The Team

ABOUT US

DR+A

OUR ORGANIZATIONDR+A is organized to encourage the creative process and collaborate at all levels and in all places. Our passion for merging architecture, design, economics, and environment is based in this interactive, integrated, and iterative design process. Our organization and stategic alliances are a refl ection of our belief that our clients’ needs come fi rst and are built around your specifi c project rather than simply staff availability. We strongly believe in an integrated project team that takes numerous variables into account.

DR+A is rooted in the concept of merging architecture, design, economics and environment in our client’s projects. Far too often the dynamics of economy, both at the micro and macro levels, are often overlooked by others until a red fl ag is raised at a crucial crossroads. At DR+A we understand that a project’s success is not only rooted in its position within greater economic market and environment, but we also recognize that there are literally hundreds and hundreds of micro economic decisions that we must address in order to deliver a project on time and on budget. We treat every project as if it is coming out of our own checkbook.

DR+A’s approach to meeting our clients’ goals is to require maximum communications between team members and clearly understand and document these requirements and expectations. DR+A’s ability to manage this open dialogue is essential in not only meeting the schedule and budget requirements of a project, but also in meeting and exceeding our clients expectations.

...reflecting clients’ needs and not simply staff availablity...

Retail Development

DR+A

As a result of the economy for the past few years thousands of stores have been shuttered, new projects have been shelved, rents have been cut, and property values have tanked. Capital realities and tenant demand do not support major retail developments. More than ever, now is the time to consider a strategic repositioning effort of your existing retail center.

What are the most effective physical steps you need to take to get there? How do you create a new shopping environment to attract retailers and customers while mitigating redevelopment costs? At DR+A we believe there are key elements to repositioning an aging center. These include:FaçadesSignageLighting LandscapeCirculationPublic spaces

Understanding the power of the tools available to you is the first step in moving forward with your project - “architecture lite” such as new graphics, wayfinding, signage and identity, can be as influential in changing markets as heavy construction.

Whether you decide on expansion, a complete demolition, rebuild, or simply modifying aesthetics, DR+A is there to help you make the final product the best use of what you have while translating it into modern language.

The design team was engaged by the Mills Corporation and its partners as part of a development competition to bring retail, commercial and residential development to the the city.

The plan focuses on the development of a two million square foot mall and adjacent open air lifestyle town center. The mall continues the Mills expansion program and combines national discounters and speciality shops. The town center blends ground floor retailers and restaurants with upper floor office and residential users in an urban format reminiscent of a traditional village center. Surrounding the development are five residential neighborhoods with homes ranging from small neo-traditional lots to multi- acre ranchettes.

The various elements are connected through a streetscape network and open spaces. These will include hiking and bicycling trails for the public. Expanded public transit will be brought to the site to better connect it with distant neighborhoods and the traditional downtown core.

Located off of the Belt Parkway in Jamaica Bay, this Building Brooklyn Award Winner for New Retail Construction is expanding to include a second phase of retail development and the planning and coordination for the intended residential component is now being planned and developed. The team was asked to address both the retail components as well as coordinate the overall ULURP process. The design team has developed a series of design guidelines and provided schematic design for all of the tenants.

The original phase, a 54-acre shopping center remains as a substantial commercial hub for the surrounding Brooklyn communities. The second phase of the retail center adds some 400,000 sf of retail along with parking for 3,230 vehicles. This phase of development focuses more greater attention to the public realm and provides for retail in a pedestrian-friendly environment.

In late 2007, New York City adopted zoning amendments for parking lot landscaping with the goal of “Improving design of parking lots while minimizing impact on commercial & community facility developments…” In actuality, it has created a level of complexity that effects much more then just the aesthetics, environment, and safety objectives of the City. Having worked on a number of planning proposals for developers throughout the city, we understand the nuances associated with these regulations. Some of the critical issues we have encountered include:

n Retail Visibility n Pedestrian Circulation n Handicap Parking Issues n Buffering & Screening n Drainage n Irrigation

DR+A works with our clients in developing strategies for addressing these parking lot landscaping regulations and issues that may arise.

