Carl Djerassi is an author and scientist who, incidentally, played a pivotal role in the invention of the birth control pill. This year, his phil-anthropic Djerassi Resident Artists Program opened a mini complex comprising four 280-square-foot cabins in northern California. Named in honor of his late wife, Diane Middlebrook, a biographer, they were designed by CCS Architecture.

Each unit has a private bathroom, which certainly comes in handy during month-long live-in residencies for writers, poets, composers, and playwrights. CCS, which provided some of its creative services pro-bono, installed assorted bathroom-tile samples taken from their own materials library. Since the coastal Santa Cruz Mountain site is often cloaked in fog, each interior provides a workspace that has a view out-side through a sliding glass door. There is a sleeping nook toward the back, and a skylight that corresponds to an opening in the leggy pre-en-gineered corrugated-steel canopy above, which also supports solar panels. The cabins’ red-cedar siding is unfinished, to weather to silver-gray over time. —Craig Kellogg

Big space, small budget? No problem for Randy Brown, who got to show his design chops with a 7,000-square-foot office for Bozell, a 50-strong advertising and public-relations agency in Omaha that buzzes with Generation Y graphic de-signers, Web programmers, and social-media mavens.

The site is on the ground floor of a former factory dating to the 1880’s, and Randy Brown Architects did virtually nothing to change its bones. Not a single wall, col-umn, or old lighting fixture was moved. Nor was anything done to the 100-year-plus painted wooden floor. Walls got a fresh coat of white paint, exposed bricks were sandblasted, and the dropped drywall ceiling was removed, exposing a beautiful wooden structure. Since Bozell eschews privacy and hierarchical trappings in favor of an all-for-one set-up, Brown gave them a single open workspace. He did, how-ever, provide staffers places for solitary thinking and ad-hoc meetings in the form of a trio of freestanding structures made of salvaged wood. Somewhat like roofless, teetering yurts, they’re the project’s wow factor. —Edie Cohen

Rand Elliott has innovated yet again at Oklahoma City’s Chesapeake Energy Corporation—fertile ground for the Interior Design Hall of Fame member, who has completed 20 projects on the 111-acre campus. For his most recent contribution, the Elliott + Associates Architects principal tapped his inner kid to create the Chesapeake Child Development Center, a 63,000-square-foot wonderland fostering curiosity and fun.

The project is a collection of buildings—clad in gray brick and Kelly green, royal blue, and Big Bird yellow aluminum-composite panels—nestled into a verdant hillside. The vivid colors extend to the center’s interior, which Elliott divided it into four primary color–coded quadrants organized by age—infants, 1- to 2-year-olds, and 3- to 5-year-olds—plus one for staff facilities. He supplemented corridor colors with floor graphics that familiarize children with traffic-related symbols: arrows and wavy, double, and broken lines. A transverse corridor links all the quadrants—a 180-foot-long bolt of sunny yellow that not only bridges the site’s grade change, but also provides an indoor play ramp. Color abounds in the lobby, too. It’s here that children get perhaps their first taste of contemporary design via blocky lounge chairs by Niels Bendtsen and Quinze & Milan foam cubes. —Edie Cohen

It came and went like a flash—or a swoosh—as you’d expect from a sneaker company celebrating the art and design of speed. During the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials track and field competition, Nike Camp Victory, an 80-by-150-foot playground for adults by Skylab Architecture, occupied a soccer field right next-door to the action on the University of Oregon track.

Three temporary exhibition pavilions—triangular and thrusting—were canted to evoke a runner exploding out of the starting blocks. Each steel-framed structure measured 1,500 square feet and had a fabric skin of lightweight high-tensile membrane. Ranging at turns from transparent to reflec-tive, the pavilions were accented like Nike products with the company’s singular logo. Tech-driven interiors highlighted real-time athletes in motion on the track, as well as cutting-edge materials innovations in Nike shoes. Then there was an interactive running competition involving treadmills. Never-theless, after a run of just 10 days, the installation was disassembled and whisked away, without a trace. —Craig Kellogg

A scientific field laboratory might not be the place you’d expect to find an architectural mar-vel, but that’s the case when you round a certain bend on the Elkhorn River in eastern Nebraska. Designed by local firm Randy Brown Architects, the testing facility is a compact 70-square-foot wonder of angular planes that rises phoenixlike out of the rushing waters on steel poles—a structural move that ensures the building in no way impedes the river’s natural ebb and flow.

Pollution from factories, urban encroach-ment, agricultural practices, and beef feedlots is affecting the water quality of Nebraska’s riv-ers. This pilot project, the first of seven planned riverside research stations, was commissioned by the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory so that its scien-tists can study and monitor contamination lev-els in the region’s waterways. Clad in Cor-Ten steel, and powered by solar panels, the probe has the weathered patina of an old sea vessel. Inside, specimen tanks, water-testing equip-ment, and computer workspace are tucked into every available nook—even the steel door dou-bles as a beaker stand. —Georgina McWhirter

The challenge in designing this 334,000-square-foot children’s component of Legacy Emanuel Medical Center was to keep the message of serious treatment intact while softening the medical glare. Color became a prime humanizing ele-ment, with each hospital zone themed to one of the state’s regions: soothing ocean blue or cheerful sun yellow in the neonatal intensive-care unit; lush mountain green in outpatient-procedure areas; desert orange in the same-day surgery section. Emboldened by research establishing the strong connection children have with imagery found in nature, ZGF Architects assigned a different regional animal to each of the nine levels, where the mascots appear in custom art glass, emblazoned on light boxes, and applied to zebrawood veneer. Past the LED-backlit solid-surfacing frieze lining the two-story entry lobby, a pebble-lined path of terrazzo flooring connects the addition to the main hospital, casually meandering past cheery trees and birdhouses commissioned from local sculptor Larry Kirkland. —Mark McMenamin

Retained to conceive a 390,000-square-foot clinical pavilion, the Interior Design health-care Giant found the prerequisites plentiful: a state-of-the-art, multi-task complex with an emergency department, oncology center, conference facilities, even a helipad. But another challenge was self-imposed: Keep functionality from quashing the design quotient.

EwingCole settled on an organic and fluid visual blueprint, totally fitting for a place that perpetuates life. Once past the entry garden, the exterior’s orthogonal geometry is supplanted by the sinuous curves of the ceiling, which bisects the two-story lobby as it soars toward skylights. In the emergency department, 43 universal -designed treatment spaces adapt to any assignment—from examination to decontamination—at a moment’s notice. In the two-level oncology center, pops of color spread cheer across the prevailing white palette, an effect that’s especially conspicuous in the infusion section, where intravenous-drug therapies are conducted. Orange acrylic projections gesture upward over treatment zones, the color mimicking the brick exterior beyond the fritted-glass windows. —Mark McMenamin CHARLES KRONK; SAUL JABBAWY; BETSY GREGOR; MARY FRAZIER; REBECCA OFSHARICK; TARA MCGRATH: PROJECT TEAM.

ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTSLONDON AQUATICS CENTRE

The fluid geometry so evident in the London Aquatics Centre, the celebrated swimming arena con-structed post-haste for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, reflects both its functional requirements and riverside location . Designed by Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect and firm principal Zaha Hadid, the 215,000-square-foot structure features an undulating roof that sweeps up from the ground like a wave, enclosing several pools, all of which have moveable booms and floors to create different size and depth pools at the push of a button. Cleaving to the curving roofline, a ceiling system of stained Brazilian hardwood slats accommodates highly technical light fixtures that adjust to create correct levels for all manner of recording devices. Over the training pool, a coffered roof, pierced by more than 100 cat’s-eye ceiling fixtures, filters light through stretched, perforated fabric to create near daylight conditions no matter what the time or weather. Poured concrete interiors, including an elegant group of sculptural diving platforms, provide a sleek backdrop for water sports. Built with the years beyond the Olympics in mind, the center accommodates 2,500 spectators, but detachable wings, installed during the games, allow seating for 17,500. One gateway to the Olympic Park is via the Strat-ford City Bridge, which is part of the center’s roof. —Georgina McWhirter

DOMESTICHOTEL bestofyear

The Ambassador East hotel was steeped in lore—it even had a cameo role in Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest. Over the years, however, its luster faded, making the dowager property ripe pickings for the sort of transformation that Ian Schrager special-izes in. The task of rejuvenating the grand dame, now recast as Public Chicago under a program strategized by Gabellini Sheppard Associates, fell to Interior Design Hall of Famers George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg.

At first glance, the 285 guest rooms, done in a spectrum of pale shades, are almost shockingly simple. Platform beds with rift-cut bleached oak headboards, stripped-down steel desks, and dark walnut-stained chairs are the primary furnishings. Yet se-ductive or witty flourishes, the kind that have long characterized Schrager’s bou-tique hotels, aren’t entirely missing: For instance, vintage photographs of jazz greats are placed randomly on walls, smack against door frames, or off in corners. Downstairs in the public spaces, LED strips outline antiqued mirrors in the lobby, custom chairs and tables gather by the fireplace in the library, and 500 resin orbs hang from the ceiling in the Pump Room, the hotel’s restaurant. —Thomas Connors

Recycling comes naturally in Centro Histórico, the neighborhood around El Zócalo, Mexico City’s main plaza, which was built by the Spanish with stone blocks quarried from local Aztec pyramids and monuments. It’s in this tradition that an exquisite 17th-century town house, Palacio de los Condes de Miravalle, has been recycled as Downtown México, a three-story boutique hotel with 17 keys. Cherem Serrano Arquitectos pre-served many of the 50,400-square-foot residence’s his-torical elements, ranging from volcanic-rock walls, ribbed-and-vaulted brick ceilings, and clay tile floors to the 1945 murals by Manuel Rodríguez Lozano. The firm’s interventions include a planted exterior wall whose vertical landscape sports paths and a meandering bicycle, but it kept most additions minimal, sympathetic, and understated. New flooring is basalt, guest bathrooms are screened with utilitarian stacked lattice brick, and guest rooms are furnished with simple refectory-style beds, desks, and seating in naturally finished pine for a look that’s monastic but luxe. —Craig Kellogg

Long, clean lines reign supreme in this 1,900-acre resort, which includes a fitness center, two golf courses, an equestrian center, a petting zoo, spa, pools, and kids’ club among its plethora of assets. The main building’s pronounced horizontality encompasses two symmetrical wings housing 39 guest rooms and featuring exposed brickwork and patios surrounded by freijo wood. Lengthy hallways are bathed in soft natural light, filtered by a sequence of precast-concrete slats.

Gardens set the tone: The main entrance leads through a lush garden to the hotel; trees protrude through freeform apertures in the concrete canopy of the equestrian center. Passing through the lobby and veranda, also appointed in freijo, allows a gradually widening perspective to develop, one that ultimately provides an unobstructed view of the lake and expansive green landscape beyond. Below grade, the bar and restaurant extend onto a large deck that projects over the water—perfect for a moment of quiet contemplation. —Georgina McWhirter

Almost 40 years ago, when farmers unearthed whole armies of archaic terra-cotta funerary figures, this region vaulted into the tourism spot-light. Now, the 329-room Westin Xi’an by Neri & Hu Design and Research Office offers contemporary luxury that nods to the ancient culture that draws its guests. Apertures in the stucco and stone facade decrease in size as they ascend the building’s five stories, lending a tapered look to walls that are capped with historically informed sloping roofs. The inte-rior unfolds as a series of pavilions around atrium courtyards—the most dramatic of which is the double-height sunken court at the foot of a sweep-ing stair. The wood-slatted canopies at the hotel’s entrance are mim-icked throughout the property, including the ceiling that encloses the indoor pool and the armature that rises to a skylight above a formal stone garden. —Craig Kellogg

DAN BRUNN ARCHITECTURE

If you find yourself in Yojisan Sushi, a Japanese restaurant in Beverly Hills, be sure to look up. Dan Brunn Architecture has in-stalled a floating plane of silk “plants” along the ceiling near the entry, as if a forest has magically inverted itself.

But that’s not principal Dan Brunn’s only overhead interven-tion at this jewel box: Further into its 2,000 square feet hang a pair of giant rectangular volumes, their lacquered interior sur-faces, reminiscent of Bento boxes, casting a warm and flattering glow onto diners below.

To create the illusion of space, the ceiling is slightly angled, elongating the room by forcing perspective toward the back. LED strips recessed into one sidewall create angled beams of light, like a 21st-century bamboo garden. Sheer cotton-voile curtains cloak the opposite wall, softening the overall angularity and muffling ambient noise. Outside, horizontal cedar planks front the building while vertical signage crafted from repurposed ship-building steel beckons passersby. —Georgina McWhirter

Breaking from typical airport blandness, Sir Richard Branson’s cheekily up-scale airport lounges for his Virgin Atlantic Airways are dubbed Clubhouses. Serving passengers flying Upper Class (aka business class), they take inspira-tion from swank English watering holes and hotel bars, heavy on the sexy sound track. Martinis and microbrews can be had at the bar, massages and facials at the spa, and blowouts at the hair salon.

The 10,000-square-foot Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, which overlooks Eero Saarinen’s TWA Terminal, at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport is by Slade Architecture. An airy, curving wall of stainless-steel rods and walnut fins encloses the cocktail lounge and defines quieter conversation spaces on either side, while some 2,000 gold powder-coated aluminum cylinders hang from the ceiling. Whimsical wallpapers beguile with such local motifs as a field of hot-dog carts punctuated by big apples. Other walls covered with pixilated-aluminum cloud patterns offer round seating niches. They’re supplemented by custom banquettes, including a massive one of red balls, and modular seating by Interior Design Hall of Fame member Patrick Jouin. —Georgina McWhirter

IPPOLITO FLEITZ GROUP DER SPIEGEL CANTEEN, HAMBURG, GERMANY

When Der Spiegel magazine and its stable of sister publications relocated, they left behind a beloved 1969 cafeteria by Verner Panton. How to evoke that mod masterpiece without simply knocking it off at the new 5,700-square-foot location? Whiplash lines in the white terrazzo floor help define circulation zones. However, Ippolito Fleitz Group decided that, to keep the canteen flexible on the ground, the ceiling should be a showstopper.

The word spiegel means “looking glass,” so it’s somehow logical, in an Alice in Wonderland way, that 4,230 round reflectors hang overhead. But instead of glass, the shimmering mirror discs are micro-perforated aluminum—satin polished, backed with acoustical material, and dangling jauntily from the black-painted ceiling. The discs bounce daylight a bit like the surface of water in the nearby harbor does. To continue the nautical metaphor in a smaller room off the main space, a “shoal” of illuminated hanging acrylic rods drops through the discs for intimate, glare-free sparkle. —Craig Kellogg

STUDIO MINAS KOSMIDIS FABRICA KREATON and FARMA KREATON, KOMOTINI, GREECE

You’re left in no doubt that there’s red meat on the menu at this contemporary Greek tavern: Almost every detail evokes an old-fashioned butcher shop. The two-story establishment, designed by Studio Minas Kosmidis, occupies 4,000 square feet in a late 1950’s former house at the center of Komotini.

