WE DESIGNED OUR BUILDINGS AROUND PLACES?

AS ARCHITECTS MOVE THROUGH THE TRADITIONAL DESIGN PROCESS, THEY ALL TOO OFTEN DESIGN THEIR PROJECTS INDIVIDUALLY WITHOUT ADEQUATELY TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE SPACES BETWEEN AND AROUND THEM. WITH A FIRM-WIDE COMMITMENT FOR IMPROVING THE WAY WE APPROACH THE DESIGN OF OUR PROJECTS, EV&A USES THE NOTION OF PLACE MAKING IN ORDER TO INSPIRE OUR CLIENTS WITH BETTER DESIGN SOLUTIONS THAT ULTIMATELY RESULT IN THE CREATION OF SPACES THAT SERVE AS THE HEART OF EVERY BUILDING WE DESIGN. BY THOUGHTFULLY SHAPING THE SPACES AROUND OUR PROJECTS WE ULTIMATELY STRENGTHEN THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND THE PEOPLE IT SERVES.

SUCCESSFUL PLACE MAKING MUST NOT ONLY BE PEOPLE CENTERED BUT A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS INVOLVING THE OWNER, THE ARCHITECT, THE INTERIOR DESIGNER AND THE END USERS. IT INVOLVES LOOKING AT, LISTENING TO, AND ASKING QUESTIONS OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY IN EVERY BUILT ENVIRONMENT WE DESIGN IN ORDER TO DISCOVER THE APPROPRIATE VISION FOR EVERY PLACE. THAT VISION SERVES AS A BASIS FOR EVERY DESIGN DECISION WE MAKE GOING FORWARD AND ONCE REALIZED, BRINGS IMMEDIATE BENEFITS TO THESE SPACES AND THE PEOPLE WHO USE THEM.

GOOD PLACE MAKING IMPROVES THE VERY SPACES AND BUILDINGS WE ENVISION AND ULTIMATELY DESIGN. CONSIDERING A BUILDING’S CONTEXT, ITS STREETS, ITS SIDEWALKS, ITS PARKS AND PUBLIC SPACES, RESULTS IN NOT JUST GOOD DESIGN BUT GREAT COMMUNITIES AND THAT’S WHEN ARCHITECTURE TRANSCENDS THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.

THE CASE FOR PLACE

ARCHITECTURE IS MORE THAN THE ART OF DESIGNING BUILDINGS. IT IS THE SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY OF CREATING ENVIRONMENTS THAT RESONATE WITH THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY WITHIN THEM. TOO OFTEN, TRADITIONAL DESIGN PROCESSES ISOLATE BUILDINGS AS SINGULAR OBJECTS, FAILING TO FULLY INTEGRATE THE SPACES THAT SURROUND THEM. YET, THESE SPACES, STREETS, SIDEWALKS, PARKS, AND PLAZAS—SERVE AS THE LIFEBLOOD OF COMMUNITIES.

AT EV&A, WE ASK: WHAT IF WE DESIGNED OUR BUILDINGS AROUND PLACES? WHAT IF THE ARCHITECTURE WE CREATED WASN’T JUST AN ISOLATED OBJECT BUT PART OF A LARGER, INTERCONNECTED SYSTEM OF SPACES DESIGNED TO SERVE AND INSPIRE? THIS QUESTION IS NOT JUST THEORETICAL; IT’S THE FOUNDATION OF OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY.

THROUGH A FIRM-WIDE COMMITMENT TO PLACEMAKING, WE SHIFT THE FOCUS OF DESIGN TOWARD THE EXPERIENCE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WILL INHABIT AND INTERACT WITH THE SPACES WE CREATE. BY THOUGHTFULLY SHAPING THE AREAS AROUND OUR PROJECTS, WE CAN CRAFT ENVIRONMENTS THAT STRENGTHEN THE BOND BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND THE PEOPLE IT SERVES. THIS BOOK IS A REFLECTION OF THAT PHILOSOPHY, A GUIDE TO RETHINKING DESIGN AS A MEANS OF ENHANCING LIFE, CREATING CONNECTIONS, AND ELEVATING OUR COMMUNITIES.

THE PROBLEM WITH OBJECT-DRIVEN DESIGN

THE TRADITIONAL DESIGN PROCESS FOR ARCHITECTS OFTEN STARTS WITH A SINGLE QUESTION: WHAT WILL THIS BUILDING LOOK LIKE? THIS APPROACH PLACES EMPHASIS ON THE OBJECT ITSELF, FOCUSING ON

ITS FORM, MATERIALS, AND IMMEDIATE FUNCTION. WHILE THIS METHOD HAS PRODUCED ICONIC BUILDINGS THROUGHOUT HISTORY, IT NEGLECTS THE SPACES SURROUNDING THE ARCHITECTURE. THE RESULT? FRAGMENTED CITIES, DISCONNECTED NEIGHBORHOODS, AND MISSED OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

OBJECT-DRIVEN DESIGN TREATS BUILDINGS AS ISLANDS, STANDING ALONE IN A SEA OF INFRASTRUCTURE. IN THIS MODEL, LITTLE THOUGHT IS GIVEN TO HOW THE SURROUNDING SIDEWALKS MIGHT ENCOURAGE INTERACTION OR HOW ADJACENT PARKS MIGHT INVITE REST AND RELAXATION. THE EMPHASIS IS ON THE WHAT, WITH LITTLE REGARD FOR THE WHERE OR WHY.

FOR EXAMPLE, IMAGINE A STATE-OF-THE-ART CORPORATE OFFICE BUILDING, DESIGNED WITH STRIKING GLASS FAÇADES AND CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY. WITHOUT CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF ITS SURROUNDINGS, THIS BUILDING MIGHT TURN ITS BACK ON THE STREET, FAIL TO CONNECT WITH ADJACENT SPACES, OR CREATE SHADOWED AREAS THAT FEEL UNINVITING TO PEDESTRIANS. WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A VIBRANT COMMUNITY HUB BECOMES, INSTEAD, AN ISOLATED STRUCTURE.

AT EV&A, WE RECOGNIZE THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS APPROACH. WE BELIEVE THAT GREAT ARCHITECTURE DOES NOT EXIST IN A VACUUM. IT IS PART OF A GREATER WHOLE, A NETWORK OF STREETS, PUBLIC SPACES, AND SOCIAL INTERACTIONS. OUR PHILOSOPHY OF PLACEMAKING SEEKS TO ADDRESS THIS DISCONNECT BY CONSIDERING THE SPACES BETWEEN AND AROUND BUILDINGS AS INTEGRAL TO THE DESIGN PROCESS.

WHAT IS PLACEMAKING?

PLACEMAKING IS BOTH AN ART AND A SCIENCE. AT ITS CORE, IT IS A PEOPLE-CENTERED APPROACH TO DESIGN THAT FOCUSES ON CREATING SPACES THAT FOSTER SOCIAL INTERACTION, ENCOURAGE ENGAGEMENT, AND ENHANCE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE. PLACEMAKING GOES BEYOND AESTHETICS AND FUNCTIONALITY; IT ASKS QUESTIONS LIKE:

HOW WILL THIS SPACE MAKE PEOPLE FEEL? HOW WILL IT ENCOURAGE THEM TO INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER?

HOW WILL IT CONTRIBUTE TO THE VIBRANCY OF THE COMMUNITY?

AT EV&A, WE SEE PLACEMAKING AS A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS. IT BEGINS WITH LISTENING, TO THE OWNER, THE ARCHITECT, THE INTERIOR DESIGNER, AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE PEOPLE WHO WILL LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY IN THE SPACE. BY UNDERSTANDING THEIR NEEDS, ASPIRATIONS, AND DAILY RHYTHMS, WE CAN CRAFT A VISION THAT RESONATES ON BOTH A FUNCTIONAL AND EMOTIONAL LEVEL.

THIS VISION BECOMES THE FOUNDATION FOR EVERY DESIGN DECISION WE MAKE, ENSURING THAT THE END RESULT IS NOT JUST A BUILDING, BUT A PLACE, A SPACE THAT SERVES AS THE HEART OF ITS COMMUNITY.

THE PRINCIPLES OF GREAT PLACEMAKING

PEOPLE FIRST - THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PLACES ARE THOSE DESIGNED WITH PEOPLE IN MIND. THIS MEANS PRIORITIZING HUMAN COMFORT, SAFETY, AND WELLBEING AT EVERY STAGE OF THE DESIGN PROCESS. SIDEWALKS THAT ARE TOO NARROW, PARKS THAT FEEL UNSAFE, OR PLAZAS THAT LACK SHADE ALL FAIL TO MEET THIS BASIC CRITERION.

BY DESIGNING SPACES THAT CATER TO HUMAN NEEDS, SUCH AS AREAS FOR GATHERING, RESTING, OR PLAYING,

WE CAN CREATE ENVIRONMENTS THAT FEEL WELCOMING AND VIBRANT.

CONTEXT MATTERS - EVERY SITE HAS A STORY TO TELL. ITS HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE SHOULD INFORM THE DESIGN PROCESS. A PROJECT IN THE HEART OF A BUSTLING URBAN CENTER WILL REQUIRE A DIFFERENT APPROACH THAN ONE NESTLED IN A QUIET SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD.

UNDERSTANDING THE CONTEXT ALLOWS US TO CREATE SPACES THAT FEEL AUTHENTIC AND ROOTED IN THEIR SURROUNDINGS, RATHER THAN IMPOSED UPON THEM.

CONNECTIVITY IS KEY - PLACES DO NOT EXIST IN ISOLATION. THEY ARE PART OF A LARGER NETWORK OF STREETS, PARKS, AND PUBLIC SPACES. GREAT PLACEMAKING ENSURES THAT THESE ELEMENTS ARE SEAMLESSLY CONNECTED, ALLOWING FOR EASY MOVEMENT AND INTERACTION.

FOR EXAMPLE, A PUBLIC PLAZA MIGHT SERVE AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN A BUSY RETAIL DISTRICT AND A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, CREATING A SPACE WHERE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE CAN COME TOGETHER.

FLEXIBILITY AND ADAPTABILITY - THE NEEDS OF A COMMUNITY CAN CHANGE OVER TIME. SPACES DESIGNED WITH FLEXIBILITY IN MIND, SUCH AS MULTIPURPOSE PLAZAS OR MODULAR SEATING AREAS, CAN ADAPT TO THESE CHANGES, ENSURING THEIR CONTINUED RELEVANCE.

SUSTAINABILITY AND HEALTH - A COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY IS CENTRAL TO PLACEMAKING. THIS INCLUDES EVERYTHING FROM USING ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS TO DESIGNING SPACES THAT ENCOURAGE WALKING, CYCLING, AND OTHER FORMS OF ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION.

DESIGNING THE SPACES BETWEEN

WHEN WE THINK ABOUT ARCHITECTURE, OUR MINDS OFTEN FOCUS ON THE BUILDINGS THEMSELVES—THEIR SHAPES, MATERIALS, AND INTERIORS. HOWEVER, SOME OF THE MOST IMPACTFUL ELEMENTS OF URBAN DESIGN ARE NOT THE STRUCTURES BUT THE SPACES BETWEEN THEM. THESE INTERSTITIAL AREAS, PLAZAS, PARKS, SIDEWALKS, AND OTHER PUBLIC SPACES, SERVE AS THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE OF OUR CITIES, FOSTERING COMMUNITY, ENABLING ACTIVITY, AND ENHANCING QUALITY OF LIFE. DESIGNING THESE SPACES WITH INTENTION TRANSFORMS THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT INTO A VIBRANT, COHESIVE WHOLE, ELEVATING URBAN LIFE FOR ALL WHO INTERACT WITH IT.

THE ROLE OF PUBLIC SPACES

PUBLIC SPACES ARE MORE THAN JUST VOIDS BETWEEN BUILDINGS; THEY ARE THE STAGES WHERE EVERYDAY LIFE UNFOLDS. A WELL-DESIGNED PLAZA OR PARK BECOMES A COMMUNAL LIVING ROOM, A PLACE WHERE STRANGERS BECOME NEIGHBORS AND NEIGHBORHOODS DEVELOP A COLLECTIVE IDENTITY. PUBLIC SPACES HAVE THE POWER TO FOSTER SOCIAL INTERACTION, BUILD CIVIC PRIDE, AND STRENGTHEN THE SOCIAL FABRIC OF A COMMUNITY.

PLAZAS, FOR EXAMPLE, ARE PLACES WHERE COMMUNITIES GATHER TO CELEBRATE MILESTONES OR SIMPLY TO ENJOY THE RHYTHM OF DAILY LIFE. PARKS PROVIDE NOT ONLY A BREAK FROM THE URBAN LANDSCAPE BUT ALSO SPACES FOR PLAY, RELAXATION, AND REFLECTION. SIDEWALKS, OFTEN OVERLOOKED, ARE THE VEINS OF A CITY, WHERE CASUAL INTERACTIONS OCCUR, AND THE PULSE OF URBAN LIFE IS MOST EVIDENT.

WHEN THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED, THESE SPACES CAN TRANSCEND THEIR FUNCTIONAL ROLES TO BECOME SYMBOLS OF A COMMUNITY’S IDENTITY AND VALUES. TAKE, FOR INSTANCE, THE TRANSFORMATION OF TIMES

SQUARE IN NEW YORK CITY INTO A PEDESTRIANFRIENDLY ZONE. BY RECLAIMING THE SPACE FOR PEOPLE RATHER THAN VEHICLES, IT EVOLVED INTO A GLOBAL SYMBOL OF URBAN VIBRANCY AND A MAGNET FOR RESIDENTS AND TOURISTS ALIKE.

DESIGNING FOR ACTIVITY

TO CREATE SPACES THAT PEOPLE ACTIVELY USE, DESIGNERS MUST CONSIDER NOT JUST AESTHETICS BUT ALSO FUNCTIONALITY AND ENGAGEMENT. THE GOAL IS TO DESIGN ENVIRONMENTS THAT INVITE PEOPLE TO LINGER, INTERACT, AND PARTICIPATE.

THE SPACES BETWEEN OUR BUILDINGS ARE NOT AFTERTHOUGHTS, THEY ARE THE HEARTBEAT OF OUR CITIES. BY PRIORITIZING THE DESIGN OF PLAZAS, PARKS, SIDEWALKS, AND OTHER PUBLIC SPACES, ARCHITECTS AND URBAN PLANNERS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHAPE ENVIRONMENTS THAT BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER, SUPPORT WELL-BEING, AND FOSTER A DEEP SENSE OF COMMUNITY PRIDE. THOUGHTFUL PLACEMAKING TRANSFORMS NOT JUST THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT BUT ALSO THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO INTERACT WITH IT, ENSURING THAT OUR CITIES ARE AS VIBRANT, INCLUSIVE, AND RESILIENT AS THE PEOPLE WHO CALL THEM HOME.

EV&A USES THE NOTION OF PLACE MAKING IN OUR DESIGN PROCESS TO INSPIRE OUR CLIENTS WITH BETTER SOLUTIONS THAT ULTIMATELY RESULT IN THE CREATION OF SPACES THAT SERVE AS THE HEART OF EVERY BUILDING WE DESIGN.

Places to WORK

THE HOWARD HUGHES CORPORATION’S TWO SUMMERLIN

RISING WITH QUIET

AUTHORITY ALONG PAVILION CENTER DRIVE, JUST EAST OF RED ROCK RESORT, TWO SUMMERLIN ASSERTS ITSELF AS A DEFINING CORPORATE ADDRESS IN THE EVOLVING URBAN FABRIC OF DOWNTOWN SUMMERLIN. MORE THAN A CLASS A OFFICE BUILDING, THE SIX-STORY, 150,000-SQUARE-FOOT TOWER OPERATES AS A PLACEMAKING INSTRUMENT, ONE THAT MEDIATES BETWEEN DESERT LANDSCAPE AND EMERGING CITY, BETWEEN CORPORATE PERFORMANCE AND CIVIC PRESENCE.

TWO SUMMERLIN SUMMERLIN, NEVADA

COMPLETED IN LATE 2018, THE BUILDING SERVED AS THE HEADQUARTERS FOR THE HOWARD HUGHES CORPORATION ALONGSIDE A ROSTER OF HIGH-PROFILE TENANTS, ANCHORING A DISTRICT INCREASINGLY DEFINED BY WALKABILITY, DENSITY, AND MIXED-USE VITALITY. EV&A APPROACHED THE PROJECT NOT AS AN ISOLATED OBJECT, BUT AS A CONTRIBUTOR TO A BROADER URBAN ECOSYSTEM, USING ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE TO REINFORCE DOWNTOWN SUMMERLIN’S IDENTITY AS A CONTEMPORARY URBAN NODE WITHIN THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST.

