ROSEANNE BEATTIE, AIA | Principal Over my 40-year career at DBI, I have worked my way up the ladder from entry-level architect to principal architect. Along that path, I was afforded the same opportunities as my male counterparts. I have been financially compensated the same as my male colleagues. Since starting at DBI in 1981, I have never felt the slightest discrimination based on my gender. DBI has always been welcoming. Over the course of my career, I've had two children, taken 12 weeks of maternity leave each time, and was welcomed back to my job after each pregnancy. DBI has always been accommodating to families, providing temporary part-time and permanent part-time positions based on family obligations.

MICHAEL HARTMAN, AIA | Principal In my 35 years at DBI, diversity has been consistently at the core of the firm, yet never consciously imbued in its daily life. It has simply been a part of us. In fact, when working to create a diversity and equity policy for the firm, it seemed as if we were just documenting what already existed. Always strong with strong women, the firm has embraced those from all races, ethnicities, religions, most all continents, LGBTQ identifying, and even straight white men! When DBI President Alan Storm wanted to bring on partners to the firm some twenty years ago, he chose two women and me, a gay man, to join him to carry the firm forward. These partners were chosen simply for their contributions to the firm, the practice of architecture, and humanity. This remains strong at the core for all.

FELIPE TURRIAGO-BORRERO, LEED AP | Managing Director, Architecture Coming to the United States from Columbia in early 2000, I had a vision of a “land of opportunity” – as many immigrants do. I found myself lucky enough to come on board with GAA first and later with DBI, where, under Alan Storm’s leadership, the place of my birth is seen as an opportunity to broaden the organization’s worldview. DBI’s commitment to diversity has led to an expanded design vocabulary, as each of us brings our own experiences to the vernacular of the firm. The diversity that Alan promotes extends to gender, age, ethnicity, and country of origin, all working toward a common goal.

EBONG UKOR, AIA, NCARB | Senior Manager Over my fifteen years as an architect with DBI, diversity has always been firmly and warmly embraced. Leadership has always made it clear – through word and deed – that the talent, energy, and results of architects and designers are the primary criteria for measuring success. But more than that, DBI has embraced diversity as key to unlocking the greater aspirations of the firm. In my career at DBI, with colleagues from South America, the Middle East, eastern Europe, and – yes—the United States, I have found that everyone’s opinion matters, and each of those opinions is valued. Where you are from is important, but what you bring to the table in terms of innovative design is what really sets the firm apart. As a Nigerian immigrant to the United States, and as a Black man in America, I can say that these things are of the utmost importance. At DBI, I truly feel I am among family, and am valued as such.

DIVERSITY

DBI Architects brings to the field of architecture and interior design an inspired, inclusive, and forward-looking design methodology. DBI presents one of the longest continual legacies of diversity in the industry – we embraced multiformity in the workplace decades before its importance was seen in the industry at-large. With inclusion of women in leadership roles, representation of minorities at all levels of management and staff, and the welcoming of differences as the rule rather than the exception, DBI has, over the years, become a crucible where talent and initiative are the defining factors.

That talent and initiative have borne out in groundbreaking, award-winning designs.

PROCESS

TEST- FIT PROGRAMMING

THE PROCESS It comes down to caring. At DBI, we work to create award-winning projects with every design – regardless of the budget. We work to ensure that the client receives the best value for their investment. We understand that our clients have two budgets: the dollars available for design and construction, and the time allotted to get the job done. DBI keeps a close eye on both. With DBI, you can expect in-depth engagement from project initiation to completion. We’re here to help visualize your “organizational truth” in a physical space that will facilitate the productivity and employee engagement objectives you’ve established. We’re here to help you more fully understand