Entry is through the basement level, where customers are greeted by a pair of stainless-steel refrigerated meat lockers. Hefty tables in the small atrium at the rear are round wooden chopping blocks—a meat cleaver unexpectedly wedged into each top—circled with stools upholstered in faux cowhide. Some walls are blonde pine planks or plain white ceramic tile, while others are painted black or covered in brushed stainless steel. Floors are large-format granite tiles and ceilings feature exposed beams, also pine. Contrasting with the monochromatic palette and indus-trial finishes, chair pads are red and black gingham, and architec-tural-scale graphics by Yianis Tokalatsidis depict life-size bovine butchery diagrams. Even the accents are meat-themed: Select chairs and pendant fixtures are finished in blood-red enamel.

In a separate structure behind the house, the feeling switches to farmhouse. Reached by a short stairway or ramp, the entrance to the 3,000-square-foot Farma Kreaton is surrounded by wel-coming hay bales and a pair of digitally fabricated oversize cows. Inside, a pine-plank ceiling presides over simple wooden tables and assorted vintage chairs. —Craig Kellogg

The spacious Aix Arôme Café is situated in Hong Kong’s OCT Harbour theme park on Shenzhen Bay. Riffing on the waterfront location, Ajax Law Ling Kit and Virginia Lung, codesign directors of One Plus Partnership, drew on the wonders of the ocean for the 1,600-square-foot eatery’s design scheme.

Teal and royal blue dominate the color palette. The soaring off-white ceiling represents the sky, and the dark gray–painted timber flooring, the murky ocean depths. Seating and tables—particularly the octopuslike legs of the 15-foot-long wooden communal table—have a distinctly organic feel. Rod pendant fixtures mimic a fish’s view up to the water’s surface, where ripples catch the light. And a giant bean-shape con-crete pod, which contains the cashier and coffee service, sits Orcalike in the center of the space. —Georgina McWhirter

HOSPITALITYFINEDININGbestofyear

In the 1940’s, Frank Sinatra and Lana Turner held court in the Pump Room’s storied Booth One, taking calls on the table-side telephone. The Chicago restaurant, now part of Public, Ian Schrager’s latest hotel brand, has been brought back to life by Interior Design Hall of Fame members George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg. Previously reached by a staircase tucked away by the elevators, the space can now be entered either from the hotel lobby or directly from the street—the latter route lined with a panoply of celebrity-studded black-and-white glossies. The lounge, formerly dominated by a large U-shape bar, is more expansive with a smaller bar housed in a gold-leafed niche and a cluster of cabaret seating in front of it. The dining room’s arrangement of tables and booths echoes the old décor. But overhead, taking advantage of the 18-foot ceiling, the mood is more up-to-the-minute, thanks to a constellation of glowing resin orbs. —Georgina McWhirter

Long before it embarked on a decade-long transformation of its 16-acre campus, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts imagined LCT3 as a safe harbor for the next generation of theater artists. When H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture was retained to actualize that vision in the form of performance and rehearsal space, firm founder Hugh Hardy surveyed the center’s crowded plaza and realized the only way to go was up.

It was a bold decision to locate the 23,000-square-foot Claire Tow Theater on the roof of the Vivian Beaumont Theater, considering the latter was designed by Eero Saarinen & Associates—one of Hardy’s first employers. But the straightforward volume of steel, glass, and aluminum floats discreetly atop the 1965 structure—supplementing without superseding—poised on three steel trusses, whose diagonal bracing becomes a recurring visual element both inside and out. Elevators clad in channel glass open to a green roof and ipe-planked terrace. Past the double-height lobby, punctuated by a Kiki Smith suspended sculpture, the 112-seat theater’s rich red upholstery is bordered by warm walnut paneling. —Mark McMenamin

Originally built in the 1950’s, the 91,000-square-foot performing arts center was due for a coat of 21st-century élan. But by echoing the evolution of modernism into postmodernism, Esrawe Studio, with an assist from film and television designer Antonio Muñohierro, reinvented the six-level complex to become, ironically enough, a tribute to that very era. The entrance of the 17,000-square-foot ground floor is flanked by art-display niches, one of which occasionally multitasks as a coat check. Backlit circular cutouts in the wall cast a constellation across the ceiling of the two-story lobby, the planetarium vibe mirrored by black marble flooring. Rich wainscoting, which actually begins on the exterior, becomes a material thread, winding past concession counters covered in Venetian mosaic tiles and into the main concert hall. Fiberglass latticework fitted with acoustical panels towers on either side of the auditorium, an artful solution to the challenge of sound management. Among the functional updates: improved lighting, expanded and modernized dressing rooms, and increased accessibility for the disabled. —Mark McMenamin

Arriving at the Espacio Fundación Telefónica gallery, you could be forgiven for thinking that the Cor-Ten steel-covered tentacles winding around and through its elegantly helical staircase are a temporary installation. Quite the contrary. The biomorphic forms are load-bearing. They brace a four-level section of facade that Moneo Brock Studio and Quanto Arquitectura cut free from the rest of the landmark Telefónica headquarters, creating an ample stair atrium to welcome visitors—many of whom might be surprised to learn that the sculptural staircase doubles as a fire exit.

The Cor-Ten bracing can be closely examined through the stair’s glass bal-ustrades, their bolts echoing the rivets on the 1929 building’s columns. Stainless steel gleams. Oak trim contrasts with painted-steel mesh ceiling panels and polished concrete floors. All were chosen to recede in the pres-ence of the artwork: paintings by Joan Miró and Eduardo Chillida alongside cubist works, adventure photography, and installations. In addition to exhibi-tions, visitors find a café, children’s workshops, education areas, and an am-phitheater-style auditorium. —C.C. Sullivan

Serving the Girl Scouts of Northeast Kansas and Northwest Missouri, Camp Prairie Schooner sits on 176 wooded acres of creeks, hills, and hiking trails high on the bluffs of the Little Blue River. El Dorado principal Douglas Stockman contrib-uted a 4,400-square-foot trail center consisting of adjoining bunkhouses—each with a lounge, kitchen, and sleep and shower areas for 20 campers and four coun-selors—along with common restrooms.

The concrete-floored, corrugated-steel and translucent-polycarbonate digs include Eric Pfeiffer stools and custom bunk beds in powder-coated steel and painted birch plywood, made by Stockman’s Kansas State University architecture students. Pendant fixtures, found on Etsy, were handmade by former Girl Scout Brandi Pulver.

The flowing three-story building that is the West Hollywood Library is already a Los Angeles landmark. Because of the need to incorporate the City Council and a municipal garage, the 47,500-square-foot LEED Gold–certified building was Johnson Favaro’s most complicated li-brary-related project yet. The council chamber and conference room are on the ground level. Levels two and three belong to the library proper. Two tennis courts occupy the roof, and there’s parking for 424 cars above and below ground.

Calacatta gold marble paving the entry introduces the pale interior palette, where the re-maining flooring is blond maple. White walls, a single skylight, and commissioned artwork—including David Wiseman’s steel, bronze, porcelain, and plaster sycamore in the stairwell—create a gallery vibe. Although unquestionably rooted in the present, aspects of the library re-call the past. The children’s theater, for instance, is housed in a plywood crate, but its interior looks like an Italian Renaissance architectural fantasy with a staircase alluding to Michelange-lo’s Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence.

To bring sophistication to the reading zones, Steve Johnson and Jim Favaro called in Carol Cambianica for her expertise in library interiors. She went for simple, neutral pieces that wouldn’t compete with the architectural elements. —Edie Cohen

HGA ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS

When you’re building the place where many will take their final rest, sensory comforts are important. But HGA Architects and Engineers had a further obligation when conceiving the 141-year-old Lakewood Cemetery’s Garden Mausoleum and Reception Center: how to add the new facility without disturbing the Minneapolis complex’s long-established integrity.