THE BUILDING’S ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE IS ROOTED IN DISCIPLINED MODERNISM, EXPRESSED THROUGH A TAUT FAÇADE OF CUSTOM PRECAST CONCRETE PANELS PAIRED WITH HIGH-PERFORMANCE GLAZING.

THE WARM, DESERT-INSPIRED PALETTE GROUNDS THE TOWER IN ITS MOJAVE CONTEXT, WHILE DEEP VERTICAL REVEALS AND CRISP HORIZONTAL BANDING CREATE A DYNAMIC INTERPLAY OF LIGHT AND SHADOW THAT SHIFTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THIS SCULPTURAL ARTICULATION LENDS THE BUILDING BOTH VISUAL DEPTH AND CLIMATIC RESPONSIVENESS, BALANCING ELEGANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE.

BEHIND THE FAÇADE, A ROBUST STEEL SUPERSTRUCTURE ENABLES LARGE, FLEXIBLE FLOOR PLATES CAPABLE OF ACCOMMODATING A WIDE RANGE OF TENANT CONFIGURATIONS. EXPANSIVE FLOOR-TO-CEILING GLAZING DRAWS DAYLIGHT DEEP INTO THE WORKPLACE AND FRAMES PANORAMIC VIEWS OF RED ROCK CANYON AND THE LAS VEGAS SKYLINE, REINFORCING A CONTINUOUS VISUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTERIOR SPACES AND THE SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE. THESE GESTURES TRANSFORM THE EXPERIENCE OF WORK, GROUNDING DAILY ROUTINES IN THE RHYTHMS OF PLACE AND CLIMATE.

SUSTAINABILITY WAS EMBEDDED FROM THE OUTSET, WITH THE BUILDING ACHIEVING LEED SILVER CERTIFICATION THROUGH A COMBINATION OF LOW-E GLAZING, HIGHEFFICIENCY HVAC SYSTEMS, LED LIGHTING, AND WATERWISE LANDSCAPE STRATEGIES TAILORED TO THE ARID MOJAVE DESERT.

TWO SUMMERLIN

SUMMERLIN, NEVADA

RATHER THAN TREATING SUSTAINABILITY AS A TECHNICAL OVERLAY, THE DESIGN INTEGRATES PERFORMANCE INTO ITS ARCHITECTURAL AND SPATIAL LOGIC, ENSURING COMFORT, EFFICIENCY, AND LONGEVITY WITHOUT COMPROMISING AESTHETIC CLARITY.

AT THE GROUND PLANE, PLACEMAKING BECOMES MOST TANGIBLE. THE SITE IS CAREFULLY COMPOSED AS AN URBAN OASIS, WHERE LAYERED NATIVE PLANTINGS, SHADED WALKWAYS, AND OUTDOOR SEATING AREAS SOFTEN THE CORPORATE EDGE AND INVITE ENGAGEMENT BEYOND THE BUILDING ENVELOPE. THE LANDSCAPE STRATEGY MEDIATES SCALE, TRANSITIONING FROM THE VEHICULAR REALM TO PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE WHILE ENCOURAGING YEAR-ROUND USE DESPITE THE DESERT CLIMATE.

TWO SUMMERLIN SUMMERLIN, NEVADA

THESE OUTDOOR SPACES FUNCTION AS EXTENSIONS OF THE WORKPLACE—PLACES FOR INFORMAL MEETINGS, RESPITE, AND SOCIAL EXCHANGE—REINFORCING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY WITHIN A CORPORATE SETTING.

PARKING, OFTEN A DISRUPTIVE FORCE IN SUBURBAN OFFICE DEVELOPMENTS, IS DISCREETLY INTEGRATED INTO A MULTI-LEVEL STRUCTURE CLAD IN COMPLEMENTARY MATERIALS THAT PRESERVE A COHESIVE ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY. ITS PLACEMENT AND DETAILING MAINTAIN PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY EDGES AND REINFORCE THE PRIMACY OF THE PUBLIC REALM, ALLOWING THE BUILDING AND LANDSCAPE TO DEFINE THE SITE’S CHARACTER RATHER THAN ITS INFRASTRUCTURE.

TOGETHER, ARCHITECTURE, LANDSCAPE, AND PLANNING CONVERGE TO POSITION TWO SUMMERLIN AS MORE THAN AN EFFICIENT WORKPLACE. THE PROJECT EXEMPLIFIES HOW CORPORATE ARCHITECTURE CAN CONTRIBUTE MEANINGFULLY TO PLACEMAKING, ESTABLISHING IDENTITY, SUPPORTING URBAN LIFE, AND RESPONDING THOUGHTFULLY TO CLIMATE AND CONTEXT.

IN DOING SO, TWO SUMMERLIN SETS A BENCHMARK FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE, DESIGN-FORWARD OFFICE ENVIRONMENTS IN THE CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN WEST, REINFORCING DOWNTOWN SUMMERLIN’S EMERGENCE AS A VIBRANT, LIVABLE DISTRICT ROOTED IN BOTH INNOVATION AND PLACE.

CREDIT ONE BANK CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS PHASE TWO

AS ONE OF THE

FASTEST-GROWING CREDIT CARD ISSUERS IN THE UNITED STATES, CREDIT ONE BANK CONTINUES TO INVEST IN ITS PHYSICAL PRESENCE AS A REFLECTION OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND LONG-TERM VISION. THE SECOND PHASE OF THE BANK’S LAS VEGAS–BASED CORPORATE CAMPUS MARKS A SIGNIFICANT EVOLUTION OF THAT STRATEGY, EXPANDING THE 22-ACRE SITE WITH A NEW FOUR-STORY, 157,000-SQUAREFOOT OFFICE COMPLEX LOCATED JUST WEST OF THE FIRM’S FLAGSHIP HEADQUARTERS, COMPLETED IN 2016.

CREDIT ONE BANK HEADQUARTERS

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

DESIGNED BY EV&A, THE EXPANSION IS LESS AN ISOLATED ADDITION THAN A DELIBERATE ACT OF PLACEMAKING. ONE THAT STRENGTHENS CAMPUS IDENTITY WHILE CULTIVATING A COHESIVE AND HUMAN-CENTERED WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT. RATHER THAN REPLICATING THE ORIGINAL HEADQUARTERS WHOLESALE, THE DESIGN NEGOTIATES CONTINUITY AND DISTINCTION.

THE NEW BUILDING DRAWS FROM THE ESTABLISHED ARCHITECTURAL VERNACULAR, CLEAN LINES, A DISCIPLINED MATERIAL PALETTE, AND STRONG HORIZONTAL EXPRESSION, WHILE ASSERTING ITS OWN PRESENCE THROUGH REFINED MASSING AND CONTEMPORARY DETAILING. THIS BALANCE ALLOWS THE EXPANSION TO READ AS BOTH FAMILIAR AND FORWARD-LOOKING, REINFORCING A SENSE OF INSTITUTIONAL CONTINUITY WHILE SIGNALING GROWTH AND MOMENTUM. AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT IS A TWOSTORY, 4,000-SQUARE-FOOT “TOWN HALL” COMMONS THAT PHYSICALLY AND SYMBOLICALLY UNITES THE NEW OFFICE BUILDING WITH ITS PREDECESSOR.

CONCEIVED AS THE SOCIAL AND SPATIAL ANCHOR OF THE CAMPUS, THE TOWN HALL TRANSFORMS CIRCULATION INTO EXPERIENCE, FUNCTIONING AS A CONNECTIVE SPINE AND A SHARED PLACE OF GATHERING. MORE THAN A LINK BETWEEN BUILDINGS, THE SPACE ESTABLISHES A CLEAR SENSE OF ARRIVAL AND ORIENTATION, OFFERING EMPLOYEES A COMMUNAL LIVING ROOM THAT ENCOURAGES COLLABORATION, INFORMAL EXCHANGE, AND A SHARED SENSE OF PURPOSE.

CREDIT ONE BANK HEADQUARTERS LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

THE TOWN HALL’S OPENNESS, VERTICAL VOLUME, AND TRANSPARENCY FOSTER VISUAL AND PHYSICAL CONNECTIVITY ACROSS THE CAMPUS, REINFORCING PLACEMAKING AT BOTH THE ARCHITECTURAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL SCALES. PROGRAMMED TO SUPPORT EVERYTHING FROM ALL-HANDS MEETINGS TO SPONTANEOUS INTERACTION, THE SPACE EMBODIES A SHIFT AWAY FROM ISOLATED OFFICE TYPOLOGIES TOWARD A WORKPLACE DEFINED BY COMMUNITY AND ENGAGEMENT. IN THIS WAY, THE COMMONS BECOMES THE CULTURAL HEART OF THE CAMPUS, ANCHORING DAILY LIFE AND REINFORCING INSTITUTIONAL IDENTITY.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE AND ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION CONVERGE MOST VISIBLY IN THE PROJECT’S SOUTH- AND WESTFACING SOLAR SHADING SYSTEM. DESIGNED AS AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF THE BUILDING ENVELOPE, THE SHADING DEVICE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES SOLAR HEAT GAIN—AN ESSENTIAL RESPONSE TO THE MOJAVE DESERT CLIMATE, WHILE ENHANCING OCCUPANT COMFORT AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY. ITS BOLD ARTICULATION GIVES THE BUILDING A DISTINCT VISUAL IDENTITY, TRANSFORMING A HIGH-PERFORMANCE NECESSITY INTO A DEFINING ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE.

THE RESULT IS AN ENVELOPE THAT COMMUNICATES BOTH ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND DESIGN INTENT, UNDERSCORING EV&A’S COMMITMENT TO ALIGNING FORM AND FUNCTION.

ACROSS THE SITE, CAREFUL INTEGRATION OF BUILDING MASSING, CIRCULATION, AND SHARED SPACES REINFORCES THE CAMPUS AS A UNIFIED PLACE RATHER THAN A COLLECTION OF DISCRETE STRUCTURES. THE EXPANSION REDEFINES THE WORKPLACE EXPERIENCE BY PRIORITIZING CONNECTION BETWEEN PEOPLE, BUILDINGS, AND ENVIRONMENT, WHILE SUPPORTING THE OPERATIONAL NEEDS OF A RAPIDLY GROWING FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. THROUGH THIS PROJECT, CREDIT ONE BANK’S CAMPUS EVOLVES INTO A MORE LEGIBLE, COHESIVE, AND PEOPLECENTERED ENVIRONMENT, ONE THAT REFLECTS THE COMPANY’S STATURE WITHIN THE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY AND ITS ROLE WITHIN THE BROADER LAS VEGAS BUSINESS COMMUNITY.

FOR EV&A, THE PROJECT EXEMPLIFIES HOW PLACEMAKING PRINCIPLES CAN ELEVATE CORPORATE ARCHITECTURE, TRANSFORMING EXPANSION INTO AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE ENDURING IDENTITY, FOSTER COMMUNITY, AND SHAPE MEANINGFUL WORKPLACE EXPERIENCES.

THE ARISTOCRAT CORPORATION HEADQUARTERS SUMMERLIN

NESTLED QUIETLY

ON THE DESERT FLOOR AT THE FOOTHILLS OF THE SPRING MOUNTAINS, ARISTOCRAT TECHNOLOGIES’ NORTH AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS REIMAGINES THE SUBURBAN OFFICE CAMPUS AS A COHESIVE PLACE SHAPED BY CLIMATE, CULTURE, AND COMMUNITY. DEVELOPED BY THE HOWARD HUGHES CORPORATION ON A 12-ACRE SITE IN SUMMERLIN, NEVADA, THE PROJECT CONSOLIDATES THE OPERATIONS OF ONE OF THE WORLD’S LEADING GAMING TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES INTO A PAIR OF THREE-STORY OFFICE BUILDINGS THAT BALANCE VISIBILITY AND ACCESS WITH A CAREFULLY CALIBRATED INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT.

ARISTOCRAT TECHNOLOGIES SUMMERLIN, NEVADA

THE RELOCATION, MOTIVATED BY IMPROVED FREEWAY ACCESS AND REGIONAL PROMINENCE, PRESENTED AN OPPORTUNITY TO RETHINK THE CAMPUS NOT AS AN OBJECT IN THE LANDSCAPE, BUT AS AN EXPERIENCE ROOTED IN PLACEMAKING. EV&A APPROACHED THE PROJECT AS A CAMPUSSCALE INTERVENTION, USING ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE TO ESTABLISH A CLEAR SENSE OF IDENTITY WHILE FOSTERING COLLABORATION AND ADAPTABILITY.

A COMPREHENSIVE RE-EVALUATION OF INTERNAL ADJACENCIES INFORMED THE PLANNING STRATEGY, RESULTING IN WORK ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE MORE EFFICIENT, FLEXIBLE, AND RESPONSIVE TO ARISTOCRAT’S DYNAMIC, INNOVATION-DRIVEN CULTURE. EACH 93,000-SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING IS POSITIONED TO FRAME A LANDSCAPED CENTRAL PLAZA THAT FUNCTIONS AS THE ORGANIZATIONAL AND SOCIAL HEART OF THE CAMPUS. CONCEIVED AS AN OUTDOOR ROOM RATHER THAN A RESIDUAL OPEN SPACE, THE PLAZA ESTABLISHES A STRONG SENSE OF ARRIVAL WHILE SUPPORTING GATHERINGS, INFORMAL MEETINGS, AND DAILY MOMENTS OF PAUSE. CIRCULATION PATHS AND COMMON AREAS ARE ORIENTED TOWARD THIS SHARED LANDSCAPE, ENSURING THAT MOVEMENT ACROSS THE CAMPUS REINFORCES SOCIAL INTERACTION AND A COLLECTIVE SENSE OF PLACE.

THE ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE

REFLECTS ARISTOCRAT’S MODERN DESIGN VERNACULAR THROUGH CRISP GEOMETRIES, BOLD MASSING, AND A RESTRAINED YET EXPRESSIVE MATERIAL PALETTE. THE EXTERIOR DESIGN IS THOUGHTFULLY CRAFTED WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF SHADING ELEMENTS STRATEGICALLY INTEGRATED INTO AND AROUND THE BUILDING’S COMMON AREAS. THESE ELEMENTS SERVE AS BOTH ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION, RESPONDING DIRECTLY TO THE MOJAVE DESERT CLIMATE WHILE ENRICHING THE VISUAL IDENTITY OF THE CAMPUS.

ARISTOCRAT TECHNOLOGIES SUMMERLIN, NEVADA

BY FILTERING THE DESERT’S INTENSE SUMMER SUN, THE SHADING SYSTEMS CREATE COMFORTABLE AND INVITING OUTDOOR SPACES THAT EXTEND THE WORKPLACE BEYOND THE BUILDING ENVELOPE. TERRACES, GATHERING AREAS, AND CIRCULATION ZONES REMAIN USABLE THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE YEAR, ENCOURAGING EMPLOYEES AND VISITORS TO ENGAGE WITH THE LANDSCAPE RATHER THAN RETREAT FROM IT. IN THIS WAY, THE PROJECT FOSTERS A HARMONIOUS CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND ITS NATURAL SURROUNDINGS, REINFORCING PLACEMAKING THROUGH CLIMATERESPONSIVE DESIGN.

METICULOUSLY POSITIONED AND CAREFULLY ARTICULATED, THE SHADING ELEMENTS REFLECT A BROADER COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY AND HUMAN-CENTRIC DESIGN. THEIR RHYTHMIC PRESENCE ADDS DEPTH AND TEXTURE TO THE FAÇADES WHILE SUPPORTING ENERGY PERFORMANCE AND OCCUPANT COMFORT. RATHER THAN FUNCTIONING AS APPLIED FEATURES, THE SHADING SYSTEMS ARE INTEGRAL TO THE ARCHITECTURE, SHAPING SPATIAL EXPERIENCE AND REINFORCING THE CAMPUS’S IDENTITY AS A PLACE DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE.