and interpret that truth in an environment that infuses brand and culture into every aspect of the workplace – immediately engaging staff, visitors, and clients and presenting the best representation of organizational values and goals. The process that DBI follows is not dissimilar to the process many design firms might follow. It’s what we bring to the process that sets us apart. Beginning with test-fitting, visioning, and programming, we work to understand the corporate culture. We work to develop standards, based on what we’ve learned, to provide a sense of consistency throughout the finished space. From the beginning, we’ll discuss branding, and the discussion will bear on and influence design

development. More than a logo on a wall, more than a set of corporate colors, branding is that difficultto-define set of qualities, characteristics, ideals, and other criteria that define an organization and what it stands for. DBI works with you to identify the details that tell your “brand story.” From these observations, a palette of colors, textures, finishes, and furniture will be developed to create a space that boldly states the organization’s identity. We pride ourselves on delivering on-time, on-budget, and with “no surprises.” Using tools such as Revit allows us to provide clients with 3-D views from the

POST OCCUPANCY FEEDBACK very early stages of the project so you won’t have to try to interpret flat representations of your space. And, DBI will develop different scenarios to make the way to proceed more clear. DBI engages in an inward-facing value engineering throughout the design process. We understand that opportunities for cost savings and schedule management are greatest in the early stages of the project and diminish as work progresses. As a result, emphasis is placed on controlling these aspects during the schematic design and design development phases of a project. At these stages, factors that may adversely affect the cost of a design can be identified and alternative action taken, if necessary. Cost control and time management are fundamental

and continually monitored. We include valuepriced alternatives as we develop the palette. We’re also careful to seek out solutions that will not be bogged down in supply-chain bottlenecks. We want you to “spend wisely” – in your budget and in your schedule.

ensuring that everything reflected in the construction documents is built to specifications. DBI remains highly involved throughout construction administration, advocating for our client and making sure their needs are met.

As we develop construction documents, we engage the client in “page turn” sessions. These sessions are high-level but in sufficient depth and detail to be sure that the needs of the project are being met. During this phase DBI gathers bids from general contractors, evaluates the proposals submitted, and provides recommendations on general contractor selection.

During move in and even post-occupancy, DBI provides customer service as needed, perfecting the design, and gathering feedback to make adjustments, as necessary. Our work does not end when the punch list is completed.

Construction administration is a critical phase of the process. DBI remains fully engaged at this stage,

We’ll be there to assure design, functionality, branding, fit, and finish meet or exceed expectations. Because when all is said and done, it comes down to caring.

BALLSTON STATION 10,000 SF

SIZE 10,000 SF LOCATION Arlington, VA COMPLETION June 2022 PROJECT TEAM Cushman & Wakefield KNS Construction GHT Limited DESCRIPTION The revivification of the main lobby and vestibule of 4301 N Fairfax Drive, a Class-A office building in downtown Arlington, was undertaken to make the space more attractive to visitors, current and prospective tenants, and elevate the building among its peers on Fairfax Drive. The main lobby was updated to a modern yet timeless aesthetic with warm wood paneled walls contrasting with opaque, corrugated metal and back-painted glass. Lighting was a key feature in this design, as the building’s entrance is recessed off Fairfax Drive. A backlit 2-story feature wall draws the eye, creates visual interest, and integrates with the postmodern light fixture of the exterior facade.

The owner sought to turn the building into a next-generation workplace, enlivening its common spaces with a distinctive amenity mix that added value for employers and appealed to a Millennial audience.

Just off the main lobby, an outdated 2,301-SF office space was converted into a comfortable and modern lounge for tenants. The new space features a coffee bar, flexible open seating area, arcade games, and a fireplace lounge. Open plenum ceilings and a glass entry to the lounge create a visually uninterrupted experience. A custom solid oak trellis with integral lighting acts as an anchor, creating a relaxed and cozy spot for tenants. This renovated space creates new flexible options for all tenants; whether a staff event, grabbing a cup of coffee in the morning, team collaboration through a quick game break, or conducting private meetings, the new tenant lounge is designed to fill a range of needs. The interior trellis design was carried over into the outdoor lounge space, and the mixture of high-top tables and lounge seating, string lights, and lanterns makes the building an appealing oasis along Route 1. The main lobby was expanded to 4,339 square feet, finishes were brightened and modernized featuring custom glass panels and lighting, and bar-height tables, divider panels, and live edge oak window ledges create additional flexible spaces for tenant use.