Aiming to commune directly with the cemetery’s past, the firm tucked most of the 24,500-square-foot structure below a hillside, its green roof a seamless extension of the adjacent 4 acres of landscaping. Bronze doors open to the foyer and reception areas, a calming union of mahogany walls and marble flooring bathed in daylight from floor-to-ceiling windows. Down-stairs, a sweeping Venetian-plaster wall leads to the 45-seat chapel, its angled bronze-framed windows set into deep tiled recesses. In the most sensitive area, the crypts and columbariums, burial bays branch out from a central hallway with inset flooring of luminous green, honey, and pink onyx lit by windows and skylights that naturally dispel gloom while maintaining quiet dignity. —Mark McMenamin

You’d expect nothing less than a throbbing con-temporary sound track at New Heights, the aptly named 2,200-square-foot Asian brasserie high atop Shanghai’s Three on the Bund lifestyle com-plex. Indeed, a DJ spins weekly at this glass-walled restaurant with postcard views of the Pudong sky-line. The modern vibe contrasts with the august landmark base building, which was converted by Michael Graves & Associates in 2004.

Lyndon Neri and Rosanna Hu, Graves alums, re-turned recently with their new firm, Neri & Hu De-sign and Research Office, to update the rooftop eatery. Hip new bathrooms are approached through a corridor lined with oak-plank walls, ceil-ing, and floor. In the men’s room, a suspended mesh ceiling veils ventilation and lighting. Spot-lights behind the mesh project its texturizing shad-ows on the floor and on concrete vanities with in-set porcelain sinks. Satin-bronze stall doors and wall panels behind the urinals display a series of oversized polished numerals, which reflect the central structural column painted a refreshing mint green. —Craig Kellogg

Gensler had been at the same Los Angeles address for two decades. And the office resembled, to put it kindly, a generic law firm—a tired one at that. With the lease ending, the firm opted to move from Santa Monica to downtown, where a 1972 former bank building not only offered a much-needed 45,000 square feet but also a plaza in back featuring a distinctive fountain-sculpture by Herbert Bayer.

Lead by principal and managing director Robert Jernigan, design director Richard Hammond, and senior designer Sabu Song, chief interventions entailed cutting a massive hole in the roof, inserting an operable skylight to cap the central atrium, and, around it, hanging a mezzanine. Meeting rooms stack and cantilever around the atrium, too; one of them, enclosed in glass laminated “Gensler red,” brightens the office-scape. Others are clad in panels of zinc or—in the case of the one dubbed the Tree House because it hovers over the main lounge—translucent white polycarbonate. The different materials come through loud and clear, making the whole place vibrate with kinetic energy. —Edie Cohen

Charity starts at home—a phrase NBBJ took to heart when creating the 900,000 square feet that house one of the world’s best-known philanthropic organiza-tions: the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle. Utilizing the skills of individuals who benefit from the foundation’s work, the design for phase one of the proj-ect supports sustainable, small-craft industries in the Pacific Northwest and abroad, linking employees from 37 countries to foundation initiatives. Regional ele-ments include reception’s sustainable alder cladding, a 30-foot-long sofa covered with a continuous piece of locally sourced wool felt, and Marie Watt’s 14-foot-high stack of repurposed blankets collected from Gates Foundation staffers. The soaring atrium, where casual coffee breaks as well as large formal events take place, of-fers one of Ghanaian artist El Anatsui’s textile hangings made of recycled bottle caps. Break-out sessions happen spontaneously in the outdoor courtyard, land-scaped with teak decking and native plantings, or on light-filled stair landings furnished with Patricia Urquiola sofas along with tables made from trees that have fallen on Seattle streets. —Deborah Wilk

SHIMODA DESIGN GROUPFASHION-ACCESSORIES COMPANY, LOS ANGELES

Joey Shimoda knows workplaces—whether tight and polished or expansive and raw. This space, more than 50,000 square feet in a Los Angeles former warehouse, falls into the latter category. It’s an example of the new “young” office paradigm: an open nonhierarchical configuration with an industrial aesthetic. Its modesty reflects the environmentally sensitive culture of the client, a philanthropically oriented company with a staff of 400.

Rough as this space may be, it’s luxuriously light and spacious compared to the company’s previous quarters, which were seven times smaller. Here, Shimoda Design Group opened up blacked-out windows, inserted 21 round skylights, and exploded the volume by, the architect says, “blowing holes in the second floor for a mezzanine,” which is now connected to the ground floor by a pair of giant royal-blue slides. He also created an exercise studio, 22 conference rooms, an all-purpose gathering space, and an outdoor deck. In step with the company’s social consciousness, reclaimed timber, steel, and concrete—locally sourced and untreated—are among the project’s foremost materials. —Edie Cohen

Scouting locations for new offices, Grupo Gallegos advertising agency founder John Gallegos envisioned a complex where creativity would be spurred by a demo-cratic openness—a quality that was clearly in the DNA of a 40,000-square-foot former Cineplex. Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects gave the project a distinctive flourish: 360 custom white umbrellas, a reference to photo shoots, which hang unfurled and upside down from the black ceiling above workstations in the double-height central atrium. Ringing the atrium are private offices, meeting rooms, and support spaces, as well as a cafeteria and lounge, all tucked below a perimeter mezzanine dominated by additional private offices. Lime-tinted film covers the glass walls of meeting rooms, while lime faux suede joins cerulean blue and citrus orange on the workstation dividers. The cafeteria’s beachy informality is reinforced by a glass front framing actual views of palms, sand, sea, and Surf City USA’s famous wooden pier. —Edie Cohen

SHIMODA DESIGN GROUPSTEELCASE, GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN

With potted ferns and grow lights intact, the cafeteria at Steelcase headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan, hadn’t been touched since 1983. “I knew Joey Shimoda would be perfect to help us transform our research and ideas into a physical space,” says in-house design manager Cherie John-son of the founder of Shimoda Design Group, the firm hired for the task. An experimental hybrid, the 20,000-square-foot multitasking Work Café is a cafeteria with an office pro-gram. At the bottom of a walnut staircase—overhung by an 80-foot-long, LED-illuminated, molded fiberglass canopy—a concierge desk directs staffers to one of five meeting rooms, private phone booths, or quiet rooms. Screens in the wel-come area under the stairs show event schedules. In the ex-pansive lounge, Steelcase is represented by a plethora of seating and tables rendered as Shimoda’s “palette of pos-tures.” Stand, sit, perch. When staffers started bringing their families for lunch, both client and designer deemed the ex-periment a success. A space used to impress clients and bond with colleagues has also become the star attraction on the day when mom or dad gives an office tour to the kids. Eat, work, love. —Deborah Wilk

ELLIOTT + ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTSKIRKPATRICK OIL CO., HENNESSEY, OKLAHOMA

Modernism comes to Main Street in the guise of a new out-post for Kirkpatrick Oil Co. Given the location, 70 miles north of Oklahoma City, it would be correct to assume that this field of-fice for the 60-year-old family business is the work of the pro-lific Oklahoma firm, Elliott + Associates Architects.

When a fire devastated three of the town’s circa 1910 build-ings, the firm got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to positively impact the community with a 9,400-square-foot two-story structure that looked to the future while respecting historical context. EAA took cues from the masonry of the neighboring buildings: The stark-white facade is divided into three sections, the second story of each one featuring aluminum-and-steel sun-screens whose fins are aligned with the adjacent brickwork.

