THINK URBAN
Making great places through thoughtful discovery of a place’s narrative, we connect spaces to the values and experiences of the people they serve to facilitate greater economic, social, and environmental value. Great places leverage design to create spaces for all, at all scales, for people to collide and foster serendipitous connections
Weaving History
Location: Spartanburg, South Carolina
Client: M Peters Group
Size: 200,000sf @ 200 Units Multifamily, 25ksf Retail, 30ksf Office
Built around one historic Spartanburg city fabric, the Home this new district design offers a range of lifestyle housing choices, co-working office, and active ground floor retail that nurtures small and local businesses.
Buildings are organized around pedestrian-scaled courtyards, plazas, and passages. Thoughtful placemaking activates the district and the surrounding area. All public spaces on the site are car-free, eliminating conflicts with pedestrians. Pedestrian passages connect all surrounding streets with the interior of the site. The design includes installation of public art, pop-up art exhibitions, and events in the Downtown area.
“Urban lifestyle amenities and locations add marketable value and, more importantly, foster innovation through serendipitous connections.”
—Tony Hsieh CEO Zappos
Landscraper
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina
The project will create new innovation district next to a multi-modal exchange to serve as a regional and national model for a net zero campus in nature. The concept is foil to the sky scraper and instead creates a “Landscaper” where phases of 500,000sf sit among a vibrant, natural setting podium that is punctuated with courtyards and gardens of light for a total 5M gsf. The master plan creates visual and pedestrian connections to nature and between buildings. The buildings collect solar and water to self sustain energy and become part of the working ecosystem.

Mountain of Light and Healing Gardens
Location: Weifang, China
Client: Not Disclosed Medical Research Campus
This medical research campus is organized around the idea of the power the mystic mountain and rivers flowing through the landscape have on healing in traditional Chinese culture. The healthcare towers anchor the north as medical healing facilities composed of stacked stone boxes of light. Flowing from north to the south the internal river garden ties the entire campus together. They are comprised of the garden of healing, garden of the sun, and the garden of recovery and connects various healthcare research, retail, and multifamily mixed use.

Restorative Power of Landscape
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina
Client: University City Partners
Connecting people and the environment via a green ribbon of landscape, programmed ribbons, and ravines. The porous paseo block creates a place for people to live, work and play in an indoor/outdoor mixed environment, where workspaces slide outside onto terraced roofscapes and outdoor, activated courtyards, lined with retail, food and beverage and other urban amenities. The tilted green at the heart of the site connects residents and workers back to nature and the site’s existing creek, and the treehouses in the forest create a retreat from the city.

Convergence in Nature
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina
The Day in the Life of Glass in Nature was the generator for the new campus. The project was organized around a convergence diagram inspired by how light moves through fiber optic cabling. A future phase will frame the central garden, but in the meantime the central park creates a processional space moving from the community through the lobby and overlooking the rear neighborhood plaza and event areas. The lobby is set up for open collaboration, maker space on display, and art. The typical office floor plans are open with touch downs along the exterior glazing and roof terraces. The project uses View Glass through out and exemplifies sustainable strategies for projected LEED Silver goals.

The Future is Mass Timber
Location: Columbia, South Carolina
Mass timber celebrates the craft and vernacular elements of the Carolina landscape to shape a unique retail environment. The past becomes modern through an intentional expression of structure, nature-inspired materials, weathered patina, and modulated light. Simple sophistication is achieved through thoughtful composition, craft, and materiality. The project is organized around contrasts: a ‘dark’ office bar over ‘light’ articulated retail experience. The retail component is differentiated by the use of heavily-textured horizontal materials. The board formed concrete and gabion stone in these areas reflect the local craft and provide space for branding opportunities to retail tenants.

Foster Experience
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina
Client: Lenovo
Lenovo is expanding their RTP headquarters to include a new experience center that will immerse both customers and employees in the firm’s brand and culture. The architectural language is inspired by the firm’s cutting-edge digital technology, setting a new precedent on the campus. The project creates a curated visitor experience that weaves through a technology marketplace, intimate seating spaces, large digital displays, collaboration zones, and sweeping views to nature. A central light-filled atrium acts as a threshold to curated outdoor plazas, enabling visitors to truly experience technology in nature.

Framing Nature
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina
Client: Credit Suisse
Creating a campus in nature where teams can arrive, immerse, and engage in a natural setting is the key driver for this project. The 200,000 sf HQ expansion was master planned to connect with existing buildings and future expansion while framing a natural ravine. A 400’ long pedestrian bridge touches lightly on the land to connect the campus. A crescent shaped promenade provides for outdoors terraced seating and event space for the 2500 person campus while unifying all the structures on site. The project was designed for LEED Gold and wellness guidelines to provide a healthy and sustainable eco-friendly footprint.