SURFACE PARKING, PROVIDED AT A RATIO OF FIVE SPACES PER 1,000 SQUARE FEET, IS DISTRIBUTED TO MAINTAIN CONVENIENCE WITHOUT DIMINISHING THE PROMINENCE OF THE CENTRAL PLAZA. THE SITE

ARISTOCRAT TECHNOLOGIES

PLANNING EMPHASIZES CLARITY AND LEGIBILITY, ENSURING INTUITIVE NAVIGATION WHILE MAINTAINING A STRONG VISUAL PRESENCE AT THE INTERSECTION OF FLAMINGO ROAD AND HUALAPAI WAY.

ULTIMATELY, THE ARISTOCRAT TECHNOLOGIES HEADQUARTERS DEMONSTRATES HOW PLACEMAKING PRINCIPLES, GROUNDED IN CLIMATE, COMMUNITY, AND SPATIAL CLARITY, CAN ELEVATE CORPORATE ARCHITECTURE.

BY PRIORITIZING SHARED SPACE, ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIVENESS, AND EXPERIENTIAL QUALITY, THE PROJECT ESTABLISHES A WORKPLACE THAT IS BOTH PERFORMATIVE AND HUMANE, ALIGNING ARISTOCRAT’S PHYSICAL PRESENCE WITH ITS GLOBAL REPUTATION FOR INNOVATION AND DESIGN EXCELLENCE.

THE HOWARD HUGHES CORPORATION’S ONE MERIDIAN

STRATEGICALLY

POSITIONED AT THE INTERSECTION OF FLAMINGO ROAD AND HUALAPAI WAY, THE NEXT PHASE OF THE VILLAGE 15 OFFICE CAMPUS LEVERAGES VISIBILITY, ACCESS, AND LANDSCAPE TO TRANSFORM A HIGHLY TRAFFICKED SITE INTO A COHESIVE WORKPLACE DESTINATION. DESIGNED BY EV&A, THE PROJECT INTRODUCES A PAIR OF THREE-STORY SPECULATIVE OFFICE BUILDINGS THAT EXTEND THE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN ESTABLISHED BY THE ARISTOCRAT GAMING HEADQUARTERS TO THE SOUTH, COMPLETED FIVE YEARS EARLIER.

ONE MERIDIAN SUMMERLIN, NEVADA

TOGETHER, THE BUILDINGS REINFORCE VILLAGE 15’S EVOLUTION FROM A CONVENTIONAL OFFICE PARK INTO A PLACE-DEFINED CAMPUS ROOTED IN CONNECTION, IDENTITY, AND LONGTERM FLEXIBILITY.

EACH BUILDING ENCOMPASSES APPROXIMATELY 73,800 SQUARE FEET AND IS CAREFULLY SITED TO FRAME A CENTRAL LANDSCAPED PLAZA THAT SERVES AS THE SOCIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL HEART OF THE DEVELOPMENT. RATHER THAN PRIORITIZING FRONTAGE ALONE, THE PLANNING STRATEGY INVERTS THE TYPICAL SUBURBAN MODEL, USING ARCHITECTURE TO DEFINE OUTDOOR SPACE AND ESTABLISH A CLEAR SENSE OF ARRIVAL. THE PLAZA FUNCTIONS AS AN OUTDOOR ROOM, ANCHORING DAILY ACTIVITY WHILE FOSTERING INTERACTION, RESPITE, AND INFORMAL COLLABORATION AMONG TENANTS.

THIS SHARED LANDSCAPE IS INTEGRAL TO THE PROJECT’S PLACEMAKING AGENDA. SHADED SEATING AREAS, PEDESTRIAN-SCALED PATHWAYS, AND LAYERED DESERT PLANTINGS CREATE A COMFORTABLE AND INVITING ENVIRONMENT THAT ENCOURAGES USE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS AND LANDSCAPE FEATURES WORK IN CONCERT TO MODERATE THE DESERT CLIMATE, ALLOWING OUTDOOR SPACE TO BECOME AN EXTENSION OF THE

ONE MERIDIAN SUMMERLIN, NEVADA

WORKPLACE RATHER THAN A DECORATIVE BUFFER.

THE RESULT IS A CAMPUS EXPERIENCE THAT PRIVILEGES PEOPLE AND MOVEMENT, REINFORCING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY WITHIN A SPECULATIVE DEVELOPMENT.

THE BUILDINGS THEMSELVES ARE ORIENTED TO CAPITALIZE ON SWEEPING VIEWS OF THE LAS VEGAS SKYLINE AND SURROUNDING DESERT TERRAIN, GROUNDING THE WORKPLACE IN ITS REGIONAL CONTEXT.

A REFINED DESERT MODERN AESTHETIC, CONSISTENT WITH THE BROADER VILLAGE 15 MASTER PLAN ENSURES ARCHITECTURAL CONTINUITY ACROSS PHASES WHILE ALLOWING THIS EXPANSION TO ASSERT ITS OWN IDENTITY. MASSING, MATERIALS, AND DETAILING ALIGN WITH THE ESTABLISHED LANGUAGE OF THE CAMPUS, REINFORCING COHESION WITHOUT RESORTING TO REPLICATION.

ONE MERIDIAN SUMMERLIN, NEVADA

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY REMAINS A KEY CONSIDERATION. THE TENACRE SITE ACCOMMODATES SURFACE PARKING AT A RATIO OF FIVE SPACES PER 1,000 SQUARE FEET, BALANCING TENANT CONVENIENCE WITH A SITE PLAN THAT PRIORITIZES LANDSCAPE AND PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE. PARKING IS ORGANIZED TO SUPPORT INTUITIVE CIRCULATION AND MINIMIZE VISUAL IMPACT, ALLOWING THE CENTRAL PLAZA AND BUILDING FAÇADES TO DEFINE THE CHARACTER OF THE CAMPUS.

BY INTEGRATING SPECULATIVE OFFICE DEVELOPMENT WITH PLACEMAKING PRINCIPLES TYPICALLY RESERVED FOR CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS OR MIXED-USE DISTRICTS, EV&A ELEVATES VILLAGE 15 BEYOND MARKET-DRIVEN NECESSITY. THE PROJECT DEMONSTRATES HOW THOUGHTFUL SITE PLANNING, SHARED OPEN SPACE, AND ARCHITECTURAL COHESION CAN TRANSFORM A HIGHLY VISIBLE COMMERCIAL SITE INTO A MEANINGFUL WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT.

AS A SEAMLESS EXTENSION OF THE ESTABLISHED CAMPUS, THIS PHASE REINFORCES VILLAGE 15’S POSITION AS A PREMIER CORPORATE DESTINATION IN SUMMERLIN, ONE SHAPED AS MUCH BY EXPERIENCE AND IDENTITY AS BY ACCESS AND EFFICIENCY.

THE UNLV HARRY REID RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGY PARK

RETAINED BY UNLV’S

RESEARCH FOUNDATION IN EARLY 2017, THE GARDNER COMPANY ASSUMED THE ROLE OF MASTER DEVELOPER FOR WHAT WOULD BECOME THE 122-ACRE HARRY REID RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY PARK, A LONG-RANGE INITIATIVE INTENDED TO REDEFINE SOUTHERN NEVADA’S RELATIONSHIP TO RESEARCH, INNOVATION, AND ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION. EV&A WAS COMMISSIONED TO ESTABLISH THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE CAMPUS AND TO DESIGN THE FIRST OF MORE THAN A DOZEN TECHNOLOGY BUILDINGS, COLLECTIVELY ENVISIONED TO TOTAL 1.5 MILLION SQUARE FEET UPON FULL BUILD-OUT. FROM ITS INCEPTION, THE PROJECT WAS CONCEIVED NOT MERELY AS A COLLECTION OF RESEARCH FACILITIES, BUT AS A COHESIVE, PLACEDRIVEN ENVIRONMENT CAPABLE OF FOSTERING COLLABORATION BETWEEN ACADEMIA, INDUSTRY, AND EMERGING ENTERPRISES.

UNLV - TECH PARK ONE LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

AT THE CORE OF EV&A’S PLANNING STRATEGY IS A COMMITMENT TO PLACEMAKING AT A CAMPUS SCALE. THE MASTER PLAN ORGANIZES DEVELOPMENT AROUND A NETWORK OF WALKABLE OPEN SPACES, SHARED AMENITIES, AND FLEXIBLE BUILDING PARCELS THAT ENCOURAGE INTERACTION ACROSS DISCIPLINES AND TENANTS.

RATHER THAN ADOPTING THE ISOLATED TYPOLOGIES TYPICAL OF SUBURBAN RESEARCH PARKS, THE DESIGN ESTABLISHES A CONNECTIVE FRAMEWORK, ONE THAT PRIORITIZES PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT, SOCIAL EXCHANGE, AND VISIBILITY BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR WORK ENVIRONMENTS. LANDSCAPE, ARCHITECTURE, AND INFRASTRUCTURE ARE TREATED AS EQUAL CONTRIBUTORS TO A SHARED IDENTITY, SETTING THE STAGE FOR A RESEARCH COMMUNITY THAT GROWS INCREMENTALLY WHILE MAINTAINING COHERENCE.

THE FIRST REALIZED EXPRESSION OF THIS VISION IS TECH PARK ONE, COMPLETED IN EARLY 2019. RISING FOUR STORIES AND ENCOMPASSING 120,000 SQUARE FEET OF DEDICATED TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH SPACE, THE MULTI-TENANT FACILITY SERVES AS BOTH THE FUNCTIONAL AND SYMBOLIC ANCHOR OF THE PARK’S INITIAL PHASE. HOUSING UNLV’S BLACK FIRE INNOVATION LABS, THE BUILDING ESTABLISHES A BENCHMARK FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT— DEMONSTRATING HOW ARCHITECTURAL CLARITY, FLEXIBILITY, AND MATERIAL RIGOR CAN SUPPORT RAPIDLY EVOLVING RESEARCH AND BUSINESS NEEDS.

UNLV - TECH PARK ONE LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

ARCHITECTURALLY, TECH PARK ONE BALANCES A ROBUST STRUCTURAL FRAMEWORK WITH A REFINED MATERIAL PALETTE. A STEEL AND CONCRETE STRUCTURE IS ARTICULATED THROUGH EXPANSES OF GLASS, STONE, AND PRECAST CONCRETE PANELS, LENDING THE BUILDING A CONTEMPORARY PRESENCE WHILE REINFORCING DURABILITY AND ADAPTABILITY. TRANSPARENCY AT KEY AREAS UNDERSCORES THE BUILDING’S COLLABORATIVE ETHOS, VISUALLY CONNECTING RESEARCH ACTIVITY TO SHARED SPACES AND THE BROADER CAMPUS LANDSCAPE.

EQUALLY CENTRAL TO THE PROJECT’S PLACEMAKING AGENDA IS THE INTEGRATION OF AMENITIES THAT EXTEND THE WORKPLACE BEYOND THE LABORATORY AND OFFICE. INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTS ARE SUPPORTED BY STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGIES, WHILE A SERIES OF COMMUNAL AMENITIES ENCOURAGES DAILY INTERACTION AND WELL-BEING. A HALF-SIZED BASKETBALL COURT, OUTDOOR SEATING AREAS, AND INFORMAL GATHERING SPACES PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR RECREATION AND SPONTANEOUS EXCHANGE. OUTDOOR TECHNOLOGY HUBS BLUR THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN WORK AND LANDSCAPE, ENABLING PRODUCTIVITY TO SPILL INTO SHADED EXTERIOR ZONES.

LUSH, CAREFULLY CONSIDERED LANDSCAPING FURTHER REINFORCES THE CAMPUS AS A DESTINATION RATHER THAN A CORRIDOR. THESE OUTDOOR SPACES ARE NOT RESIDUAL, BUT INTENTIONALLY PROGRAMMED, OFFERING EMPLOYEES AND VISITORS MOMENTS OF PAUSE, CONNECTION, AND RESPITE WITHIN A RESEARCH-DRIVEN SETTING. COLLECTIVELY, THEY ESTABLISH A SOCIAL FRAMEWORK THAT SUPPORTS INNOVATION AS A HUMAN ENDEAVOR, GROUNDED IN COMMUNITY AND SHARED EXPERIENCE.

STRATEGICALLY LOCATED WITHIN ONE OF SOUTHERN NEVADA’S MOST DESIRABLE GROWTH AREAS, THE HARRY REID RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY PARK POSITIONS LAS VEGAS AS A COMPETITIVE HUB FOR ADVANCED RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY-BASED ENTERPRISE. THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN GARDNER AND UNLV, THE PARK ADVANCES A VISION THAT EXTENDS BEYOND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT, LEVERAGING ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING AS TOOLS FOR ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION, INSTITUTIONAL COLLABORATION, AND LONG-TERM REGIONAL RESILIENCE. AS FUTURE PHASES UNFOLD, THE CAMPUS IS POISED TO EVOLVE AS A LIVING FRAMEWORK FOR INNOVATION, ANCHORED BY PLACE, PEOPLE, AND PURPOSE.

LAS VEGAS EXPO AT WORLD MARKET CENTER

AT THE NORTHERN

EDGE OF DOWNTOWN, WHERE THE LAS VEGAS SKYLINE GIVES WAY TO THE DESERT HORIZON, THE NEXT PHASE OF THE WORLD MARKET CENTER EMERGES NOT MERELY AS AN EXPANSION, BUT AS AN ACT OF CIVIC STITCHING, TRANSFORMING A SUCCESSFUL TRADE COMPLEX INTO A COHESIVE URBAN DESTINATION. COMMISSIONED IN EARLY 2016 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS, EV&A WAS TASKED WITH ADDING MORE THAN 330,000 SQUARE FEET OF EXHIBITION AND CONFERENCE FACILITIES TO A CAMPUS THAT ALREADY COMPRISED SIX MILLION SQUARE FEET OF PERMANENT SHOWROOM SPACE.

THE EXPO @ WORLD MARKET CENTER LAS

VEGAS,

NEVADA

THE AMBITION, HOWEVER, EXTENDED WELL BEYOND SQUARE FOOTAGE. THE CHALLENGE WAS ONE OF PLACE-MAKING: HOW TO CONVERT A CONSTELLATION OF LARGE-FORMAT STRUCTURES INTO A LEGIBLE, INTERCONNECTED ENVIRONMENT THAT FOSTERS ENCOUNTER, EXCHANGE, AND IDENTITY.

THE NEW LAS VEGAS EXPO @ WORLD MARKET CENTER DOES PRECISELY THAT. RATHER THAN FUNCTIONING AS AN ISOLATED HALL APPENDED TO THE EXISTING TOWERS, THE EXPANSION COMPLETES THE SPATIAL LOGIC OF THE CAMPUS. IT STRENGTHENS PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS, CLARIFIES POINTS OF ARRIVAL, AND ACTIVATES THE GROUND PLANE WITH SHADED PROMENADES AND PLAZAS THAT MEDIATE BETWEEN MONUMENTAL SCALE AND HUMAN EXPERIENCE. THE ARCHITECTURE OPERATES AS BOTH INFRASTRUCTURE AND INVITATION.

THE DESIGN REINFORCES THE CAMPUS’S ESTABLISHED MATERIAL LANGUAGE, GLASS CURTAINWALL, STONE, AND METAL PANELS, WHILE INTRODUCING A REFINED HORIZONTALITY THAT ANCHORS THE COMPOSITION AT STREET LEVEL. GENEROUS EXPANSES OF GLAZING DISSOLVE THE THRESHOLD BETWEEN INTERIOR EXHIBITION HALLS AND EXTERIOR GATHERING SPACES, REVEALING ILLUMINATED STRUCTURAL FRAMES AND ANIMATED INTERIORS AFTER DUSK. BY NIGHT, THE BUILDING READS AS A LANTERN WITHIN THE DISTRICT, EXTENDING THE ENERGY OF THE MARKET INTO THE PUBLIC REALM.

CENTRAL TO THE PROJECT IS ITS REDEFINITION OF CIRCULATION. THE EXPANSION ORGANIZES A SEAMLESS FLOW BETWEEN PERMANENT SHOWROOMS AND TEMPORARY EXHIBIT HALLS, ALLOWING VISITORS TO MOVE INTUITIVELY ACROSS THE CAMPUS. BROAD CONCOURSES AND PRE-FUNCTION SPACES ARE CONCEIVED AS SOCIAL COMMONS, PLACES FOR IMPROMPTU MEETINGS, PRODUCT LAUNCHES, AND INFORMAL NETWORKING. RATHER THAN TREATING CIRCULATION AS RESIDUAL SPACE, THE DESIGN ELEVATES IT INTO AN ACTIVE CIVIC SPINE.