Inside, daylight abounds. A glass roof caps the double-loaded main corridor. Transoms are above office doorways. A 17½-foot-tall glass-grid storefront illuminates the lobby, outfitted with Le Corbusier chairs and an Isamu Noguchi table. And the whole west side of the building opens onto a trellised courtyard, where stands a 9-foot-tall painted-steel sculpture by Nigel Hall. —Edie Cohen

Quirky details abound in the 5,000-square-foot expansion to the energy-drink giant’s Canadian headquarters by Johnson Chou. A continuous ribbon of reclaimed tamarack rises from the floor to create a row of custom work-stations, then wraps back over them to form a canopy, complete with recessed lighting, beneath the exposed ceiling. A defunct elevator core is clad in sound-absorbent felt, which takes a form recalling the muscular torso of a bull—the company’s famed logo. Looking somewhat like a rustic hut, one meeting room flaunts a continuous wall and ceiling of random-size larch slats, through which light filters as if through branches. To accommodate social gatherings, from art openings to receptions, the design team introduced a bar and lounge area wrapped by an undulating wall of reclaimed wood strips. During events, the lounge can be completely cordoned off from work areas by sliding aluminum mesh screens. —Georgina McWhirter

Major surgery was prescribed for an ailing 1870’s building in the heart of Paris before Sanofi, a pharmaceutical conglomerate, could move in. Good design being the best medicine, Studios Architecture and local firm Juan Trindade began by soliciting di-agnostic input from a focus group of 60 of the 750 employees who would occupy what became the company’s 250,000-square-foot headquarters.

Drama comes from the restored six-story atrium, capped by glass panels framed in steel. Below, structural columns take the form of vertical gardens, wrapped by plants that are watered hy-droponically. When the atrium is not set up for gatherings, green-ery, planted hedgelike in resin containers, separates seating groups of C-shape booths, tables, and stools in a pastel palette.

On the seven office floors, the design teams mended original ornate architectural details but gutted the cluttered layouts in favor of open plans punctuated with the occasional glass parti-tion. Each level now centers on a contemporary lounge featuring a long plastic-laminate element that starts as a bar-height coun-ter and morphs into a banquette. —Craig Kellogg

EL DORADO TROOST AVENUE BRIDGE, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI

For a time, Troost Avenue enjoyed almost fairytale prosperity. None other than Walt Disney oversaw ani-mation just off the Kansas City thoroughfare at the Laugh-O-Gram Studio. Through the last half of the 20th century, however, the roadway descended into pov-erty—having become known as the line between the city’s black and white communities.

After pushing for a decade, a local team succeeded re-cently in replacing the Troost Avenue Bridge over Brush Creek. Designed by El Dorado, the new structure re-duces barriers so that it is experienced as an enriching, poetic phenomenon. In other words, the bridge itself

serves as a metaphor for diversity and optimism. Encouraging community interac-tion, two wide concrete walking paths span the crossing. Replacing traditional guardrails at the overpass edges are innovative 10-feet-tall balustrades made of crystal-clear laminated-glass plates discretely bolted to stainless-steel mounts. At night, LEDs concealed in the concrete barrier illuminate the panels. —Craig Kellogg

DAVID HOTSON ARCHITECT AND GHISLAINE VIÑAS INTERIOR DESIGN

When purchased in 2007, this penthouse was an architectural bauble, lacking plumbing as well as heating and cooling systems. What it did have was the possibility of a 45-foot ceiling and 360-degree city views out massive half-moon windows created by the 1896, 21-story building’s Romanesque arches.

Hired by the intrepid young owners, David Hotson Architect and Ghislaine Viñas Interior Design em-barked on their first collaboration, which ultimately yielded a 6,600-square-foot, four-bedroom interior injected with large doses of humor. There’s an 80-foot-long custom stainless-steel slide curving through all four levels, a 45-foot-high steel column reimag-ined as a climbing wall, and a commanding black floor lamp in the form of a life-size equine statue in the living area—which, by the way, is easily large enough to accommodate a troupe of trapeze artists.

Hotson’s faceted geometric volumes appear chis-eled away—like gem stones in the negative—produc-ing striking interior and exterior vistas. Against the neutral white backdrop, Viñas deployed saturated or-anges and greens but in a balanced, strategic way. —Molly Heintz

SAYIGH DUMAN ARCHITECTSNew York

When Sayigh Duman Architects principal Koray Duman first saw the 750-square-foot corner apartment on the top floor of a six-story China town walkup, it had been carved up in a slapdash 1980’s reno-vation. Gypsum-board walls on steel studs gobbled up the limited space, to say nothing of the 2-foot dropped ceiling. The plan he sketched with the firm’s other principal, Laith Sayigh, called for a clean slate, but in the chaos of construction, Duman took care to preserve a bit of history in the form of scraps of ancient kitchen wallpaper still clinging to original plaster. Most of the other walls are exposed brick finished with a sheer white-pigmented sealer; the ceiling, now dropped only 6 inches, incorpo-rates indirect lighting and surround-sound speakers. Collaboration with Carol Egan Interiors resulted in a pair of custom sofas sitting on egg-crate bases that were built from digitally milled plywood fins. A sculptural char-treuse feature wall—which cunningly conceals ample storage space—creates a dropped ceiling at the entrance, hugs the north wall, and extends through both the living and bedroom spaces. Custom kitchen cabinetry is simply painted MDF, but Duman splurged a little on the powder room, which is porcelain tiled in a honeycomb bas-relief. —Craig Kellogg

Taipei, Taiwan, is all hustle and bustle. But the Lumiere, a six-story resi-dential condominium, provides peace and quiet within the urban din. That’s due in large part to Interior Design Hall of Fame members Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown, who were charged with converting the existing 25,000-square-foot building into nine three-bedroom residences, reworking the fa-cade, masterminding the public spaces, and designing the model apartment.

Beyond the entry’s lush bamboo garden, the lobby is designed to be an ex-tension of residents’ private living rooms: It offers myriad seating arrangements delineated by exquisite wood folding screens. The ceiling is a constellation of pinpoint fiber optics, their reflection gently bouncing off the floor of bleached-oak planks. Additional social spaces include a lounge, banquet room, library and game room, gym, penthouse event space, and outdoor areas. The same silk burlap curtains shade the model apartment’s custom furnishings, crowned by the dining area’s faceted antique mirror. —Georgina McWhirter

David Martin, third-generation principal of AC Martin Partners, fin-ished the main house of his Los Angeles estate in 2001. But, architec-ture being a profession of delayed gratification, it wasn’t until this April that he completed his lap pool and pool house, even though they were included in the overall scheme from day one.

Inspiration came from Peter Zumthor’s Hotel Therme Vals—and from Martin’s wife, an All American triathlete who required the 25-yard pool, which is supported by 20-foot-deep caissons since the site is at the edge of a steep hill. For the pool house, a single-story, 400-square-foot linear structure that doubles as a design studio, Martin had to work around mature palm and eucalyptus trees. Layering and precision are achieved through such honest, strong materials as poured concrete, glass, and zinc.