Don’t forget that the function of a shopping center is to serve the needs and preferences of its customers. People are drawn to activated spaces, no matter the size of the project. Creating a sense of place can simply mean enhancing the pedestrian experience by adding furniture, umbrellas, canopies, piped music, paving, fountains and planters. The addition of benches for adequate resting spots invites customers to linger and enjoy themselves. Plazas and courtyards serve as gathering points. Whether it is just to meet someone and continue on or linger and have a bit to eat, plazas and public spaces serve to create the third place where people go to besides home and work.

In creating these spaces there are some basic elements that need to be taken into account. These include:CirculationSite FurnishingsMaterialsPlantingShade Special Features (ie Art/Water)Signage

Whether it is a plaza, public space, or a complete site improvement, DR+A is there to help you make the final product an attractive and comfortable environment where people want to be.

Set within the rolling hills and broad vistas of the Rocky Mountains, The design for the site promotes a “Main Street” character with a contemporary flair. The development is centered around a new mixed-use retail commercial center, which capitalizes on its proximity to the Interlocken Business Park and the Flatiron Crossing regional mall along Highway 36.

The overall design shapes dynamic relationships between buildings, the landscape, and surroundings developments at a scale that encourages pedestrian activity. The open-air retail center features 550,000 square feet of shops and restaurants in close proximity to new limited stay hotels, full service hotels, conference center, and the Summit Technology Office Park to the west.

Particular attention was focused on encouraging pedestrian activity by linking the entire site with plazas, water features, bicycle trails, pedestrian paths, and a history walk that details Broomfield’s rich history. Sculptures, creative seating, paving patterns, graphics, and signage add to the experience.

Nestled between Central Avenue and an offshoot creek of the Saw Mill River, the 14 acre site represented a unique opportunity to bring large format retail to the Village of Elmsford and the surrounding communities.

Several challenges faced the design team including: 1) the site’s existing topography and former uses required the raising of the entire site by some six and eight feet to provide for a new sitewide drainage system and cap. 2) the village put strict requirements on the screening oof both the building and parking lots from surrounding roads. 3) remediation and restoration of the creek area that abutts the western portion of the site.

The design solution addressed these challenges in a variety of ways. A row of trees was provided along the eastern parking lot edge in a pattern that helped to establish a strong streetscape. Heavy tree planting was provided directly against the building along Central Avenue screening the building from the street. Directly infront of these trees, broad bands of native grasses were planted in waves forming a unique and visually dynamic edge. Lastly, the western edge of the site was heavily planted in native and ornamental plantings to resore the creek’s edge and provide a buffer from adjoining properties.

Convergence Technology Campus is the conversion of a 1.4 million-SF former defense plant into a state-of-the-art office and industrial complex ideally located just five miles north of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The facility was originally built for Texas Instruments and consequently is one of the most technologically advanced office / tech / R&D campuses in North Texas.

Convergence is re-positioning a single tenant complex into a multi-tenant corporate campus that involves separating the buildings into a series of pavilions that will house individual companies, with new entry elements that give each pavilion identity within the campus.

The design emphasizes the power and space advantages of the existing facility, important to the targeted high-tech companies and adds architectural and graphic design elements that bring the overall image of the campus into today’s marketplace. Future development allows for up to 2.5 million SF of available space.

The Auburn University TTC integrates itself well into the overall campus framework. The landscape design fosters a unique duality between the traditional external appearance of the project and how it relates to the surrounding campus, while developing a more contemporary landscape internal to the project through a series of courtyards and a new campus green.