THE EXPO @ WORLD MARKET CENTER LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

THE EXTERIOR PLAZAS FURTHER AMPLIFY THIS AMBITION. LINED WITH PALM ALLEES, SHADED SEATING AREAS, AND CAREFULLY SCALED LIGHTING, THE OPEN SPACES TEMPER THE DESERT CLIMATE WHILE FRAMING VIEWS OF THE SURROUNDING TOWERS. THESE SPACES ARE NOT ORNAMENTAL; THEY ARE THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE THAT BINDS THE CAMPUS TOGETHER, OFFERING MOMENTS OF PAUSE WITHIN THE INTENSITY OF TRADE EVENTS. THE INTERPLAY OF SHADOW, MATERIAL TEXTURE, AND EVENING ILLUMINATION CREATES A LAYERED ENVIRONMENT THAT IS EQUALLY COMPELLING DURING MARKET PEAKS AND QUIETER OFF-SEASON MONTHS.

THIS PHASE ALSO ADVANCES THE LONG-TERM MASTER PLAN VISION: A FULLY INTEGRATED, HIGH-RISE CAMPUS ULTIMATELY EXCEEDING 12 MILLION SQUARE FEET. IN THIS CONTEXT, THE EXPO BUILDING ACTS AS BOTH CATALYST AND HINGE, STRENGTHENING THE CAMPUS CORE WHILE ACCOMMODATING FUTURE GROWTH. ITS FLEXIBILITY SUPPORTS A BROAD SPECTRUM OF USES, FROM INTERNATIONAL TRADE SHOWS TO CORPORATE CONFERENCES AND CULTURAL EVENTS, REINFORCING THE WORLD MARKET CENTER’S EVOLUTION INTO A YEAR-ROUND RESOURCE FOR THE GLOBAL DESIGN INDUSTRY. MORE THAN AN EXPANSION, THE PROJECT REFRAMES THE WORLD MARKET CENTER AS AN URBAN DISTRICT, AN ECOSYSTEM WHERE COMMERCE, CREATIVITY, AND CIVIC LIFE INTERSECT. BY PRIORITIZING CONNECTIVITY, SPATIAL CLARITY, AND THE ACTIVATION OF OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS, EV&A TRANSFORMS A COLLECTION OF LARGE-SCALE FACILITIES INTO A COHERENT PLACE WITH IDENTITY AND PRESENCE.

IN A CITY DEFINED BY SPECTACLE, THE ACHIEVEMENT HERE IS MEASURED IN CONTINUITY AND COHESION. THE NEW EXPO BUILDING DOES NOT COMPETE WITH THE SKYLINE; IT COMPLETES IT—SOLIDIFYING THE WORLD MARKET CENTER’S ROLE NOT ONLY AS THE LARGEST HOME FURNISHINGS AND CONVENTION COMPLEX IN THE WEST, BUT AS A THOUGHTFULLY COMPOSED DESTINATION WITHIN THE EVOLVING FABRIC OF LAS VEGAS.

T-MOBILE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER LAS VEGAS, NV

SET WITHIN THE

EVOLVING INNOVATION CORRIDOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS TECH PARK, THE T-MOBILE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER REDEFINES THE CONTEMPORARY WORKPLACE AS A DELIBERATE ACT OF PLACE-MAKING—AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE CORPORATE IDENTITY, HUMAN EXPERIENCE, AND DESERT CONTEXT CONVERGE INTO A COHESIVE SPATIAL NARRATIVE. RATHER THAN A SINGULAR BUILDING, THE PROJECT IS CONCEIVED AS A LAYERED ECOSYSTEM: AN INTERCONNECTED SERIES OF INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ROOMS THAT FOSTER COMMUNITY,

T-MOBILE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER

LAS VEGAS, NV

WELL-BEING, AND PERFORMANCE IN EQUAL MEASURE. AT ITS CORE, THE DESIGN RESISTS THE ANONYMITY TYPICAL OF LARGE-SCALE CALL CENTERS. INSTEAD, IT ESTABLISHES A LEGIBLE AND ENGAGING CAMPUS PRESENCE ANCHORED BY A CLEARLY ARTICULATED ENTRY SEQUENCE. THE ARRIVAL EXPERIENCE, MARKED BY A LUMINOUS, BRANDED FAÇADE AND SHADED APPROACH—TRANSITIONS SEAMLESSLY INTO A GENEROUS INTERIOR CONCOURSE.

THIS CENTRAL SPINE FUNCTIONS LESS AS A CORRIDOR AND MORE AS AN INTERNAL STREETSCAPE, ACTIVATING THE BUILDING WITH MOMENTS OF PAUSE, INTERACTION, AND ORIENTATION. PROGRAMMATIC ELEMENTS SUCH AS TRAINING SUITES, COLLABORATION ZONES, AND SOCIAL HUBS ARE CAREFULLY DISTRIBUTED ALONG THIS AXIS, CREATING A RHYTHM OF ACTIVITY THAT MIRRORS THE CADENCE OF A SMALL URBAN DISTRICT.

THE PLANNING STRATEGY REINFORCES THIS SENSE OF PLACE THROUGH A FINELY GRAINED MIX OF ENVIRONMENTS. OPEN WORK “PODS” ARE BALANCED WITH A DIVERSE ARRAY OF SUPPORT SPACES— QUIET ROOMS, HUDDLE AREAS, WELLNESS SUITES, AND A THEATER—ENSURING THAT EMPLOYEES CAN NAVIGATE BETWEEN FOCUS AND COLLABORATION WITH EASE.

AMENITIES SUCH AS A FITNESS CENTER, CYBER CAFÉ, AND MICRO-MARKET ARE NOT TREATED AS ANCILLARY, BUT AS INTEGRAL COMPONENTS OF A HOLISTIC WORKPLACE EXPERIENCE. THESE SPACES CULTIVATE A CULTURE OF ENGAGEMENT, ENCOURAGING INFORMAL ENCOUNTERS AND REINFORCING A SENSE OF BELONGING.

EQUALLY CRITICAL TO THE PROJECT’S PLACEMAKING AMBITION IS ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE OUTDOORS. IN RESPONSE TO THE MOJAVE DESERT CLIMATE, EXTERIOR ENVIRONMENTS ARE CRAFTED AS PURPOSEFUL EXTENSIONS OF THE INTERIOR PROGRAM. SHADED PATIOS, TENSILE CANOPIES, AND STRATEGICALLY PLACED LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS MITIGATE HEAT WHILE CREATING COMFORTABLE MICROCLIMATES FOR GATHERING AND RESPITE.

THE TERRACE, ANIMATED BY FIRE FEATURES, COMMUNAL SEATING, AND RECREATION AREAS—BECOMES A SOCIAL CONDENSER, OFFERING PANORAMIC VIEWS WHILE REINFORCING THE PROJECT’S EMPHASIS ON CONNECTION AND WELL-BEING.

MATERIALLY, THE BUILDING EXPRESSES A DIALOGUE BETWEEN DURABILITY AND REFINEMENT. A RESTRAINED PALETTE OF METAL PANELS, GLASS, AND CONCRETE ESTABLISHES A CONTEMPORARY FRAMEWORK, WHILE INTEGRATED LIGHTING AND BRANDED ELEMENTS INTRODUCE MOMENTS OF VIBRANCY AND IDENTITY. AT DUSK, THE ARCHITECTURE TRANSFORMS INTO A LUMINOUS BEACON WITHIN THE TECH PARK, ITS ILLUMINATED INTERIORS AND ACCENT LIGHTING PROJECTING ENERGY OUTWARD AND

REINFORCING ITS ROLE AS A HUB OF ACTIVITY. ULTIMATELY, THE T-MOBILE CARE CENTER TRANSCENDS ITS PROGRAMMATIC REQUIREMENTS TO BECOME A MODEL FOR WORKPLACE DESIGN IN THE 21ST CENTURY.

BY PRIORITIZING PLACE-MAKING AS ITS CENTRAL AMBITION, THE PROJECT CULTIVATES AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS NOT ONLY EFFICIENT AND ADAPTABLE, BUT ALSO DEEPLY HUMAN—AN ARCHITECTURE THAT SUPPORTS CONNECTION, INSPIRES ENGAGEMENT, AND ANCHORS A GROWING DISTRICT IN A MEANINGFUL SENSE OF PLACE.

PARTING SEAS MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING LAS VEGAS, NV

CONCEIVED AS A CATALYST FOR PLACEMAKING WITHIN THE EVOLVING LAS VEGAS MEDICAL DISTRICT, THE PROPOSED MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING AND PARKING STRUCTURE AT SHADOW LANE AND WELLNESS WAY SEEKS TO REDEFINE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTHCARE ARCHITECTURE, URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE PUBLIC REALM. MORE THAN A FUNCTIONAL ADDITION TO THE DISTRICT, THE PROJECT IS ENVISIONED AS A COHESIVE, PEDESTRIANORIENTED CAMPUS. ONE THAT REINFORCES IDENTITY, FOSTERS CONNECTIVITY, AND ELEVATES THE EVERYDAY EXPERIENCE OF PATIENTS, PRACTITIONERS, AND VISITORS ALIKE.

PARTING SEAS MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

THE DEVELOPMENT COMPRISES A FOUR-STORY, 88,000 SF MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING PAIRED WITH A FIVE-LEVEL PARKING STRUCTURE ACCOMMODATING APPROXIMATELY 384 VEHICLES. TOGETHER, THE TWO COMPONENTS ARE CAREFULLY ORCHESTRATED TO OPERATE NOT AS ISOLATED ELEMENTS, BUT AS AN INTEGRATED ARCHITECTURAL ENSEMBLE. A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE SPANNING BETWEEN THE SECOND LEVELS OF THE OFFICE BUILDING AND PARKING STRUCTURE BECOMES BOTH A PRACTICAL CONNECTOR AND A SYMBOLIC GESTURE—PHYSICALLY LINKING CARE, CONVENIENCE, AND COMMUNITY WHILE REINFORCING A SENSE OF ARRIVAL AND ORIENTATION WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING IS ENVISIONED AS A REFINED YET APPROACHABLE PRESENCE, ARTICULATED WITH PRECISELY PROPORTIONED PUNCHED OPENINGS. THIS RESTRAINED ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE BALANCES DURABILITY AND ELEGANCE, WHILE ALLOWING THE FAÇADE TO RESPOND THOUGHTFULLY TO SCALE, DAYLIGHT, AND THE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE AT GRADE. A CENTRALIZED MAIN ENTRY LOBBY ANCHORS THE COMPOSITION, SERVING AS A WELCOMING FOCAL POINT THAT EMPHASIZES CLARITY OF ACCESS AND INTUITIVE WAYFINDING, AN ESSENTIAL CONSIDERATION IN HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENTS.

PARTING SEAS MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

TRANSPARENT GLAZING AT THE GROUND LEVEL FURTHER BLURS THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, LENDING WARMTH AND VISUAL PERMEABILITY TO THE PUBLIC-FACING EDGES OF THE BUILDING.

EQUALLY INTEGRAL TO THE PROJECT’S PLACEMAKING STRATEGY IS THE PARKING STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY ELEVATED BEYOND ITS UTILITARIAN ROLE. RATHER THAN RECEDING INTO THE BACKGROUND, THE GARAGE ASSERTS ITSELF AS A CIVIC CONTRIBUTOR, EMPLOYING PATTERNED METAL SCREENING AND SCULPTURAL FORM TO CREATE A DYNAMIC FAÇADE THAT ANIMATES THE STREET AND REFLECTS THE PROGRESSIVE CHARACTER OF THE MEDICAL DISTRICT.

THE PERFORATED SKIN NOT ONLY PROVIDES SHADE AND VENTILATION APPROPRIATE TO THE DESERT CLIMATE, BUT ALSO TRANSFORMS THE STRUCTURE INTO A RECOGNIZABLE LANDMARK, ONE THAT SIGNALS ARRIVAL WHILE SOFTENING THE VISUAL IMPACT OF PARKING THROUGH TEXTURE, LIGHT, AND SHADOW.

AT THE GROUND PLANE, LANDSCAPE AND ARCHITECTURE WORK IN TANDEM TO CULTIVATE A HUMANE AND WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT. NATIVE AND ADAPTIVE PLANTINGS FRAME PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS, SOFTEN BUILDING EDGES, AND REINFORCE THE SITE’S DESERT CONTEXT, WHILE SHADED WALKWAYS AND THOUGHTFULLY SCALED OUTDOOR SPACES INVITE MOMENTS OF PAUSE AND TRANSITION. THESE ELEMENTS COLLECTIVELY SUPPORT A

WALKABLE, PEOPLE-CENTERED CAMPUS, AN INCREASINGLY VITAL QUALITY IN MEDICAL DISTRICTS TRADITIONALLY DOMINATED BY VEHICULAR PRIORITIES.

ULTIMATELY, THE PROJECT ASPIRES TO DO MORE THAN MEET PROGRAMMATIC REQUIREMENTS. IT POSITIONS ARCHITECTURE AS A CONNECTIVE TISSUE, BETWEEN BUILDINGS, BETWEEN PEOPLE, AND BETWEEN THE EVOLVING IDENTITY OF THE LAS VEGAS MEDICAL

DISTRICT AND THE BROADER URBAN FABRIC. THROUGH ITS EMPHASIS ON CLARITY, CONNECTIVITY, AND CHARACTER, THE DEVELOPMENT ESTABLISHES A NEW BENCHMARK FOR HEALTHCARE-ADJACENT ARCHITECTURE: ONE WHERE INFRASTRUCTURE AND ARCHITECTURE COLLABORATE TO CREATE A MEANINGFUL, MEMORABLE PLACE.

SYMPHONY PARK MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING LAS VEGAS, NV

SET AT THE EASTERN

THRESHOLD OF SYMPHONY PARK, WHERE THE CULTURAL DISTRICT MEETS THE INFRASTRUCTURAL EDGE OF DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS, THE SYMPHONY PARK MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING IS CONCEIVED AS MORE THAN A HEALTHCARE FACILITY, IT IS AN URBAN MARKER AND A CIVIC GESTURE. POSITIONED AT THE INTERSECTION OF BONNEVILLE AVENUE AND PROMENADE PLACE, THE FOUR-STORY, 100,000-SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING ANCHORS A PIVOTAL SITE WITHIN ONE

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

OF THE CITY’S MOST AMBITIOUS MASTERPLANNED DISTRICTS, REINFORCING THE AREA’S EVOLUTION FROM CULTURAL ENCLAVE TO FULLY INTEGRATED URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD.

FROM ITS INCEPTION, THE PROJECT’S CENTRAL AMBITION HAS BEEN PLACEMAKING. RATHER THAN TREATING THE SITE AS A DISCRETE PARCEL, THE DESIGN EXTENDS THE PUBLIC REALM OF SYMPHONY PARK, STITCHING TOGETHER PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT, LANDSCAPED EDGES, AND ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY INTO A COHESIVE URBAN COMPOSITION.

EV&A’S MASTER PLAN FOR THE FULL 1.4ACRE DEVELOPMENT ANTICIPATES NOT ONLY THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT BUT ALSO ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS’ ADJACENT PARKING COMPONENT, ENSURING THAT CIRCULATION, ACCESS, AND OPEN SPACE OPERATE AS A UNIFIED ENVIRONMENT RATHER THAN FRAGMENTED ELEMENTS.

ARCHITECTURALLY, THE BUILDING EMPLOYS A DISCIPLINED SYSTEM OF FOURSTORY CONCRETE TILT PANELS PUNCTUATED BY CAREFULLY PROPORTIONED PUNCHED WINDOWS. THIS RESTRAINED, RHYTHMIC FAÇADE ESTABLISHES A QUIET CIVIC PRESENCE, ONE THAT ALIGNS WITH THE INSTITUTIONAL CHARACTER OF SYMPHONY PARK’S NEIGHBORING CULTURAL ANCHORS. YET THE PROJECT RESISTS NEUTRALITY. AT THE PRIMARY VERTICAL CIRCULATION CORE, A VIBRANT CHROMATIC TOWER, SHIFTING FROM DEEP MAGENTA TO WARM AMBER—ANNOUNCES THE MAIN ENTRY AND INTRODUCES A SYMPHONY PARK MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING

SYMPHONY PARK MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

DISTINCTLY LAS VEGAS SENSIBILITY. THE COLOR GRADIENT, VISIBLE FROM MULTIPLE VANTAGE POINTS, TRANSFORMS THE STAIR AND LOBBY ZONE INTO A BEACON, REINFORCING ORIENTATION WHILE HUMANIZING THE BUILDING’S SCALE.