The etched-glass panels enclosing the shower cube float in a support system of steel blades and spacers. Clear glass forms the roof, lime-stone slabs, the floor. Those slabs spill over to the studio’s interior, which reveals the couple’s penchant for mid-century designers and contemporary artists, including Andrée Putman and Roy Lichtenstein. —Edie Cohen

There’s a change at the shore, where once beloved ticky-tacky beach cottages require more than updates or overhauls, and residents are opting to replace them with bold architecture. West Chin Architect’s Long Island weekend retreat walks the line between the vernacular past and contemporary concerns. To withstand serious storms, including the recent Hurricane Sandy, environmen-tally conscious, remarkably strong, engineered Austrian lumber composes most of the walls. The 5,500-square-foot house is further anchored by nearly 100 foundation piles and a concrete shear wall, which provides not only thermal protection but also the basis for the interior’s minimalist aesthetic. In the double-height second-floor living area, the ocean view is taken in through a 26-foot-wide glass-and-steel bi-fold door, which opens on to the travertine deck. Cool furnishings and Paul Villinski’s dec-orative swarm of blue butterflies complete the sense of relaxed elegance. —Craig Kellogg

A series of open-ended glass-fronted boxes—arranged amid gardens and courtyards—draws the eye from the street through the 6,500-square-foot interior to the landscaped backyard. Bates Masi + Architects wrapped floors, ceilings, and walls in mahogany boards; stone shingles reference the beach neighborhood’s wood shingle houses. Travertine joins wood on portions of the exterior siding and is also used to pave terraces. The living and dining areas occupy one vast and largely unobstructed volume thanks to a load-bearing frame concealed by the centrally placed fireplace unit, a sculptural form that also contains a coat closet and HVAC equipment. From hearth to hood, the unit is clad in digitally fabricated patinated-bronze strips set slightly apart so light from concealed fixtures filters through the gaps. Similar construction methods were utilized for the master bedroom headboard, which is composed of overlapping strips of belting leather. The woven motif appears in the master bath, too, where it is referenced in the matchstick tiles on the wall behind the freestanding tub. —Georgina McWhirter

STUDIO ARTHUR CASASMISTRAL, SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL

Situated in an exclusive shopping mall, the first real-world lo-cation for Mistral Importadora, an online wine and champagne purveyor, proves a spirited experiment in click-and-mortar re-tailing. Since the majority of sales already happen via the Web, Studio Arthur Casas’s design concept works overtime to justify the extra effort a visit to the 1,200-square-foot shop involves.

The layout aspires to take customers on a journey that stimu-lates and satisfies their curiosity with easily absorbed informa-tion. Wine bottles, their labels clearly visible and categorized by viniculture region, cantilever from snug holes CNC-cut into wall panels of frosted glass, backlit by cold-cathode tubes. Above the displays, oak slats rise to the ceiling cove, where LEDs casts a soft glow.

The materials palette is restrained but warm, with polished concrete, oak planks, and plaster used on the floor, ceiling, and walls. The digital world, however, is not short-changed: Cus-tomers can take any a bottle of wine and slide it like a computer mouse across the top of a custom interactive table to retrieve details about the vintage in hand. —Craig Kellogg

Joe Fresh, the affordably priced Canadian fashion label, debuted six years ago in a shop-in-shop at a Loblaws supermarket. Now there’s a flagship in a New York icon: a Manufacturers Trust Company bank designed in 1954 by a young Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The main challenge for Burdi-filek was that both the exterior and the interior were landmarked, meaning the floors, walls, and ceilings couldn’t be touched.

Commercial viability and artistic sensitivity at the 17,800-square-foot bi-level site were the key issues in a debate now resolved by preservationists, the Vornado Realty Trust, and JPMorgan Chase & Co., the bank that eventually absorbed the assets of Manufacturers Trust Company—allowing Burdifilek to pro-ceed with a plan reestablishing original details and surgically inserting merchandising elements. The latter would have to defer to the interior’s star attrac-tions: a massive steel-and-brass screen and mobile commissioned from Harry Bertoia for the mezzanine, now the main sales floor.

In lieu of solid walls, freestanding modular “wardrobes,” configured in C or L shapes, define roomlike vignettes. Each white box is 10 feet high by 4 wide, large enough to stand up to the architecture’s grand scale but small enough to transport upstairs via one of the repositioned escalators. —Jen Renzi

Part of the massive mixed-use Marina Bay Sands development by Safdie Archi-tects, Interior Design Hall of Fame member Peter Marino’s recent commission for his longtime client is a 20,000-square-foot mega-store, comprising a mall and a floating pavilion separated by a stretch of water. All canted curtain walls of steel-framed glass, the two-level asymmetrical mass—nicknamed the LV Island Maison—is basically two halves of a hexagon, slightly shifted.

Inside the pavilion, teak abounds. White bands of fabric, evoking sails, shade leather goods from the tropical sun. On the structure’s double-height side, women’s ready-to-wear and travel accessories are displayed at various stations while, on the mezzanine, men’s travel apparel and luggage are reached via a broad staircase. Vuitton’s strong alliance with contemporary art is evidenced by a site-specific Richard Deacon sculpture suspended 18 feet above the main floor. Moshe Safdie provided a bridge with a plank walkway and a tunnel, fashioned by Marino as a gallery with a gently vaulted, glowing stretched-fabric canopy. Escalators connect the tunnel to the lower level of the pavilion, but to arrive by ferry is an option conceived for VIP clientele looking to make a grand entrance. —Edie Cohen

Marc by Marc Jacobs has grown so much since Jaklitsch/Gardner Architects completed its showroom in New York in 2001 that the firm was tapped to refresh and expand its own work. Principal Stephan Jaklitsch blew open the floor plan, tearing down walls to liberate a run of windows along the rear. He also demolished a restroom hogging another luminous corner. “I stole the light from there and filtered it through,” he explains. “Plus, opening up the perimeter gained 1,000 square feet of showroom space.”

He divvied up part of the newly expansive 6,500 square feet with laminated-glass panels that are secured by ceiling and floor tracks, forming a slightly irregular square room. The glass sandwiches film that’s been digitally printed with a gauzy gradient blue pattern, which progresses from denser at the base to sheer at eye level before virtually disappear-ing. The glass room houses areas for women’s shoes, handbags, and other accessories, separated by gleaming white shelving units backed in acid-etched mirror. Everything is custom except the seating, Lievore Altherr Molina’s stacking chairs with seats of leather-covered molded polypropylene. —Jen Renzi

ONE PLUS PARTNERSHIPCHONGQING MOUNTAIN & CITY SALES OFFICE, CHINA

Mountains are the main theme of this 17,200-square-foot space promoting land sales in the surrounding Chongqing District, which is particularly hilly. One Plus Partnership trans-lates the conceit with various geological features rendered in shades of gray, using a tes-sellated series of triangular wooden planes and attendant oblique lines. To underscore the running landscape metaphor, richly patterned marble paving, with a patchwork of thick-and-thin gray stripes, plays its tectonic part as a valley floor. A number of earthbound focal points that evoke monstrous rocks are actually irregular brown stainless-steel counters dropped at intervals into the layout. In the spot where access to another level was needed, a stairwell gives the impression of a cave beneath a cliff. Its tunnellike interior is illumi-nated with a narrow strip of light slashed through the stone strips cladding the canted walls. And thanks to a high ceiling, a forest of LED-strip pendants rains down theatrically, like a celestial shower. —Craig Kellogg

NERI & HU DESIGNAND RESEARCH OFFICEDESIGN COLLECTIVE, SHANGHAI

Architects Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu renovated an existing building in suburban Shanghai to create Design Collective, a 77,800-square-foot hub of international furniture showrooms—including one for their own furniture brand, Design Republic. Outside, an opaque carbon-fiber wrap-per not only obscures the old facade behind a swirling mural of white-silhouette clip-art, but also sets the tone for the structure’s new design identity. Customers enter the angular exterior through a large steel funnel that heightens the experience of arrival in the soaring white-painted exhi-bition hall. A wooden staircase zigzags its way up the three-story space, which is topped with seven large skylights. Ascent offers changing per-spectives on the irregularly shaped volume as well as access to the vari-ous showrooms. Design Republic’s space, 21,500 square feet located on the ground floor, is filled with pieces sourced from both local and foreign talents and manufacturers alike. —Craig Kellogg

Father and son, William Lim of CL3 Architects and Kevin Lim of OpenUU, respectively, team up again for another industrial conversion in Hong Kong. The first phase of designing Osage Open is complete: creating flexible indoor/outdoor showroom and gallery spaces in Kwun Tong, a busy neighborhood. Tearing down walls in the former warehouse resulted in 4,500 square feet of flexible loftlike openness, suitable for art exhibitions, design fairs, and press conferences. Charac-terized by concrete flooring and white walls, the volume includes a theatrical gesture in the form of a pair of floor-to-ceiling pivoting glass doors. These offer visual and physical access to a previously underutilized terrace, which has subsequently become display space for large-scale sculpture. But they also add a sense of cer-emony to the everyday act of crossing a threshold, thanks to a large, boxlike frame—matte-lacquered oak on the interior and sealed oak on the exterior—that sur-rounds them. —Craig Kellogg

Michael Vanderbyl is thoroughly Californian. Born in Oakland, he was drawn to art and design for as long as he can remember. Public-school classes led him to the California College of the Arts, where he earned a bachelor’s in graphic design and is now, and for the past 26 years, the dean of design. “My high-school guidance counselor said I wasn’t smart enough to be an archi-tect,” he recalls.