DESCRIPTION Repositioning/upgrade of a 1970s-era, 11-story, precast concrete office building. Replaced dated front façade with sleek modern design; renovated the main lobby, restrooms, and elevator lobbies; and added 3,700 SF of habitable space at the penthouse level for conference center, restrooms, wellness center, and roof terrace. New features include energy-efficient, structural silicone-glazed curtain wall system; signage and canopy for stronger street presence; and ultra-clear glass to promote visibility and create a more inviting space. Façade’s new structure, placed over three colors of glass, creates a “super grid” of alternating hues that divide planes along a cascading scale of color.

SIZE 7,703 SF LOCATION Arlington, VA COMPLETION July 2021 PROJECT TEAM Penzance Kane Construction DDG of Virginia DESCRIPTION The core restrooms and main lobby had been previously renovated but the building at 4001 N Fairfax Drive was in need of a conference facility and lounge amenity spaces to support existing tenants and potential new tenants. Penzance also wanted to create two spec suites to complete ½ of the remaining 2nd floor, leaving a 3rd space in shell condition for a new tenant. DBI also incorporated a new standard for the 2nd floor tenant lobby into this project.

SIZE 10,000 SF LOCATION Herndon, VA COMPLETION March 2021 PROJECT TEAM Bristol Capital Corporation HITT Contracting Girard Engineering Linton Engineering THA Furniture - Price Modern DESCRIPTION DBI was approached by Bristol Capital Corporation to renovate the building’s main lobby and bring new purpose to the outdated space. Prior to renovation, the lobby space was primarily a sitting area with no significant functionality for the tenants of the building. The main lobby is fragmented into three unique pockets of space by the two separate elevator towers. DBI’s designers envisioned the three connected spaces each with their own function. A palette of bright white, exposed concrete, specialty prefinished metals, and warm wood tones is highlighted by furniture in bold accent colors that bring a bright and vibrant energy that invites users into the space. Design in the north lobby included a reception desk at the main entrance to accommodate security needs and a multifunction seating area. The south lobby was equipped with banquette and bar-height seating that can accommodate dining, working, relaxation, or small meetings. The central lobby was completely reimagined, turning it into a well-lit multifunction area with banquette seating built into the stairs and adding a lighted design element that span across the ceiling and along both walls, creating visual interest, drawing users into the space, and connecting the north and south lobbies and improving the flow and cohesiveness of the space.

SIZE 16,000 SF LOCATION Alexandria, VA COMPLETION October 2021 CONSTRUCTION COST $320/SF PROJECT TEAM Avison Young Kenwood Construction MGV Consultants Linton Engineering LD7 Studio, LLC DESCRIPTION Located near Alexandria’s historic Old Town district at the original location of the Alexandria Hospital, this Class A commercial office space represents a perfect blend of the modern and the classic. The building’s previously underutilized atrium and penthouse have been transformed into beautiful, highly functional and flexible spaces for use by all the building’s tenants. The building’s exterior facade has been tastefully updated to stand out among its peers while blending into the historical context of Old Town Alexandria. An open and airy atrium design welcomes visitors with plenty of light, activating the space in a human-scale, collaborative, multifunctional design. Artistic atrium shade sails provide tenants a respite from the sun in the now dynamically furnished lobby that is flexible enough to accommodate anything from intimate gatherings to large events. Brick construction elements are positioned as a design feature in the penthouse common areas, resonating with the historical importance of the site. New high-quality finishes elevate the penthouse space, which includes a coffee bar, varied collaboration spaces, training room, and a dedicated conference room. The rooftop terrace features a newly constructed pergola and furniture that create a comfortable, functional gathering area for tenants to enjoy.