North of the project lies a bucolic, park-like landscape buffer fronting West Magnolia Avenue. This area closely resembles the traditional frontage treatments along the street and this stretch of the campus. Internal to the complex, a cloister-like formal outdoor space is sited to serve as an extension of the open building geometry. Seating areas are populated along the perimeter of the space just outside arcades. These courtyards are defined by bosques of river birch, planting plains, and low seating walls that shelter the spaces.

Recognizing the limitations for ongoing maintenance was critical to the development strategy. Native plant materials were utilized to minimalize both water demands and costly ongoing maintenance.

The DR+A team understands that community engagement is a fundamental part of place making and community development efforts. People care about their communities and expect a chance to participate in decisions that will affect the places where they live, work, learn, and play. Residents, business owners, and civic groups are just some of the stackholders at the core of the planning process. We believe that when more stackholders get involved the resulting plan not only refl ects the community’s vision, but also empowers the ownership and continuation of the planning effort. The end result needs to be an implementation plan that move forward with community involvement and not simply some book that sits on a shelf.

Our team and consulting partners understands how to engage diverse communities and groups in productive discussions about complex and sometimes controversial issues. We appreciate the challenges involved in bringing the client, the design team, and the community together in an integrated process of analysis, problem solving, and action planning.

Crafting a strategy for community engagement focused on the specifi c community and participants is essential for a successful planning process. The DR+A team members are experts in engaging diverse communities and groups in productive discussions about complex issues.

Following the principles below, our team members been able to bring diverse, often opposing voices, into planning processes in productive, meaningful ways.

THE FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES

Ensure Community FitSuccessful community engagement respects and respond to a community’s unique interests and culture. While there are a lot of common threads in our approach to public engagement, each project develops its own unique identity. As we begin the process, we spend time identifying and working with stakeholders and client groups to understand issues and refi ne our approach. The result is a process designed to respond to the community’s diversity of experiences, perspectives, and expectations.

Establish a Clear, Transparent ProcessEveryone needs to understand the schedule and sequence of activities that build toward interim and fi nal decisions. When basic questions regarding the are clearly stated, stakeholders understand how their participation fi ts within a larger context. We work with clients and communities to clarify visions, goals and expectations early and use these as points of reference throughout the planning process.

Build Understanding & OwnershipDeepening the understanding of the broad issues, ideas, opportunities and constraints is the fi rst step toward building consensus and support. Through collaboration, participants gain a shared sense of conditions, trends, and precedents; develop and test alternatives; work towards a plan with broad support and commitments for action.

Reach Beyond the Usual PlayersA proactive approach is required to balance the interests of the general public with those voiced by energetic advocates and individuals most directly affected by planned change. To provide multiple, meaningful opportunities for engagement, we seek opportunities to:

Community Engagement

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

DR+A

1) coordinate outreach efforts with community groups, service organizations,

and media outlets; 2) balance high tech—web sites, video, and computer-generated

simulations—with high touch strategies—workshops, briefi ngs, interviews, storefront displays, and coffee klatches;

3) seek out groups and individuals to co-host events;4) target outreach to under-represented constituencies; 5) hold meetings in comfortable, easily accessible places.

Follow a “No Surprises” Ethic.Our team maintains an open door and open communication policy that seeks to allow all voices to be heard. It’s important to maintain open channels of communications— even with those least supportive of the effort, keep decision-makers and opinion leaders in the loop, and stay focused on fi nding “win-win” solutions.

TOOLS FOR ENGAGEMENT:One of our team’s strengths is thinking outside the box and we utilize a highly interactive and collaborative process for community participation and engagement. We believe that a mix of traditional and non-traditional outreach methods are the key to engaging diverse populations to provide mass citizen input. Gone are the days of simply putting dots on preconceived imagery and asking the populous to scribble their ideas on paper and leaving it to a consultant to “translate that idea into a reality”. In planning for the future we need to utilize a wide range of techniques that are truly participatory.