Or perhaps she meant Vanderbyl was too smart to be just one thing. He is the epitome of multidisciplinary: A designer and an ipso facto business consultant who is fl uent in nearly all mediums. Graphic, interior, product, textile, and Web design as well as ad campaigns—he does them all under the auspices of Vanderbyl Design, the San Francisco studio he established in 1973. His clients are long-term and diverse: Teknion, McGuire Furniture, Janus et Cie, HBF, Bernhardt Furniture Company, and Luna Tex-tiles are among those in the interiors world. He’s also done showrooms for Esprit, catalogs for menswear label Robert Talbot, and graphics for an America’s Cup sailboat. His countless accolades include the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Pacifi c

Design Center; the AIGA Medal, the American Institute of Graphic Arts’ highest honor; and jury chairman for the 1992 National Endowment for the Arts Presidential Design Awards.

“Design permeates everything.” “Design must be about truth.” “Design is not a career, it’s a lifestyle.” These are among Vander-byl’s interchangeable mantras. He’s formulated them from the admiration of his own design heroes, who include members of the Bauhaus, Charles and Ray Eames, and Lella and Massimo Vignelli, the latter couple sponsoring his membership to the prestigious Alliance Graphique Internationale.

A conversation about current-day infl uences leads to hosannas for Apple and the late Steve Jobs: “The best things to ever happen to the design world,” Vanderbyl says. Which brings up branding. “A term that’s overused and misused,” he attests. “Al-though that word and ‘corporate identity’ have been around for-ever, I hate them. But clients understand them.” With Vanderbyl’s guidance, clients discover their core, what makes their company unique. “They usually know the answer, it’s just not front of mind. I help bring it forward.”

Vanderbyl does so by designing products and advertisements that make a company competitive, global showrooms that are an oasis of understatement in deference to the merchandise, and message-reinforcing exhibits, such as the Teknion booth for the 2009 IIDEX trade show that addressed sustainability without showing a stick of

furniture. Another Teknion project he conceived was “De-sign Does Matter,” a collection of essays by different authors elaborating on what it takes to create an authentic brand.

Does Vanderbyl think in 2- or 3-D? Both: “I have atten-tion defi cit,” he laughs. “If I’m working on a poster and I get stuck, I’ll switch to furniture. Then I’ll go back.” Each discipline informs the other. A curve detail on a sofa’s arm, for instance, may come from a typeface, while layer-ing, a graphics tenet, also informs showroom and retail spaces. He sees graphic design, the single discipline from which he branches out to “multi,” as ephemeral. “Unlike

its counterparts,” he says, “it moves, changes, and is a refl ection of the times.” Recent projects in that genre include labels and packaging for such boutique Napa Valley wineries as Checkerboard, Robert Pecota, and Barbour. All three are located near the small Craftsman he designed and shares with his wife, Luna Textiles founder Anna Hernandez. The city-country commute is a joy for Vanderbyl, a confessed “car guy” who has a small col-lection of luxury autos. Most days he takes his Ferrari—the California model, of course.

AlexandraChampalimaud Alexandra

Champa limaud will never forget the day she touched down in Montreal. It was January 5—let’s not bother with the year, but

say the sound track was disco. The city proved unwelcomingly for-eign and freezing to the young refugee who, due to political un-rest, had pulled up roots from her native Portugal at 2:00 in the morning with her 1-year-old son in tow.

The designer didn’t know a soul in her new hometown and, despite fl uency in both English and French, professional success was at fi rst elusive. “I don’t mean to make it sound weepy, but my life was a lot of work and not that much fun,” she says of the time. “But I am a survivor.” So, in survival mode, she cracked open the Canadian phone book, made some cold calls, and joined a fi rm decorating houses for the local rich and famous. That job led to a solo commission for prime minister Pierre Trudeau. “I am a pretty lucky person and have had an amazing life,” she says. (Indeed. We all know how the story ends.)

Born into an Anglo-Portuguese family, she was raised near Lis-bon, in a posh coastal town with a Riviera vibe. Champalimaud attended Swiss and English boarding schools, studying classical architecture and interior design at Portugal’s Fundação Ricardo do Espirito Santo Silva. She learned the secrets of lighting, proportion, and detail—along with period styles and how they evolved. Classi-cism informed residences she designed after founding Alexandra Champalimaud & Associates in 1994, but her historical study also deserves credit as a springboard for things not visible on the hori-zon at the time—things like product design. “The evolution of the chair has signifi cance when I am designing a contemporary chair,” she says. “With that background, I’m even more creative because I have the confi dence to fi re away.”

Branching into hospitality, Champalimaud remade a rumored brothel in Montreal as a legitimate, yet amusing hotel. Next, was

her stem-to-stern transformation at Quebec City’s landmark Le Château Frontenac (now a Fairmont Hotels & Resorts holding). On a family vacation, she met her current husband, Bruce Schnitzer, who en-couraged her to move to his native Manhattan. The designer’s New York fi rm took fl ight on the strength of the commission to renovate

the legendary Algonquin Hotel.This fall, the Dorchester hotel

in London revealed Champali-maud’s 22 deluxe suites. Embroi-dered bed linens are the work of her London–based daughter-in-law, Sandrine. Champali-maud fancies herself a design instigator and takes pleasure in empowering others. “I’m not controlling by nature, and I don’t consider myself entirely in control now,” the stylish de-signer says. “But I am a lot of fun when I lose it.”

Prowling her sun-splashed Union Square offi ces in a Stella McCartney Hawaiian-print mini-dress, Alexander McQueen leather fl ats, and a chunky skull bracelet, she spots a hardcover portfolio displaying projects by her fi rm, re-christened Champalimaud. After leafi ng through it, she turns to her iPad for new pictures of the guest suites she remodeled at the Waldorf Astoria 40 blocks uptown.

“I love drawing out the soul of an old building or even layering in a story,” she says. New construction at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles demanded the latter for spa suites with fl oors of wide-plank cerused oak. Their character profi le reads: laid-back Califor-nia imbued with contemporary European luxury. Other ventures to which she brings her signature opulence include a carpet collection for the Rug Company and, with cult English cloth house Holland & Sherry, outdoor fabrics and a hospitality line. “Of course, they’re expressive,” she says, “but built on wisdom and the know ledge of what can be a catalyst in people’s lives.” Sounds like fodder for several more chapters of an already charmed life.

In large part due to Jim Olson and Tom Kundig, Seattle has become an outpost of world-class design. Professional partners since 1996, the two have amassed an enviable portfolio. Their projects span conti-nents, encompass almost every genre, and have been richly lauded; AIA’s 2009 Architecture Firm Award is one among more than 150. Yet over the course of their lifetimes, nothing has infl uenced Olson and Kundig as much as their roots in the Pacifi c Northwest.