AT THE BUILDING’S PROMINENT CORNER, A SCULPTURAL ILLUMINATED SCREEN OF VERTICAL FINS AMPLIFIES THIS GESTURE. DURING THE DAY, THE FINS READ AS LAYERED TEXTURE, MODULATING DESERT LIGHT AND CASTING SHIFTING SHADOWS ACROSS THE FAÇADE. AT DUSK, THE ASSEMBLY BECOMES LANTERN-LIKE, AN URBAN SIGNAL VISIBLE FROM THE FREEWAY AND SURROUNDING DISTRICT. THIS KINETIC EDGE CONDITION ELEVATES WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A MONOLITHIC MASS INTO A DYNAMIC PARTICIPANT IN THE SKYLINE.

THE CENTRAL ENTRY LOBBY IS CONCEIVED AS A TRANSPARENT THRESHOLD, FRAMED BY A PORTE-COCHÈRE THAT EXTENDS WELCOME AND SHADE TO ARRIVING PATIENTS AND VISITORS. GENEROUS GLAZING AT GRADE DISSOLVES THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, ALLOWING WAITING AREAS AND COLLABORATIVE SPACES TO ANIMATE THE STREET. TWO PORTE-COCHÈRES— EAST AND WEST—BALANCE FUNCTIONAL NECESSITY WITH CIVIC PRESENCE, CAREFULLY INTEGRATED TO MAINTAIN THE BUILDING’S ARCHITECTURAL CLARITY WHILE ACCOMMODATING PATIENT DROPOFF AND SERVICE ACCESS.

EQUALLY CRITICAL TO THE PLACEMAKING STRATEGY IS THE LANDSCAPE DESIGN. ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE, A POCKET PARK INTRODUCES A SCALED MOMENT OF RESPITE WITHIN THE URBAN GRID. DESERT-ADAPTED PLANTINGS, SCULPTURAL BOULDERS, AND SHADED SEATING ESTABLISH A LAYERED GROUND PLANE THAT SOFTENS THE BUILDING’S PERIMETER AND REINFORCES WALKABILITY. NATIVE AND DROUGHT-TOLERANT SPE -

CIES ROOT THE PROJECT FIRMLY WITHIN ITS MOJAVE CONTEXT WHILE REDUCING LONG-TERM WATER DEMAND. THE LANDSCAPE DOES NOT MERELY DECORATE THE SITE—IT EXTENDS SYMPHONY PARK’S PEDESTRIAN PROMENADE, ENCOURAGING MOVEMENT BETWEEN CULTURAL VENUES, OFFICE USES, AND CIVIC SPACES. WHILE THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS WILL DEVELOP THE PARKING AREA TO THE EAST, THE PROJECT’S MASTER PLAN ENSURES

THAT VEHICULAR INFRASTRUCTURE REMAINS SUBORDINATE TO PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE. LOADING ZONES, GENERATOR YARDS, AND SERVICE ENCLOSURES ARE CAREFULLY SCREENED AND CONSOLIDATED TO PRESERVE THE CONTINUITY OF THE PUBLIC EDGE. THE RESULT IS A SITE THAT PRIORITIZES CLARITY, SAFETY, AND LEGIBILITY—ESSENTIAL QUALITIES IN HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENTS—WITHOUT SACRIFICING URBAN VITALITY.

SYMPHONY PARK MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

IN A DISTRICT DEFINED BY PERFORMANCE HALLS, MUSEUMS, AND CIVIC ARCHITECTURE, THE SYMPHONY PARK MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING ASSUMES A COMPLEMENTARY YET DISTINCT ROLE. IT INTRODUCES HEALTHCARE AS AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF A MIXED-USE CULTURAL NEIGHBORHOOD, REINFORCING THE IDEA THAT CITIES THRIVE WHEN ESSENTIAL SERVICES ARE EMBEDDED WITHIN ACTIVE, WALKABLE DISTRICTS. THROUGH MEASURED MASSING, EXPRESSIVE COLOR, AND A CAREFULLY CRAFTED PUBLIC REALM, THE BUILDING CONTRIBUTES TO SYMPHONY PARK NOT JUST AS TENANT SPACE, BUT AS PLACE.

HERE, INFRASTRUCTURE AND IDENTITY CONVERGE. THE PROJECT DEMONSTRATES HOW A MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING, OFTEN RELEGATED TO PERIPHERAL SITES, CAN INSTEAD BECOME AN ARCHITECTURAL ANCHOR, STRENGTHENING DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS’ URBAN FABRIC WHILE OFFERING A HUMANE, WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT FOR CARE.

THATCHER CHEMICAL COMPANY’S CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS

SIGNIFICANTLY

EXPANDING THEIR NEVADA OPERATIONS, THATCHER CHEMICAL ADDED MORE THAN 50,000 SF OF NEW ADMINISTRATIVE, MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES TO THEIR EXISTING SEVEN ACRE MASTER PLANNED CAMPUS. FACED WITH A UTILITARIAN FACILITY PROGRAM, THE DESIGN TEAM COMPOSED A BOLD AND MODERN NEW LOOK FOR THE COMPANY THAT ALL FUTURE PROJECTS FOR THE CHEMICAL GIANT WILL BE BASED.

THATCHER CHEMICAL HENDERSON, NEVADA

POSITIONED ON NEARLY SEVEN ACRES AT THE STRATEGIC JUNCTION OF I-215 AND I-11, THATCHER CHEMICAL EXPANDED ITS PRESENCE WITH A CUTTING-EDGE CAMPUS NEAR 90 BUSINESS CENTER STREET IN HENDERSON, NEVADA. AS THE LEADING CHEMICAL MANUFACTURER AND DISTRIBUTOR IN UTAH, THATCHER COMPANY HAS BUILT A FORMIDABLE REPUTATION WITH OPERATIONS SPANNING THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.

IN EARLY 2012, EV&A WAS ENTRUSTED WITH DESIGNING THE NEW HENDERSON CAMPUS, SETTING THE STAGE FOR A TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT THAT WOULD REDEFINE THE COMPANY’S PUBLIC IMAGE. COMPLETED IN 2015 BY MARTIN-HARRIS CONSTRUCTION, THE FACILITY SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATES FUNCTIONALITY WITH FORWARD-THINKING DESIGN. THE EV&A TEAM BROUGHT A BOLD VISION TO LIFE, CRAFTING AN INNOVATIVE AND DYNAMIC AESTHETIC THAT NOT ONLY ENHANCES THATCHER’S CORPORATE IDENTITY BUT ALSO INSTILLS A RENEWED SENSE OF PRIDE AND PRESENCE WITHIN HENDERSON’S WELLESTABLISHED INDUSTRIAL LANDSCAPE.

REPUBLIC SERVICES MATERIAL RECOVERY CENTER

TASKED WITH THE JOB OF PROCESSING 140,000 TONS OF RECYCLABLE WASTE ANNUALLY, REPUBLIC SERVICES MATERIAL RECOVERY CENTER IN NORTH LAS VEGAS MEETS THE CITY’S GOAL OF LESSENING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS BY PLACING WASTE PROCESSING IN A CENTRAL LOCATION CONVENIENT TO THE MAJORITY OF THE CITY’S RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES. SITED ADJACENT TO THEIR EXISTING TRANSFER STATION, THIS 100,000 SQUARE FOOT STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY IS ONE THE LARGEST OF ITS KIND IN NORTH AMERICA.

REPUBLIC SERVICES MATERIAL RECOVERY CENTER NORTH LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

THE REPUBLIC SERVICES MATERIALS RECOVERY CENTER IS MORE THAN JUST A RECYCLING FACILITY—IT IS A FORWARDTHINKING HUB FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION. AT ITS CORE IS A TWO-STORY, 6,500-SQUAREFOOT COMMONS BUILDING, THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED TO HOUSE ADMINISTRATIVE AND DISPATCH OPERATIONS WHILE ALSO SERVING AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOUCHPOINT FOR THE COMMUNITY. A STATE-OF-THE-ART LEARNING CENTER FEATURES EXPANSIVE FLOOR-TO-CEILING VISION PANELS, PROVIDING VISITING SCHOOLCHILDREN AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH AN IMMERSIVE VIEW OF THE INTRICATE RECYCLING PROCESS IN ACTION, FOSTERING AWARENESS AND INSPIRING FUTURE GENERATIONS.

WITH AN UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY, THE FACILITY’S MAIN STRUCTURE IS ANCHORED BY DURABLE, SITECAST CONCRETE PANELS ENGINEERED FOR LONGEVITY AND MINIMAL MAINTENANCE. RISING ABOVE, THE UPPER PORTION OF THE BUILDING IS COMPOSED OF TRANSLUCENT PANELS THAT FLOOD THE INTERIOR WITH NATURAL DAYLIGHT, REDUCING THE NEED FOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING AND ENHANCING ENERGY EFFICIENCY.

A KEY HIGHLIGHT OF THE PROJECT IS ITS EXPANSIVE ARRAY OF PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR PANELS, STRATEGICALLY COVERING MORE THAN HALF OF THE BUILDING’S ROOF AREA. THIS RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEM NOT ONLY POWERS MUCH OF THE FACILITY’S OPERATIONS BUT ALSO CONTRIBUTES EXCESS ENERGY BACK TO THE GRID, REINFORCING REPUBLIC SERVICES’ DEDICATION TO REDUCING ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT.

BY SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATING SUSTAINABILITY WITH FUNCTIONALITY, THE REPUBLIC SERVICES MATERIALS RECOVERY CENTER IS SETTING A NEW STANDARD FOR RESPONSIBLE DESIGN AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, PROVING THAT INNOVATION AND ECO-CONSCIOUSNESS CAN GO HAND IN HAND TO BUILD A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR ALL.

HEARST HEALTH

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

THE INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE BALANCES EXECUTIVE REFINEMENT WITH PURPOSEFUL UTILITY.

SITUATED IN THE HEART

OF LAS VEGAS, THE NEW HEADQUARTERS FOR JRS HOSPITALITY—VISIONARY DEVELOPERS

BEHIND SOME OF THE CITY’S MOST ICONIC DINING DESTINATIONS AND PR STEWARDS FOR HIGH-PROFILE ATHLETES—TRANSCENDS THE CONVENTIONAL CORPORATE MODEL, BLENDING LIFESTYLE, LEISURE, AND BRAND CULTURE INTO A SINGULAR SPATIAL EXPERIENCE.

THE INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE IS ANCHORED BY A RESTRAINED PALETTE OF SOFT GRAYS, PUNCTUATED WITH CAREFULLY CURATED BURSTS OF COLOR THAT LEND ENERGY WITHOUT OVERWHELMING THE SPACE.

ARCHWAY AESTHETICS

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

RICH WALNUT DETAILING LENDS WARMTH AND REFINEMENT TO CUSTOM MILLWORK, WALL TREATMENTS, AND CEILING INSTALLATIONS, UNIFYING THE INTERIORS THROUGH A SUBTLE MATERIAL LANGUAGE. THE THOUGHTFUL MODULATION OF CEILING HEIGHTS, COMBINED WITH INTEGRATED LIGHTING, ELEGANTLY GUIDES VISITORS THROUGH A SPACE DESIGNED FOR BOTH FLOW AND DISCOVERY.

AT THE HEART OF THE WORKPLACE LIES A FULLY FUNCTIONAL COMMERCIAL-GRADE KITCHEN— THE NUCLEUS FOR DAILY CHEFPREPARED MEALS, IMPROMPTU GATHERINGS, AND EVEN COMMUNAL BASEBALL WATCH PARTIES. HERE, WORK AND PLAY CONVERGE WITH INTENTION. ESCHEWING THE TRADITIONAL RECEPTION DESK, THE ENTRY SEQUENCE OPENS INTO A RESIDENTIALLY INSPIRED LOBBY, MORE LIVING ROOM THAN LOBBY,

FOSTERING AN IMMEDIATE SENSE OF HOSPITALITY. THE ADJACENT BALCONY, ACCESSED DIRECTLY FROM THE COMMUNAL KITCHEN, DEMOCRATIZES THE BEST VIEWS IN THE OFFICE—OFFERED EQUALLY TO STAFF AND GUESTS, UNDERSCORING THE COMPANY’S ETHOS OF SHARED EXPERIENCE AND ELEVATED LIVING.

ENT AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER & CLINIC

SURGERY CENTERS

CAN BE COMFORTABLE AND LESS STRESSFUL PLACES WHEN AMENITIES PROVIDED WITHIN ARE DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU FEEL RELAXED AND SAFE. A PATIENT’S STAY IS SINGLE IN ITS PURPOSE: GETTING YOU SAFELY BACK TO YOUR FAMILY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WITH THOUGHTFUL DESIGNS THAT FOCUS ON THE FAMILY, THIS NEW CLINIC AND SURGERY CENTER PROVIDES EVERY PATIENT WITH A RELAXED EXPERIENCE FROM THE MOMENT THEY CHECK IN UNTIL THE TIME COMES FOR THEM TO HEAD HOME TO BE WITH THEIR FAMILIES.

ENT AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

COMPLETED IN LATE 2014 IN LAS VEGAS, THIS STATEOF-THE-ART CLINIC AND SURGERY CENTER IS ONE OF THE MOST ADVANCED SURGERY CENTERS IN LAS VEGAS BOASTING THREE CLASS “A” OPERATING ROOMS. THE STRIKINGLY MODERN FACILITY PROVIDES THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF SPECIALIZED MEDICAL AND SURGICAL NEEDS, ALL WITHIN A FAMILY-CENTERED ENVIRONMENT. EXTERIORS

FEATURE HI-PERFORMANCE GLAZING, ROOF TOP SKY-LIGHTS, METAL PANELS AND LOCALLY QUARRIED SOUTHWEST STACKED STONE.

LIKE AN OPEN AND WELCOMING ARM, THE STACKED STONE-CLAD WALL REACHES OUT TO VISITORS AND APPROACHING PATIENTS IMMEDIATELY PROVIDING A SENSE OF ENTRY AND DIRECTION TO THE MAIN LOBBY. THE NORTH FACING GLAZED OPENING BATHE EACH OF THE TWO LOBBIES WITH EVEN AND CONSTANT NATURAL LIGHT FOR THOSE WAITING TO SEE THE PHYSICIANS. THE ORNAMENTAL IRON PERGOLA PROVIDES WELCOME SHADE FROM THE RELENTLESS DESERT SUN WHILE PROVIDING A LIGHT TOUCH OF HUMAN SCALE AND ENCLOSURE.

UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER HOSPITAL EXPANSION LAS VEGAS, NV

SET AGAINST THE

EVOLVING MEDICAL CORRIDOR ALONG WELLNESS WAY, THE EXPANSION OF UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER REPOSITIONS

THE REGION’S PRIMARY PUBLIC HOSPITAL AS BOTH CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND CIVIC ANCHOR—AN URBAN-SCALE ACT OF PLACE-MAKING THAT EXTENDS CARE BEYOND THE BUILDING AND INTO THE FABRIC OF THE CITY. CONCEIVED AS A HORIZONTAL EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING HOSPITAL, THE APPROXIMATELY 279,000 SF ADDITION CONSOLIDATES EMERGENCY, INTENSIVE, AND SPECIALTY

UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER LAS VEGAS, NV

CARE INTO A SINGLE, LEGIBLE FORM. YET THE PROJECT’S AMBITION IS NOT MERELY PROGRAMMATIC EFFICIENCY; RATHER, IT REFRAMES THE HOSPITAL AS A CONNECTED, HUMAN-CENTERED ENVIRONMENT, ONE THAT ORGANIZES COMPLEXITY THROUGH CLARITY, LIGHT, AND LANDSCAPE. IN DOING SO, THE DESIGN TRANSFORMS WHAT IS OFTEN AN INWARD-FACING TYPOLOGY INTO AN OUTWARD-LOOKING, PLACE-BASED INSTITUTION.