Our approach creates an “open platform” through not only face to face meetings, interviews, town halls, and interactive charrettes , but also by incorporating listening platforms through social networking and on-site feedback. First developed by web-based technology developers in an effort to simulate open platform programs on the web at in-face meetings, this model has been adopted by all facets of industry, through the “Unconference,” BarCamp, FooCamp, among other packaged approaches. Our team will blend the best of the open platform model (both on- and off-line) with traditional marketing and community involvement programs, in order to create a customized and appropriate model.

In designing processes, we draw on our experience with the following traditional and non-traditional tools:

DR+A’s CommittmentDR+A is committed to sustainability and it is an integral part of many of our projects. As a multidisciplinary fi rm our team offers a holistic approach to the planning and development of our projects. DR+A specialized LEED® and sustainable design consulting services offers clients practical and economical LEED® design solutions. As a member of the United States Green Building Council, DR+A has LEED® accredited professionals on staff.

Having provided LEED® consulting services for a number of clients, DR+A has been involved with creative solutions pertaining to high energy effi ciency, renewable energy, water effi ciency, storm water design, construction waste management, recycled/re-used materials, indoor air quality and many other innovative measures.

Our approach to integrating LEED® solutions into a project is straightforward and starts at the onset of the project. First, with the client, we explore the sustainable goals of the project and determine whether LEED® or other rating systems are desired to be utilized. During this, we also help the client understand the possibilities and where sustainable efforts can be maximized based on the project budget, building type, certifi cation levels desired and other programmatic elements.

Through this initial and clear understanding of the project’s site and program, solutions are developed naturally and are seamlessly integrated into the project. Depending on if a formal certifi cation process is desired or not, documentation of LEED® efforts is established at this fi rst stage of the process and continues through the life of the project.

Ten Principles For Sustainable Communities...1. FOSTER CONNECTIVITY Link land use, transportation, open space, and natural systems.

2. STREET NETWORK

Provide an interconnected street grid and public open space network.

3. TRANSIT ORIENTED DESIGN

Establish connections between various transit systems to allow for growth.

4. OPEN SPACE SYSTEM Create a hierarchy of open space typologies that encourage a broad range of activities.

5. COMMUNITY FORM

Pedestrian friendly compact environments foster greater walkability, reduced vehicular trips, and a sense of community.

6. MIXED USE

Promote mixed-use development that refl ects live, work, and play environments.

7. ARCHITECTURAL FORM

Plan for integration into the existing character of the area.

8. HUMAN SCALE / PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED

Design as if people matter...buildings, streets, and open spaces must relate to the human scale.

9. “EYES ON THE STREET” Feeling safe is essential. “Eyes on the street” provides for interaction between neighbors, a sense of ownership of public spaces, and civic identity.

10. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT

Engage, involve, and participate. Bringing the public in early and often provides for openness, excitement, and ownership.

Project ScheduleThe DR+A Team understands that schedule is of utmost priority to the both our clents, as well as to the success of the project. To this end, the DR+A Team will work with you in crafting the appropriate schedule based upon the defined final scope of services and anticipated meeting dates.

on time on BudgetThe most important factor in the success of DR+A has been its ability to manage the total planning, design and construction process for projects of diverse sizes, typologies, scopes or locations. Along with our record of delivering projects on time and within budget, DR+A is committed to design excellence, client service and team approach.

DR+A’s approach to meeting schedules and budgets is to require maximum communications between all team members and clearly understand and document the requirements and expectations of all team members. DR+A’s ability to manage this open dialogue is essential in not only meeting the schedule and budget requirements of a project, but also in meeting and exceeding our clients expectations.

In addition, design alternatives must be developed to effectively evaluated development opportunities and so decisions can be made which allows for an orderly process to project design and development.

Whether a project is developed under a standard or accelerated schedule, the design should allow for maximum flexibility so future design solutions are not precluded. This can be done with little or no economic premium given the proper design team and process.

We have used this system effectively over the years and are prepared to bring this experience to your project.