Olson’s response to the Seattle connection: “Look out the window.” A half-block away from the eponymous studio’s headquarters stands the building where he started his career at age 23 and launched a private prac-tice two years later. A native of Enumclaw, a tiny town in the shadow of Mount Rainier, approximately an hour southeast of Seattle, Olson recalls spending his childhood as a solitary thinker. Later, he earned a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Washington. “I was in too much of a hurry to start working,” he says when asked why he eschewed graduate school.

Raised in Spokane, surrounded by the rugged landscape of the Washington/Idaho border, Kundig’s DNA is steeped in design. That his father is an architect was at fi rst a deterrent. Kundig was more interested in science, particularly physics. Right-brain stimuli came from “the nutty group of artists” who were family friends. “I knew I’d never be an artist,” he says, “but I sure appreciated what they brought to the party as provocateurs and iconoclasts.” He eventually succumbed to architecture—“the intersection of rational and poetic”—earning undergraduate and master’s degrees also from the University of Washington. Ironically, it was his father who approached Olson at a lecture, which ultimately connected the two eventual partners. Kundig began employment at the then called Olson Sundberg Architects in 1986.

The 100-strong Olson Kundig Architects, formed in 2010 and including Kirsten Murray and Alan Maskin as coprincipals, counts approximately 75 percent of its work as residential. Each project is spearheaded by one of the four principals. Kundig’s houses are often simple in geometry but always gutsy, usually incorporating massive moving parts. For instance, cabins he’s designed in

northern Idaho and Mazama, Washington, have pivoting walls that open up entirely to the outdoors via a hand crank. Says Olson of Kundig: “With his physics background, Tom makes innovative and smart architecture that looks to the future.”

Olson’s residences, on the other hand, are more classical and refi ned, befi tting the art collectors who comprise much of his clientele. One in Bellevue, Washington, cohesively incorporates an ethereal James Turrell installation and a hefty steel sculpture by Richard Serra. Kundig on Olson: “In Jim’s projects, the proportions of the art, furniture, and landscape combine to almost suspend materiality into a magical realm.”

Farther afi eld, Olson has residences in Bedford, New York; Lugano, Swit-zerland; and Mumbai, India, on his boards, while Kundig has dwellings in Manhattan, Geneva, and Buenos Aires on his. All this work has led to the fi rm launching a studio in 2000 devoted specifi cally to interiors. It currently counts six designers, involved in every project. Those projects, other than residential, include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation visitor center in Seattle, JW Marriott Los Cabos hotel in Mexico, and offi ces in Asia. At the opposite end of the scale spectrum is the 2012 debut of the Tom Kundig Collection of steel hardware.

Recent commissions include a number of cultural institutions as well: The Whatcom Museum’s Lightcatcher building in Bellingham was Olson Kundig’s fi rst ground-up museum, a LEED Silver–certifi ed one at that. Several others have followed, and the fi rm is currently adapting a former Tacoma warehouse into the 45,000-square-foot Foss Waterway Seaport, set to be the West Coast’s largest maritime heritage center when it opens in 2015. Further proof of their ties to their surroundings, last year the two principals launched [storefront] Olson Kundig Architects: an experimental space hosting performances and exhibitions on the ground fl oor of their 1892 offi ce building.

The Houdini of design. That’s how Sanjit Manku refers to Patrick Jouin, his Jouin Manku Studio cofounder. Just as the legendary escape artist would extricate himself from seemingly impossible situations, Jouin likes to work within a set of almost improbable parameters. “He has this love of constraints,” says Manku. “It’s almost a game. If you give him 50, it’s not enough. He wants 75.”

That approach has proved hugely successful. Today, the Paris-based Jouin is not only considered to be one of France’s most acclaimed designers, he is also one of the most versatile. Among his products are the Pasta Pot saucepan for Alessi, the Thalya chair and Optic storage cubes for Kartell, and the Tarti Nutella spatula for lovers of the famous hazelnut spread. His stellar projects include a house in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; the Paris and Hong Kong fl agships of Van Cleef & Arpels; and restaurants for star chef Alain Ducasse. Jouin’s designs are also omnipresent on the streets of the French capital, from a bus stop near the Bastille and Vélib’ rental-bike terminals to public toilets known as Sanisettes. Jouin claims the latter is the project of which he is most proud. “Once you embark upon industrial design, you dream of becoming part of the cityscape,” he says.

Jouin was born in 1967, in the western French village of Mauves-sur-Loire. His mother was a nurse, his father a craftsman who made

mechanical parts for various machines. Jouin considered becoming a cartoonist, a surgeon, or an architect, but eventually enrolled at the École Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle in Paris. Upon graduation, he was hired by Philippe Starck to work for Thomson Multimedia and then spent fi ve years at Starck’s own fi rm. “People often assume that I’m his protégé,” says Jouin, “when, in fact, I stopped working for him 14 years ago.” Still, he does rec-

ognize a certain debt. It was Starck who introduced him to fur-

niture design and taught him just how essential curiosity is for a designer.

Curiosity is a trait he shares with Ducasse, with whom he started collaborating shortlyafter opening his own eponymous practice in 1998. The chef’s three-star Michelin restaurant,

Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée, was Jouin’s very

fi rst interiors commission. “Patrick possesses a quality that is rare among

creators: He listens attentively,” says Ducasse. “This talent plus his obsessive passion for details are

key to the success of our projects,” which also include Jules Verne in Paris and Mix in New York and Las Vegas.

is Canadian-trained architect Manku, who has been his asso-ciate since 2006. Together, they oversee Jouin Manku Studio, which counts a “James Bond–style” house in London, a win-ery in the Bordeaux region, and the renovation of the 12th-century Abbaye de Fontevraud in Anjou among its current projects. Jouin also runs a separate company, Patrick Jouin ID, specializing in industrial design. In the planning stage is custom furniture for his country’s Ministère de la Défense, being designed by Agence Nicolas Michelin & Associés and due to open in Paris in 2014.

Whatever the task, most of Jouin’s creations share stylis-tic similarities. Lines are often sensuous and sheltering. He strives for purity, imbued with the unexpected. “One of my principal themes,” he says, “is to create a sense of won-

der.” He endows objects with tactility, places great em-phasis on functionality, and avows a

fascination for avant-garde tech-nology and traditional crafts-manship—his collaborators range from rapid-prototyping technicians and stereo lithog-raphers to Murano glassblowers.

More than anything, his over-riding concern is novelty.

“Repeating myself is a con-stant worry,” he says. Fortu-

nately for clients and fans, that constant concern most often trans-

lates into our constant delight.

Circle 46


Those familiar with Mestia, Georgia, know it as a remote ski town of medieval churches and stone towers nestled amid the Caucasus Mountains. But they may be surprised to learn that it’s also becoming a site for cutting-edge design, thanks to J. Mayer H. Architects. “We were asked to develop a small police station for the growing city,” reports principal Juer-gen Mayer H. “The introduction of contemporary architecture in a historic rural context is a unique adventure.”

The commission was a natural since Mayer H.’s fi rm had already designed the township’s Queen Tamar Airport and House of Justice and Civic Centre last year. The new police station references the many 12th-century defensive towers that dot the area, and from afar looks as though it’s made of the same rustic local slate. Closer inspection reveals the facade to be board-formed concrete, cast-in-place in deference to the local construction culture. Freeform glass insertions further shift the fi ve-story building’s appearance from by-gone to futuristic.

The glass is part of the project’s—and city’s—transparency theme: no repression and nothing to hide with a new political regime for Mestia, which was just named a UNESCO World Heri-tage site. “There’s a curiosity to see how archi-tecture works as a catalyst to improve the country,” Mayer H. says. Time will tell. —Edie Cohen