THE BUILDING’S STACKING STRATEGY— ANCHORED BY A HIGH-CAPACITY ADULT AND PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT GRADE AND RISING THROUGH LAYERS OF CRITICAL AND INTERMEDIATE CARE— ESTABLISHES A CLEAR HIERARCHY OF USE. BUT IT IS THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE BETWEEN THESE LAYERS THAT DEFINES THE PROJECT’S SPATIAL IDENTITY. A SERIES OF CAREFULLY ALIGNED CIRCULATION SPINES AND VERTICAL CORES LINK DIRECTLY TO THE EXISTING TRAUMA CENTER AND THE EXISTING HOSPITAL, CREATING A SEAMLESS CONTINUUM OF CARE WHILE MINIMIZING TRANSFER TIMES AND OPERATIONAL FRICTION. THIS INTEGRATION ALLOWS THE EXPANSION TO FUNCTION NOT AS AN APPENDAGE, BUT AS AN EXTENSION OF A LARGER MEDICAL ECOSYSTEM.

AT THE HEART OF THE DESIGN IS A COMMITMENT TO PLACE-MAKING THROUGH ORIENTATION AND EXPERIENCE. PUBLIC ENTRIES ARE EXPRESSED AS INTUITIVE THRESHOLDS—MOMENTS OF ARRIVAL THAT BALANCE URGENCY WITH CALM—WHILE INTERIOR PATHWAYS ARE ORGANIZED TO REDUCE COGNITIVE LOAD FOR PATIENTS

AND VISITORS NAVIGATING HIGH-STRESS ENVIRONMENTS. DAYLIGHT IS USED AS A PRIMARY ORDERING DEVICE: CLINICAL FLOORS ARE STRUCTURED TO MAXIMIZE PERIMETER ACCESS, ENSURING THAT PATIENT ROOMS, STAFF AREAS, AND WAITING SPACES BENEFIT FROM NATURAL LIGHT AND LONG-RANGE VIEWS ACROSS THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY. THIS EMPHASIS ON LIGHT CULMINATES IN THE INTEGRATION OF AN ELEVATED ROOF GARDEN THAT SERVES AS BOTH AMENITY AND THERAPEUTIC LANDSCAPE. POSITIONED WITHIN THE BUILDING’S VERTICAL SEQUENCE, THIS OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT OFFERS MOMENTS OF REPRIEVE FOR PATIENTS, FAMILIES, AND STAFF, AN ESSENTIAL COUNTERPOINT TO THE INTENSITY OF CLINICAL CARE. IN A DESERT CONTEXT, SUCH INTERVENTIONS TAKE ON ADDED SIGNIFICANCE, FRAMING LANDSCAPE NOT AS ORNAMENT, BUT AS INFRASTRUCTURE FOR WELL-BEING.

THE PROJECT’S EXTERIOR EXPRESSION REINFORCES THIS DUAL AMBITION OF PERFORMANCE AND IDENTITY. MASSING IS CAREFULLY MODULATED TO BREAK DOWN THE SCALE OF THE FACILITY WHILE MAINTAINING A STRONG CIVIC PRESENCE ALONG WELLNESS WAY. SHADING STRATEGIES AND FAÇADE ARTICULATION RESPOND DIRECTLY TO THE REGION’S EXTREME CLIMATE, REDUCING HEAT GAIN WHILE CREATING DEPTH AND SHADOW THAT ANIMATE THE BUILDING THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THESE ELEMENTS EXTEND THE ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE OF THE EXISTING CAMPUS WHILE ESTABLISHING A FORWARD-LOOKING IDENTITY ALIGNED WITH CONTEMPORARY HEALTHCARE DESIGN.

EQUALLY CRITICAL IS THE PROJECT’S ROLE WITHIN THE BROADER URBAN CONTEXT. AS UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER CONTINUES TO EXPAND, THE CAMPUS IS EMERGING AS A DEFINING NODE WITHIN THE CITY’S HEALTHCARE NETWORK.

THIS ADDITION ANTICIPATES FUTURE GROWTH, PROVIDING BOTH THE PHYSICAL CAPACITY AND ORGANIZATIONAL FRAMEWORK TO SUPPORT EVOLVING MODELS OF CARE, FROM EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO SPECIALIZED TREATMENT AND RESEARCH.

IN THIS SENSE, THE EXPANSION OPERATES ON MULTIPLE SCALES: AS A HIGHLY EFFICIENT CLINICAL ENVIRONMENT, AS A COHESIVE EXTENSION OF AN EXISTING CAMPUS, AND AS A CIVIC LANDMARK THAT REDEFINES HOW HEALTHCARE ARCHITECTURE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE MAKING OF PLACE. BY ALIGNING OPERATIONAL RIGOR WITH SPATIAL GENEROSITY, THE PROJECT ADVANCES A VISION OF THE HOSPITAL NOT SIMPLY AS A DESTINATION FOR TREATMENT, BUT AS AN INTEGRAL, HUMANE, AND ENDURING PART OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES.

THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS RECUPERATIVE HEALTH CARE CENTER

RECONSIDERING THE

ROLE OF ARCHITECTURE IN HEALING ENVIRONMENTS, RATHER THAN APPROACHING THE PROJECT AS A PURELY CLINICAL FACILITY, THE DESIGN TEAM FRAMED THE DESIGN AROUND PLACEMAKING, POSITIONING THE BUILDING AS A RESTORATIVE CIVIC PRESENCE THAT SUPPORTS PATIENTS, FAMILIES, CAREGIVERS, AND STAFF THROUGH SPATIAL CLARITY, ACCESS TO NATURE, AND A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF DIGNITY.

RECUPERATIVE CARE CENTER LAS VEGAS, NV

THIS TWO-STORY 27,000-SQUARE-FOOT RECUPERATIVE CARE CENTER LOCATED ON JUST OVER AN ACRE ALONG NORTH MAIN STREET, SOUTH OF OWENS AVENUE IS ORGANIZED AROUND A CENTRAL COURTYARD THAT SERVES AS BOTH THE PROJECT’S SPATIAL ANCHOR AND ITS EXPERIENTIAL HEART. THE MASSING WRAPS INWARD, SHIELDING THE COURTYARD FROM SURROUNDING URBAN ACTIVITY WHILE OPENING INTERIOR SPACES TO DAYLIGHT, LANDSCAPE, AND VIEWS. THIS STRATEGY ALLOWS NATURAL LIGHT TO PENETRATE DEEP INTO THE PLAN, REINFORCING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR AND ESTABLISHING THE COURTYARD AS A SHARED PLACE FOR REFLECTION, RESPITE, AND INFORMAL GATHERING.

THE PLANNING PRIORITIZES INTUITIVE CIRCULATION AND LEGIBLE WAYFINDING, MINIMIZING STRESS AND DISORIENTATION FOR A POPULATION OFTEN NAVIGATING PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL VULNERABILITY. CLEAR SIGHTLINES, LOGICAL ADJACENCIES, AND CONSISTENT SPATIAL CUES GUIDE OCCUPANTS THROUGH THE FACILITY, TRANSFORMING MOVEMENT INTO A CALM AND REASSURING EXPERIENCE. CORRIDORS ARE CONCEIVED NOT AS TRANSITIONAL ZONES BUT AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIGHT, ORIENTATION, AND VISUAL CONNECTION TO THE OUTDOORS.

MATERIAL SELECTION AND DETAILING REINFORCE THE PROJECT’S EMPHASIS ON HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN. NATURAL MATERIALS, WARM FINISHES, AND RESTRAINED PALETTES REPLACE INSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONS, CREATING SPACES THAT FEEL FAMILIAR AND GROUNDING RATHER THAN CLINICAL. DAYLIGHTING STRATEGIES AND GENEROUS GLAZING ENSURE THAT NEARLY EVERY ROOM MAINTAINS A VISUAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE LANDSCAPE, SUPPORTING CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS AND

ENHANCING THE THERAPEUTIC ENVIRONMENT. LANDSCAPE DESIGN PLAYS AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN SHAPING THE BUILDING’S IDENTITY AND SENSE OF PLACE. THERAPEUTIC OUTDOOR SPACES ARE WOVEN INTO THE PROJECT AT MULTIPLE SCALES—FROM THE CENTRAL COURTYARD TO PERIMETER PLANTING, EXTENDING THE HEALING ENVIRONMENT BEYOND THE BUILDING ENVELOPE AND OFFERING MOMENTS OF PAUSE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THESE OUTDOOR ROOMS SUPPORT BOTH SOLITUDE AND SOCIAL INTERACTION, REINFORCING THE CENTER’S ROLE AS A PLACE OF CARE AND COMMUNITY.

BY INTEGRATING ARCHITECTURE, LANDSCAPE, AND PLANNING INTO A COHESIVE WHOLE, THE RECUPERATIVE CARE CENTER DEMONSTRATES HOW PLACEMAKING CAN ELEVATE HEALTHCARE DESIGN BEYOND FUNCTIONAL NECESSITY. THE PROJECT REFLECTS EV&A’S COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE NOT ONLY EFFICIENT AND RESPONSIVE BUT ALSO DEEPLY HUMANE— SPACES WHERE ARCHITECTURE ACTIVELY PARTICIPATES IN THE PROCESS OF RECOVERY AND WELL-BEING.

UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT EXPANSION

AT THE HEART OF THE LAS VEGAS MEDICAL ECOSYSTEM, THE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER (UMC)

EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OPERATES AS ONE OF THE REGION’S MOST INDISPENSABLE HEALTHCARE RESOURCES—ACCOMMODATING

MORE THAN 120,000 PATIENT VISITS ANNUALLY ACROSS ITS ADULT AND PEDIATRIC DIVISIONS. WITHIN THIS HIGHVELOCITY ENVIRONMENT, THE OBSERVATION AND FAST-TRACK UNIT PLAYS A CRITICAL

ROLE, OFFERING SHORT-TERM ACUTE CARE IN A CONTROLLED, 24-HOUR WINDOW TO DETERMINE PATIENT DISPOSITION—EITHER

UMC EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

SAFE DISCHARGE OR FULL INPATIENT ADMISSION. THE RECENT REIMAGINATION OF THIS ESSENTIAL FACILITY MARKS A SIGNIFICANT ADVANCEMENT IN BOTH OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE AND PATIENT EXPERIENCE. CONFRONTED WITH THE LEGACY SHORTCOMINGS OF THE ORIGINAL LAYOUT— PARTICULARLY THE ABSENCE OF DAYLIGHT AND AN AGING MATERIAL PALETTE—EV&A ARCHITECTS DEVELOPED A TRANSFORMATIVE DESIGN STRATEGY. AT ITS CORE IS AN OPEN-CONCEPT PLAN THAT BALANCES CLINICAL RIGOR WITH HUMAN-CENTERED CARE, REINTRODUCING A SENSE OF SPATIAL CLARITY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EASE TO A DEPARTMENT SYNONYMOUS WITH URGENCY.

RATHER THAN ATTEMPT TO OVERPOWER THE CONSTRAINTS, THE DESIGN TEAM LEVERAGED THEM— INFUSING THE SPACE WITH A CURATED PALETTE OF WARM MATERIALS, SOFT INDIRECT LIGHTING, AND RESTRAINED GRAPHICS THAT ENCOURAGE INTUITIVE WAYFINDING AND EMOTIONAL DECOMPRESSION. THE RESULTING ENVIRONMENT IS TACTICALLY ENGINEERED TO REDUCE COGNITIVE STRESS AND FACILITATE SMOOTHER WORKFLOWS, WITH SIGHTLINES AND CIRCULATION PATTERNS RESTRUCTURED FOR SPEED AND SAFETY. MORE THAN A VISUAL UPGRADE, THE RENOVATION IS A SPATIAL RECALIBRATION THAT SUPPORTS RAPID CLINICAL DECISION-MAKING WHILE CULTIVATING A RESTORATIVE ATMOSPHERE FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES.

IN A FIELD WHERE TIME IS MEASURED IN SECONDS AND DECISIONS BEAR LIFE-ALTERING CONSEQUENCES, THE REDESIGNED UMC EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AFFIRMS HOW ARCHITECTURE CAN SERVE AS A STABILIZING FORCE—ENABLING CARE TO BE DELIVERED WITH GREATER EMPATHY, PRECISION, AND DIGNITY.

PLACE MAKING CAPITALIZES ON ASSETS, INSPIRATION AND POTENTIAL, CREATING GREAT PEOPLE SPACES THAT PROMOTE THE END

USERS HEALTH, HAPPINESS, AND SPIRITUAL WELLBEING. IT’S THE ART OF CREATING PLACES THAT UPLIFT AND HELP US ALL CONNECT TO EACH OTHER.

@ARCA THE CURVE, AN URBAN VILLAGE MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT

RISING FROM THE STALLED AMBITION OF AN UNFINISHED HIGH-RISE, ARCA AT THE CURVE RECLAIMS ITS SITE WITH A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT PROPOSITION: NOT VERTICAL ISOLATION, BUT HORIZONTAL COMMUNITY. WHERE A TRIO OF SINGULAR TOWERS ONCE PROMISED SKYLINE PRESENCE, THIS 15-ACRE DEVELOPMENT INSTEAD COMPOSES AN URBAN VILLAGE—AN INTERCONNECTED FIELD OF BUILDINGS, LANDSCAPES, AND SHARED EXPERIENCES THAT REFRAME DENSITY THROUGH THE LENS OF PLACE-MAKING.

ARCA @ THE CURVE LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

THE PLAN ORGANIZES SEVEN FIVE-STORY RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS OVER SUBTERRANEAN PARKING, DISTRIBUTING 614 UNITS ACROSS A POROUS CAMPUS THAT PRIVILEGES MOVEMENT, LIGHT, AND SOCIAL EXCHANGE. RATHER THAN TREATING OPEN SPACE AS LEFTOVER AREA, THE PROJECT DEFINES TWO PRIMARY AMENITY COURTYARDS AS ITS SPATIAL AND SOCIAL ANCHORS.

THESE COURTYARDS OPERATE AS OUTDOOR ROOMS— LAYERED WITH PLANTING, WATER, SHADE STRUCTURES, AND PROGRAMMABLE ZONES—WHERE DAILY LIFE UNFOLDS IN GRADIENTS FROM THE COMMUNAL TO THE INTIMATE. CIRCULATION PATHS ARE DELIBERATELY CHOREOGRAPHED TO PASS THROUGH THESE LANDSCAPES, TRANSFORMING ROUTINE MOVEMENT INTO A SEQUENCE OF ENCOUNTERS, VIEWS, AND MOMENTS OF PAUSE.

AT THE CENTER, A COMMONS BUILDING CONSOLIDATES THE PROJECT’S CIVIC LIFE. POSITIONED AS BOTH HINGE AND HEART, IT GATHERS RECREATION, WELLNESS, AND RETAIL INTO A TRANSPARENT, HIGHLY ACTIVATED HUB THAT EXTENDS OUTWARD INTO THE SURROUNDING COURTYARDS. ITS ARCHITECTURE DISSOLVES THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUT, REINFORCING A CONTINUOUS PUBLIC REALM THAT ENCOURAGES PARTICIPATION AND FOSTERS IDENTITY.

ARRIVAL IS EQUALLY INTENTIONAL: A FRAMED ENTRY SEQUENCE AND LANDSCAPED FORECOURT ESTABLISH A SENSE OF ADDRESS AND PROCESSION, LENDING THE DEVELOPMENT A CLARITY OFTEN ABSENT IN CONTEMPORARY MULTIFAMILY ENVIRONMENTS.

MATERIALLY, THE ARCHITECTURE ADOPTS A RESTRAINED, CONTEMPORARY PALETTE CALIBRATED TO THE DESERT CONTEXT. LIGHT-TONED SURFACES, ARTICULATED MASSING, AND DEEP RECESSES TEMPER SOLAR EXPOSURE WHILE PRODUCING A LEGIBLE RHYTHM ACROSS THE CAMPUS. BALCONIES AND FENESTRATION ARE DEPLOYED NOT ONLY FOR PERFORMANCE, BUT TO CREATE A LAYERED FAÇADE THAT BALANCES PRIVACY WITH CONNECTION, ALLOWING RESIDENTS TO ENGAGE VISUALLY WITH THE LIFE OF THE COURTYARDS BELOW.

ARCA @ THE CURVE LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS—RANGING FROM STUDIOS TO TWO-BEDROOM LAYOUTS EXTEND THE PROJECT’S EMPHASIS ON LIVABILITY AND LIGHT. OPEN PLANS, GENEROUS GLAZING, AND CAREFULLY CONSIDERED PROPORTIONS FOSTER INTERIORS THAT FEEL BOTH EXPANSIVE AND GROUNDED. THESE PRIVATE ENVIRONMENTS ARE COMPLEMENTED BY AN UNUSUALLY ROBUST SUITE OF SHARED AMENITIES: A RESORT-STYLE POOL, FIRE FEATURES, WALKING PATHS, AND INDOOROUTDOOR GATHERING SPACES THAT BLUR DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN LEISURE AND DAILY ROUTINE.