Creating a lifestyle living destination in nature that is inspired by the rural landscape and natural topography of the Pacolet River and the historic Clifton Mill that has since been demolished due to age. This project is organized around a series of 4 story buildings that frame nature as well as a central community garden. The site creates a sense of arrival and approach of found objects in the landscape that have both a familiar but unique play on traditional materials found in old mill towns through out the Carolinas.

Location: Anderson, South Carolina
Client: MPeters Group
Size: 280,000 square feet
The City of Anderson SC has wonderful history of textile mill architecture and this project gets its inspiration from the ruin of the Abney Mill, Whitner Creek, and surrounding neighborhood context defining the community. This project is organized around a series of 4 story buildings that celebrate Whiner Creek. The remaining Abney Mill ruins wall will be preserved as a public park icon that connects to nature trails, Black Box Community Theatre, dog parks, as well as new public park. The 4 story buildings frame the community amenities and remaining smoke stack as a defining historic feature. The sloping site and respective buildings respond the natural creek and create a series of reclamation rain gardens to help treat on the site run off.

Intersection of Arts, Culture, and Public Space
The 440 South Church Street Urban Office Tower reposition presents a unique opportunity to be Charlotte’s next “440 District,” creating an urban bridge between the arts and sports centers of the City. This repositioning will activate the city block of its building site, tying into the activity around Romere Bearden Park, The Bank of America Stadium, and the museum corridor, This new energy—supported by distinct branding and attention to the user experience—will work to create a sense of community, economic development, and workforce recruitment and retention. The client’s vision for the urban office tower is to renovate the ground floor lobby, exterior retail facades and pedestrian zones, common restrooms on all floors, and the conferencing and fitness center on the 2nd floor. Additional design consideration for the rethinking of entryways, exterior plazas, and place-making to help further the

Urban Stacking and Reuse
Location: Greenville, SC
Client: MPeters Group
Size: 150,000 square feet
The existing City Hall building is a 1970’s midcentury modern side core tower which has reached a point that renovations would add value to the asset. Its prime location made it well suited for an urban reposition to bring it up to Class A status while adding 6 new floors, new cladding, energy efficiency, mechanical systems, and beyond.
Buildings from bronze classing, travertine stone, and glass have reached their life cycle. The proposal is to define the urban level as sculptural activated pedestrian anchor while the tower was streamlined to express the structural grid clad in new bronze panels and high performance glazing. The added 6 story upper tower floors were expressed as high bay floors to accent and elongate the way to tower touches the sky. The new light filed floors clad with sculptural bronze and glazing frame the Carolinas’ Blue Ridge mountainscape beyond.

Reshaping Outdoor Retail
Location: Boca Raton, FL
Client: Barings
Size: 150,000 square feet
Transformation of an aging 1990’s retail center in South Florida, this project was proposed as a new retail destination looking forward toward highly differentiated boutique brand identity to help attract a new tenant mix.
The retail strategy was to add new anchors along a new linear festival street promenade punctuated by a new central plaza created by removing portions existing structure to allow for more people space. The facades were crafted to create a sense of individualism found in historic cities while maintaining the whole.

The opportunity to reposition an existing campus presented itself to Confidential Tech Company. Considering they are a software company, a story of connecting people with light while weaving ordinary to Epic was developed. The new campus would be approached by visitors through The Grove, an entry forecourt. Entering into the main atrium space, The Fort in pixelated light would greet you. The journey culminates in the Epic Forrest which connects other existing buildings on the campus in a unified experience.

THE HUMAN ELEMENT
Culture is about belonging, and it's demonstrated and expressed by a company's ability to create a bond between its environment, identity, and people. While space does not necessarily generate and improved culture, a well-designed workplace can work in tandem with leadership to reinvigorate a company's operations, brand, and workforce engagement.
Factory Inspired
Location: Charlotte, NC
Client: Tabbris Co-Working Innovation Lab
Size: 25,000gsf
This space is a celebration of southend’s historical Lance Crackers Factory dating back to the turn of the century. The spzce is organized around 3 design elements “The Combustion Chamber” “Speak Easy”, and the “Library”. Designed to greet people with a variety of collaboration zones, agile work settings, and amenity rich zones, this space tailors to creative work types. The material palette pulls from the machined nature of the old factory vibe, burnt and oiled metals, rustic exposed concrete, and warm tufted leather and worn barn wood.

Bring in the Light
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina
Client: Charlotte Plaza Lobby and Entry
Size: 15,000 gsf
The existing Charlotte Plaza building in Uptown needed a fresh new face to help recruit and retain new tenants and maintain the Class A status. The primary goal was to transform the perception of the “Darth Vadar” building by inserting moments of light. The main entry was developed around removing the dated black glass and replacing it with ultra clear pin mounted curtain wall to highlight lightness and transparency. The Core walls were re-clad with book matched stone to create a glowing back drop on the streetscape. Reshaping the escalator with curvilinear forms highlights the movement of people and frames a signature custom light fixture.