EQUALLY INTEGRAL IS THE PROJECT’S ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY. SOLAR INTEGRATION, SHADE STRUCTURES, AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN WORK IN CONCERT TO MITIGATE THE INTENSITY OF THE LAS VEGAS CLIMATE, ENABLING YEAR-ROUND USE OF OUTDOOR SPACES. TECHNOLOGY FURTHER SUPPORTS COMMUNITY LIFE THROUGH A RESIDENT APP THAT CONNECTS USERS TO AMENITIES, PROGRAMMING, AND SERVICES—AN INVISIBLE INFRASTRUCTURE REINFORCING THE PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE VILLAGE.

IN ITS TOTALITY, ARCA AT THE CURVE POSITIONS PLACE-MAKING NOT AS AN ACCESSORY, BUT AS ITS ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE. BY REDISTRIBUTING DENSITY INTO A NETWORK OF BUILDINGS AND OPEN SPACES, THE PROJECT REPLACES THE SINGULAR GESTURE OF THE HIGH-RISE WITH A MORE NUANCED, INHABITABLE LANDSCAPE. WHAT EMERGES IS NOT SIMPLY HOUSING, BUT A COHERENT ENVIRONMENT—ONE THAT FOSTERS CONNECTION, CULTIVATES IDENTITY, AND REDEFINES URBAN LIVING IN SOUTHWEST LAS VEGAS AS A COLLECTIVE, LIVED EXPERIENCE.

BLOCK PARK RESIDENCES AN URBAN MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT

RISING FROM WITHIN

DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS, THIS ARTFUL MIXEDUSE PROJECT REANIMATES A CHALLENGING CORNER ALONG LAS VEGAS’ MARYLAND PARKWAY CORRIDOR. PROVIDING MORE THAN 200 APARTMENTS FOR WORKING FAMILIES. IT INCLUDES THE CONVENIENCE OF ON-SITE RESTAURANTS, OFFICE SPACE AND RETAIL SERVICES. BUILDING ON THE HISTORIC AND UNIQUE QUALITIES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE MISSION OF THE OWNER AND DEVELOPER WAS TO CREATE AND BUILD A COALITION OF PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE COMMUNITY AND ITS NEIGHBORING BUSINESSES TO EMBED THE PROJECT INTO THE FABRIC OF THE COMMUNITY FROM DAY ONE.

BLOCK PARK RESIDENCES LAS VEGAS

THE BUILDING’S DESIGN RESONATES WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD’S DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER, ENHANCES ITS VIBRANT MIX OF USES, AND PRESERVES AFFORDABILITY. SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIES ARE INTEGRAL DESIGN GOALS TO PROVIDE A HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENT TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY.

AMENITIES INCLUDE PRIVATE BALCONIES, A ROOF GARDEN WITH POOL, DAY-LIT CORRIDORS, STRUCTURED PARKING, LANDSCAPED COURTYARDS, AND FLEXIBLE SPACES FOR OFFICES, EXERCISE AND GATHERINGS TO BECOME A TRUE COMMUNITY CENTER FOR DOWNTOWN.

PRESTWICK VILLAGE A SUB-URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN MESQUITE, NV

RISING FROM AN

18-ACRE TRACT JUST NORTH OF INTERSTATE 15, PRESTWICK VILLAGE ANNOUNCES ITSELF LESS AS A CONVENTIONAL APARTMENT COMPLEX THAN AS A DELIBERATE ACT OF CITY-MAKING. IN A COMMUNITY THAT HAS SEEN LITTLE LARGE-SCALE MULTIFAMILY CONSTRUCTION IN MORE THAN A DECADE, THE PROJECT SIGNALS A RECALIBRATION OF MESQUITE’S RESIDENTIAL AMBITIONS— SHIFTING FROM INCREMENTAL GROWTH TO A COHESIVE, DESIGN-FORWARD NEIGHBORHOOD THAT TREATS HOUSING AS BOTH INFRASTRUCTURE AND IDENTITY.

PRESTWICK VILLAGE MESQUITE, NV

POSITIONED ALONG THE REGION’S PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR, THE DEVELOPMENT LEVERAGES ITS VISIBILITY NOT MERELY FOR BRANDING, BUT FOR CIVIC PRESENCE. THE MASSING OF THE FOUR- AND FIVE-STORY RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS FRAMES THE SITE WITH A MEASURED URBANITY, ESTABLISHING A DISCERNIBLE EDGE ALONG THE HIGHWAY WHILE STEPPING INWARD TO CREATE A SERIES OF COURTYARDS, PASEOS, AND COMMUNAL GREENS. RATHER THAN TURNING ITS BACK TO THE DESERT, PRESTWICK VILLAGE USES ARCHITECTURE TO MEDIATE BETWEEN THE VAST HORIZONTAL LANDSCAPE OF SOUTHERN NEVADA AND THE INTIMATE SCALE OF DAILY LIFE.

THE PROGRAM IS AMBITIOUS: 458 RESIDENCES IN TOTAL, INCLUDING MORE THAN 380 APARTMENTS AND 78 TWO-STORY TOWNHOMES. YET THE MIX IS CALIBRATED TO PRODUCE VARIETY WITHIN COHESION. THE GARDENSTYLE APARTMENTS ARE ORGANIZED AROUND SHADED COURTYARDS AND AN INTERNAL STREET NETWORK, ENCOURAGING WALKABILITY AND NEIGHBORLY INTERACTION.

THE TOWNHOMES, WITH THEIR DIRECT ENTRIES AND PRIVATE GARAGES, INTRODUCE A FINER-GRAINED RHYTHM ALONG THE PROJECT’S PERIMETER, AN INTERMEDIATE SCALE THAT BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN MULTIFAMILY DENSITY AND THE SURROUNDING LOW-RISE CONTEXT. TOGETHER, THE HOUSING TYPES CREATE WHAT THE DEVELOPERS DESCRIBE AS “REAL CHOICES,” ACCOMMODATING A SPECTRUM OF RESIDENTS—FROM YOUNG PROFESSIONALS AND REMOTE WORKERS TO DOWNSIZING RETIREES SEEKING AMENITY-RICH LIVING WITHOUT SACRIFICING AUTONOMY.

PRESTWICK VILLAGE MESQUITE,

NV

ARCHITECTURALLY, THE PROJECT’S FACADES ARTICULATE THIS DUAL AMBITION OF VISIBILITY AND BELONGING. ALONG THE MOST PROMINENT ELEVATIONS, EXPANSES OF GLAZING ARE FRAMED BY SMOOTH STUCCO PLANES, CRISPLY DETAILED METAL PANELS, AND WARM WOOD ACCENTS. DEEPLY RECESSED BALCONIES AND PROJECTING FRAMES CAST SHADOW AND ADD DIMENSIONALITY, MITIGATING THE DESERT SUN WHILE PRODUCING A DYNAMIC INTERPLAY OF LIGHT THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE MATERIAL PALETTE—SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTEMPORARY AND TACTILE, POSITIONS THE DEVELOPMENT AS A FORWARD-LOOKING LANDMARK, YET AVOIDS SPECTACLE IN FAVOR OF MEASURED REFINEMENT.

AT THE HEART OF THE COMPOSITION LIES A CENTRAL AMENITY SPINE THAT FUNCTIONS AS THE SOCIAL CONDENSER OF THE COMMUNITY. A DOUBLEHEIGHT CLUBHOUSE ANCHORS THE MAIN COURTYARD, ITS TRANSPARENT GLAZING REVEALING CO-WORKING STUDIOS, A CLUBROOM, AND SHARED LOUNGES. THESE INTERIOR SPACES EXTEND OUTWARD TO A RESORTCALIBER POOL DECK, WHERE SHADED CABANAS, LANDSCAPED TERRACES, AND PROGRAMMED GATHERING ZONES BLUR THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND OPEN SPACE. THE FITNESS CENTER AND DEDICATED YOGA STUDIO REINFORCE A WELLNESSORIENTED ETHOS, EMBEDDING HEALTH AND PRODUCTIVITY INTO THE DAILY ROUTINES OF RESIDENTS.

IMPORTANTLY, THE PROJECT’S PHASING STRATEGY ENSURES THAT THESE COMMUNAL AMENITIES ARE DELIVERED IN CONCERT WITH RESIDENTIAL OCCUPANCY, ALLOWING THE CULTURE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO FORM ORGANICALLY RATHER THAN AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT. IN THIS WAY, PRESTWICK VILLAGE IS CONCEIVED AS AN ECOSYSTEM RATHER THAN A COLLECTION OF BUILDINGS, ONE IN WHICH LANDSCAPE, ARCHITECTURE, AND PROGRAMMING OPERATE IN MUTUAL SUPPORT.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN GROUNDING THE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN ITS DESERT SETTING. NATIVE AND ADAPTIVE PLANTINGS, PALMS, FLOWERING SHRUBS, DROUGHT-TOLERANT GRASSES—ARE DEPLOYED

TO STRUCTURE PEDESTRIAN PATHS AND SOFTEN BUILDING EDGES. SHADED WALKWAYS AND LAYERED PLANTING BEDS CREATE MICROCLIMATES THAT TEMPER THE ARID ENVIRONMENT, TRANSFORMING WHAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE A HEAT-INTENSIVE SITE INTO A SERIES OF HOSPITABLE OUTDOOR ROOMS. THE RESULT IS A PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE THAT PRIVILEGES COMFORT AND VISUAL RICHNESS, REINFORCING THE PROJECT’S PLACE-MAKING AGENDA AT GROUND LEVEL.

IN A REGION HISTORICALLY DEFINED BY SINGLE-FAMILY SUBDIVISIONS AND SEASONAL TOURISM, PRESTWICK VILLAGE PROPOSES A DIFFERENT MODEL: DENSITY WITHOUT ANONYMITY, AMENITY WITHOUT EXCESS, AND CONTEMPORARY DESIGN ROOTED IN

CLIMATIC RESPONSIVENESS. MORE THAN ENDING A DECADE-LONG LULL IN APARTMENT CONSTRUCTION, THE PROJECT REPOSITIONS MULTIFAMILY HOUSING AS A CATALYST FOR CIVIC VITALITY. BY PAIRING ARCHITECTURAL CLARITY WITH A ROBUST SOCIAL FRAMEWORK, PRESTWICK VILLAGE DOES NOT SIMPLY ADD UNITS TO MESQUITE’S INVENTORY—IT INTRODUCES A NEW TEMPLATE FOR HOW THE CITY MIGHT GROW.

THE PLAZA RESIDENCES A SUB-URBAN DEVELOPMENT LAS VEGAS, NV

SITUATED ALONG THE ICONIC SAHARA BOULEVARD IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, THE PLAZAS WILL SET A NEW BENCHMARK IN URBAN LIVING AS THE FIRST MASTER-PLANNED URBAN VILLAGE WEST OF THE I-15 CORRIDOR, OFFERING SWEEPING VIEWS OF THE LEGENDARY LAS VEGAS STRIP. THIS VISIONARY DEVELOPMENT ADDRESSES A PRESSING DEMAND FOR THOUGHTFULLY INTEGRATED MIXEDUSE SPACES.

THE PLAZA RESIDENCES LAS VEGAS, NV

THE PROJECT DISTINGUISHES ITSELF BY DELIVERING AN ELEVATED RESIDENTIAL EXPERIENCE WITHIN A METICULOUSLY CURATED 12-ACRE CAMPUS.

AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT ARE TWO STRIKING TWELVE-STORY HIGH-RISE TOWERS, HOME TO 575 UPSCALE APARTMENTS. THESE RESIDENCES FEATURE GATED SUBTERRANEAN PARKING AND A SUITE OF SOPHISTICATED RECREATIONAL AMENITIES, ALL FRAMED BY PANORAMIC VISTAS OF THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY. SURROUNDING THE TOWERS ARE THREE MID-RISE APARTMENT COMPLEXES, ADDING ANOTHER 260 RESIDENCES, EACH THOUGHTFULLY POSITIONED AROUND LUSHLY LANDSCAPED AMENITY AREAS DESIGNED TO FOSTER BOTH RELAXATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

ANCHORING THE DEVELOPMENT IS A CENTRALLY LOCATED COMMONS BUILDING—AN INVITING HUB OF ACTIVITY THAT OFFERS RESIDENTS A RANGE OF RECREATION, WELLNESS, AND COMMUNITY-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING ALONGSIDE CAREFULLY SELECTED RETAIL SERVICES. FROM ITS SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH THE SURROUNDING CITYSCAPE TO ITS EMPHASIS ON CONNECTIVITY, LUXURY, AND LIVABILITY, THE PLAZAS IS POISED TO REDEFINE THE URBAN LIFESTYLE IN LAS VEGAS.

CLEARWATER LUXURY CONDOMINIUM RESIDENCES FLORIDA

NESTLED ON LESS

THAN AN ACRE YET COMMANDING A PREMIER STRETCH OF SHORELINE, THIS SEVEN-STORY CONDOMINIUM TOWER DISTILLS LUXURY COASTAL LIVING INTO A STRIKING ARCHITECTURAL STATEMENT. COMPRISING 27 BESPOKE RESIDENCES AND PAIRED WITH TEN PRIVATE BOAT SLIPS AND FULL DOCKING FACILITIES, THE DEVELOPMENT CATERS TO THE WATERFRONT CONNOISSEUR WHO VALUES BOTH EXCLUSIVITY AND CONNECTION TO THE BAY.

CLEARWATER CONDOMINIUMS CLEARWATER, FLORIDA

ON LESS THAN AN ACRE, YET COMMANDING A PREMIER STRETCH OF SHORELINE, THIS SEVEN-STORY CONDOMINIUM TOWER DISTILLS THE ESSENCE OF LUXURY COASTAL LIVING INTO A STRIKING ARCHITECTURAL STATEMENT. THE DEVELOPMENT COMPRISES 27 BESPOKE RESIDENCES—RANGING FROM 1,400 TO 5,000 SQUARE FEET—AND IS METICULOUSLY PAIRED WITH TEN PRIVATE BOAT SLIPS AND FULL DOCKING FACILITIES, CATERING SPECIFICALLY TO THE WATERFRONT CONNOISSEUR WHO PRIORITIZES BOTH EXCLUSIVITY AND DIRECT ACCESS TO THE BAY.

THE TOWER’S GLASS-AND-METAL COMPOSITION

PROJECTS A CRISP, ULTRA-MODERN SILHOUETTE, ITS REFLECTIVE SURFACES METICULOUSLY ENGINEERED TO MIRROR THE SHIFTING, EPHEMERAL TONES OF THE SKY AND SEA. THE FAÇADE IS CHARACTERIZED BY GENEROUS, STAGGERED BALCONIES THAT SERVE AS PRIVATE OUTDOOR EXTENSIONS, ENSURING EVERY RESIDENCE ACHIEVES UNINTERRUPTED OCEAN AND BAY PANORAMAS. THIS CRITICAL DESIGN MOVE ALLOWS THE INTERNAL LIVING SPACES TO SEAMLESSLY EXTEND INTO THE OUTDOORS, BLURRING THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT.

AT GROUND LEVEL, THE INTEGRATION OF SECURE, PRIVATE PARKING INTO THE BUILDING’S BASE IS EXECUTED WITH DISCRETION, WITH CARD-KEY ACCESS REINFORCING RESIDENT PRIVACY FROM THE MOMENT OF ARRIVAL. VERTICAL CIRCULATION IS CAREFULLY CHOREOGRAPHED FROM THE LOBBY—ELEVATOR CORES AND AMENITY ACCESS POINTS ARE STRATEGICALLY PLACED TO REINFORCE EFFICIENCY AND SECURITY WHILE CONSISTENTLY FRAMING DYNAMIC VIEWS OF THE WATER, UNDERSCORING THE BUILDING’S CONSTANT DIALOGUE WITH ITS SPECTACULAR SETTING. HERE, ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENT CONVERGE IN A REFINED EXPRESSION, ESTABLISHING THE BUILDING AS BOTH A VISUAL LANDMARK AND THE DEFINITIVE STATEMENT OF MODERN, HIGH-SECURITY COASTAL RESIDENTIAL DESIGN.

APEX RESIDENCES AT GALLERIA A MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT IN HENDERSON

TAKING

CUES FROM MID-CENTURY MODERNIST PRINCIPLES WHILE RESPONDING TO THE CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF A UNIQUELY CONTOURED SITE, THE DESIGN TEAM HAS CONCEIVED A VIBRANT MIXED-USE RESIDENTIAL CAMPUS ANCHORED BY A CENTRALLY LOCATED CLUBHOUSE. THIS BOLD PLACEMENT NOT ONLY ESTABLISHES A CLEAR AND CEREMONIAL SENSE OF ARRIVAL FOR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS, BUT ALSO SERVES AS THE PROJECT’S SOCIAL AND SPATIAL FULCRUM — A PLACE WHERE DAILY LIFE, LEISURE, AND COMMUNITY CONVERGE.

APEX AT GALLERIA HENDERSON, NV

BORDERING THE PRIMARY AMENITY DECK, A SERIES OF POOLS, LOUNGES, AND ACTIVE RECREATION ZONES IMMERSE RESIDENTS IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT BLURS THE LINE BETWEEN RESORT AND HOME. FROM MORNING SWIMS TO EVENING GATHERINGS UNDER SHADED PERGOLAS, THE DESIGN ENCOURAGES AN EASY FLOW BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR LIVING. A NETWORK OF PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS STITCHES TOGETHER THE RESIDENTIAL BLOCKS, RETAIL FRONTAGES, AND AMENITY SPACES, TRANSFORMING THE SITE INTO A WALKABLE, INTERCONNECTED NEIGHBORHOOD THAT FOSTERS SPONTANEOUS SOCIAL INTERACTION.

SUSTAINABLE URBAN OASIS IN KEEPING WITH ITS ETHOS OF ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, THE PROJECT IS TARGETING LEED CERTIFICATION. SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE RATHER THAN APPLIED AS AFTERTHOUGHTS. DEEPLY RECESSED WINDOW OPENINGS MITIGATE SOLAR HEAT GAIN WHILE CREATING DRAMATIC SHADOW PLAY ACROSS FAÇADES. BIOSWALES MANAGE STORMWATER ON-SITE, FILTERING RUNOFF AND REPLENISHING THE GROUNDWATER TABLE. HIGH-EFFICIENCY GLAZING SYSTEMS BALANCE DAYLIGHT PENETRATION WITH THERMAL PERFORMANCE, AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIALS ARE SPECIFIED THROUGHOUT TO REDUCE THE PROJECT’S OVERALL CARBON FOOTPRINT.

APEX AT GALLERIA HENDERSON, NV

PROGRAM AND SCALE

OCCUPYING A GENEROUS 19ACRE SITE, THE DEVELOPMENT COMPRISES 336 RESIDENTIAL UNITS ALONGSIDE 30,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL SPACE, INTRODUCING AN ACTIVE, MIXED-USE DYNAMIC TO THE SURROUNDING AREA. THE CLUBHOUSE’S CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE, RESORT-STYLE COMMON AREAS, AND A SLEEK POOL DECK WITH COVERED OUTDOOR PATIOS CREATE YEAR-ROUND OPPORTUNITIES FOR RECREATION, GATHERINGS, AND GAMES. THE RESULT IS A CAMPUS THAT FUNCTIONS AS BOTH A PRIVATE RETREAT AND A PUBLIC LIVING ROOM — A PLACE WHERE THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN WORK, LEISURE, AND COMMUNITY DISSOLVE INTO A SEAMLESS, HIGHLY CURATED RESIDENTIAL EXPERIENCE.

AT ITS FOUNDATION, BELLA VISTA ESTABLISHES AN ACTIVE BASE OF RETAIL, DINING, AND OFFICE USES, CREATING A VIBRANT STREETSCAPE THAT CONNECTS SEAMLESSLY WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS. ABOVE, FIVE STORIES OF PRIVATE RESIDENCES RISE TO FRAME SPECTACULAR VIEWS OF THE SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS AND THE LAS VEGAS STRIP. THE INCLUSION OF A TRANSIT HUB ON-SITE ENHANCES ACCESSIBILITY AND ENCOURAGES A PEDESTRIAN-ORIENTED LIFESTYLE, WHILE A SERIES OF INDOOR AND OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACES INVITE INFORMAL SOCIAL EXCHANGE AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT.

COMPRISING 110 APARTMENT HOMES ATOP 27,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL SPACE AND SUPPORTED BY A SUBTERRANEAN PARKING STRUCTURE, BELLA VISTA REPRESENTS MORE THAN A BUILDING— IT IS A VISION FOR CONNECTED URBAN LIVING. EV&A’S THOUGHTFUL MASTER PLAN EMPHASIZES DESIGN EXCELLENCE, LIVABILITY, AND COMMUNITY, TRANSFORMING THIS KEY DOWNTOWN SITE INTO A CONTEMPORARY LANDMARK THAT REFLECTS HENDERSON’S EVOLVING IDENTITY AND FORWARD-LOOKING SPIRIT.

UNLV CAMPUS VILLAGE HIGH-RISE MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT

EV&A’S MASTER PLAN

FOR UNLV’S PROPOSED CAMPUS VILLAGE ALONG MARYLAND PARKWAY CREATES A NEW DISTRICT AND URBAN VISION FOR THE UNIVERSITY AND IS BASED ON ITS LOCAL CULTURE AND URBAN HERITAGE INCORPORATING SUSTAINABLE DESIGN PRINCIPLES TO REDUCE THE DEMAND FOR NATURAL RESOURCES. THE PLAN, COVERING A CITY BLOCK IN AREA, INTEGRATES OFFICE, HOTEL, RETAIL AND STUDENT HOUSING INTO A COHESIVE VILLAGE PROVIDING COMMUNITY AMENITIES TO SERVE A GROWING URBAN STUDENT POPULATION. THE DESIGN APPROACH ALSO PROMOTES LOW-TECH PASSIVE DESIGN STRATEGIES FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY ARCHITECTURE WHICH IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE HARSH DESERT CLIMATE.

UNLV’S CAMPUS VILLAGE LAS VEGAS, NV

EV&A’S MASTER PLAN FOR THE UNLV CAMPUS VILLAGE IS A PIVOTAL, TRANSFORMATIVE URBAN VISION, CREATING A VIBRANT NEW DISTRICT ALONG MARYLAND PARKWAY. ROOTED IN THE UNIVERSITY’S LOCAL CULTURE AND URBAN HERITAGE, THE PLAN COVERS HALF A CITY BLOCK AND ACHIEVES IMPRESSIVE DENSITY BY THOUGHTFULLY INTEGRATING FOUR ESSENTIAL USES: 100,000 SF OF CONTEMPORARY OFFICE SPACE, A BOUTIQUE 100-ROOM HOTEL, MODERN STUDENT HOUSING FOR 800 RESIDENTS, AND ACCESSIBLE GROUND-FLOOR RETAIL. ALL THESE FUNCTIONS ARE LAYERED ABOVE A MULTI-STORY PARKING STRUCTURE, MINIMIZING FOOTPRINT AND MAXIMIZING SPATIAL EFFICIENCY.

THE PROJECT IS DEEPLY COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABLE DESIGN PRINCIPLES AS A NECESSITY, NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT. THE ARCHITECTURE CHAMPIONS LOW-TECH, PASSIVE DESIGN STRATEGIES, UTILIZING BUILDING ORIENTATION, CONTROLLED MASSING, AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE FACADES. THIS APPROACH CREATES ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIVE BUILDINGS THAT DRASTICALLY REDUCE RELIANCE ON MECHANICAL SYSTEMS, THEREBY LOWERING THE DEMAND FOR NATURAL RESOURCES—A CRUCIAL CONSIDERATION FOR THE HARSH DESERT CLIMATE. THE DESIGN ENSURES THE ARCHITECTURE IS BOTH ENVIRONMENTALLY PERFORMATIVE AND AESTHETICALLY MODERN.

THIS COHESIVE VILLAGE PROVIDES ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY AMENITIES TAILORED FOR A GROWING URBAN STUDENT POPULATION. THE SPATIAL LAYOUT IS DESIGNED TO GENERATE SYNERGIES ACROSS THE CAMPUS, WITH THE MASTER PLAN ENSURING SEAMLESS ACCESS AND CONNECTIVITY. THIS THOUGHTFUL INTEGRATION—WHERE DAILY LIFE, COMMERCE, AND STUDY INTERSECT, IS INTENDED TO CULTIVATE A STRONG AND UNIQUE “PRIDE OF PLACE” AMONG ITS INHABITANTS, SETTING A NEW, ASPIRATIONAL STANDARD FOR CAMPUS-ADJACENT URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND REINFORCING UNLV’S ROLE AS A LEADER IN THOUGHTFUL, SUSTAINABLE GROWTH.

SAHARA & 6TH A MIXED-USE HIGH-RISE DEVELOPMENT IN LAS VEGAS

THE STREETSCAPE IS ENLIVENED WITH A VIBRANT RETAIL PODIUM, WHILE THE 6TH AVENUE SIDE WILL FEATURE LOW-RISE OFFICES SURROUNDED BY PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY WALKWAYS CONNECTED TO ON-SITE PLAZAS THAT PROMOTE SOCIAL INTERACTION THROUGHOUT THE COMPLEX.

SAHARA & 6TH LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

AT STREET LEVEL, A VIBRANT RETAIL PODIUM ENERGIZES THE URBAN LANDSCAPE, SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATING WITH THE SURROUNDING CITY FABRIC. ALONG 6TH AVENUE, LOW-RISE OFFICE SPACES ARE THOUGHTFULLY ARRANGED AMID LUSH, PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY WALKWAYS AND INVITING PUBLIC PLAZAS, CULTIVATING A SENSE OF CONNECTIVITY AND SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT.

THE TOWER’S STRIKING FORM IS A DIRECT RESPONSE TO THE COMPACT SITE, THE COMPLEX PROGRAMMING, AND THE DESIRE TO MAXIMIZE PANORAMIC VIEWS OF THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY. CAREFULLY SCULPTED SETBACKS AT KEY TRANSITION POINTS VISUALLY EXPRESS THE DIVERSE FUNCTIONS HOUSED WITHIN, CREATING A LAYERED, DYNAMIC SILHOUETTE THAT ENHANCES THE CITY’S SKYLINE.

DESIGNED WITH A COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, SAHARA & 6TH INCORPORATES AN ARRAY OF HIGHPERFORMANCE FEATURES, INCLUDING NATURAL VENTILATION, ADVANCED THERMAL REGULATION, AND STATE-OF-THE-ART GLAZING SYSTEMS. EXPANSIVE OVERHANGS AT EVERY LEVEL PROVIDE ESSENTIAL SHADING WHILE ALLOWING SOFT, DIFFUSED DAYLIGHT TO FILTER INTO INTERIOR SPACES, SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING SOLAR HEAT GAIN AND OPTIMIZING ENERGY EFFICIENCY.

A BOLD STATEMENT OF MODERN URBANISM, SAHARA & 6TH IS MORE THAN JUST A BUILDING—IT IS A SYMBOL OF PROGRESS, AN INTERSECTION OF INNOVATION AND DESIGN, AND A NEW FOCAL POINT IN THE EVOLUTION OF DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS.

PLACE MAKING IS NOT JUST THE ACT OF DESIGNING A SPACE; IT IS A PROCESS THAT REQUIRES THE THOUGHTFUL CREATION OF REAL DESTINATIONS. THE KIND OF PLACES WHERE PEOPLE FEEL GOOD AND ARE COMPELLED TO RETURN TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

MAGNOLIA BLUFFS CASINO NATCHEZ, MISSISSIPPI

SITED JUST BELOW

THE HISTORIC ROTH HILL IN NATCHEZ, MISSISSIPPI, MAGNOLIA BLUFFS CASINO WAS BUILT OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER TO COMPLY WITH STATE’S STRICT GAMING REGULATIONS. THE PROJECT IS SUPPORTED ON NEARLY FIFTY STEEL PILES GIVING PATRONS THE FEELING THAT THEY ARE FLOATING ON THE RIVER PROVIDING A REAL CONNECTION TO THE SITE AND THE RIVER OFTEN OVERLOOKED IN TYPICAL CASINO DESIGNS.

MAGNOLIA BLUFFS CASINO NATCHEZ, MISSISSIPPI

UTILIZING LOCALLY PRODUCED MATERIALS AND TAKING CUES FROM THE LOCAL VERNACULARS IN THE AREA, THE DESIGN TEAM COLLABORATED WITH THE NATCHEZ HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO RECREATE AN EARLY 20TH CENTURY CEDAR MILL THAT HAD BEEN LOCATED THERE NEARLY A CENTURY BEFORE.

A MUNICIPAL PEDESTRIAN RIVER WALK WINDS ITSELF AROUND THE BUILDING’S RIVERSIDE PERIMETER PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE CASINO’S “BACK-PORCH” AMENITIES COMPLETE WITH FIRE PITS AND STUNNING VIEWS OF THE MISSISSIPPI AND HER MAJESTIC SUNSETS.

SUPPLANTING THIS PROJECT WITHIN AN ESTABLISHED AND HISTORICALLY RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD WAS AN INTRICATE PROCESS. THE DESIGN TEAM WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE NATCHEZ HISTORICAL COMMISSION, HELD PUBLIC WORKSHOPS, AND FACILITATED OPEN HOUSES THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN PROCESS. BY WORKING WITH A STAKEHOLDER GROUP THAT INCLUDED IMMEDIATE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORS, BUSINESSES AND SCHOOLS, EV&A ARCHITECTS WAS ABLE TO ENSURE THAT THE FINAL DESIGN INCORPORATED CRITERIA DEEMED MOST IMPORTANT TO THE CITY INCLUDING PROTECTING EXISTING VIEW CORRIDORS, INCLUDING ACCESSIBLE GATHERING AREAS LIKE A PLAYGROUND AND OPEN PARK AREA, PROVIDING A PUBLIC RIVER WALK ALONG THE RIVER AND ESTABLISHING AN APPROPRIATE ARCHITECTURAL AESTHETIC.

AFTER MORE THAN A DECADE OF OPERATION, THE PROJECT HAS BECOME A UNIQUE COMMUNITY CENTER FOR DOWNTOWN NATCHEZ AS WELL AS A NEIGHBORHOOD GATHERING PLACE WITH ITS RIVER WALK PARKS AND AMENITIES EMBEDDING ITSELF INTO THE DELICATE FABRIC OF ONE OF THE SOUTH’S MOST HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT CITIES ALONG THE MISSISSIPP I.

FURTHER REINFORCING THE CONNECTION TO NATURE IS THE DESIGN OF A RADIUSSED DOCK EXTENDING INTO THE BAY, DEDICATED EXCLUSIVELY TO NON-MOTORIZED BOATING ACTIVITIES. THIS FEATURE INVITES GUESTS TO ENGAGE RESPECTFULLY WITH THE TRANQUIL WATERS. BY PRIORITIZING CULTURAL INTEGRITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE ALONGSIDE ITS COMMERCIAL PROGRAM, THE RESORT ESTABLISHES A FORWARD-THINKING MODEL FOR RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN A FRAGILE COASTAL SETTING.

THIS GREEN CORE SHAPES A WALKABLE, HUMANSCALED ENVIRONMENT—AN URBAN TAPESTRY OF “ROOMS” IN VARIED PROPORTIONS, WHERE PUBLIC PLAZAS TRANSITION INTO PRIVATE GARDENS AND SEMI-ENCLOSED ARCADES BLUR THE LINE BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR LIFE. THE RESULT IS A CIVIC FRAMEWORK THAT PRIVILEGES CONNECTIVITY, SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT, AND ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE IN EQUAL MEASURE.

TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA

THE TOWER ITSELF IS A STUDY IN QUIET ELEGANCE AND MIXED-USE EFFICIENCY: TWENTY-SIX STORIES OF HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS RISE ABOVE EIGHT FLOORS OF PRIVATE RESIDENCES, ALL SUPPORTED BY A PODIUM CONTAINING THREE LEVELS OF FLEXIBLE OFFICE SPACE.

A SKYBRIDGE LINKS THE TOWER TO A PARKING STRUCTURE, ITS FAÇADE WRAPPED IN RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS TO MAINTAIN AN ACTIVE STREET EDGE. ABOVE, A CANOPY OF PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAYS HARVESTS SOLAR ENERGY, UNDERSCORING THE DEVELOPMENT’S COMMITMENT TO RESOURCE EFFICIENCY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP.
