Building Good Relationships Thomas Fisher Professor and Dean, College of Design, University of Minnesota

Pickard Chilton, one of the most successful American architectural firms of the past decade, emerged on the scene a dozen years ago almost out of nowhere. Its three partners — Jon Pickard, William Chilton, and Anthony Markese — had significant experience working in firms known for designing large, complex buildings around the world. Pickard and Markese had designed major projects with Cesar Pelli & Associates, whose office stands a few blocks away from that of Pickard Chilton on Chapel Street in New Haven, Connecticut. Meanwhile, Chilton developed his expertise managing large projects for Ellerbe Becket. Although clearly the dark horse among several long-established firms it was competing against, Pickard Chilton’s first commission, the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) Headquarters, was awarded just six weeks after its office opened. And it turns out that winning the CalPERS commission was a harbinger. Building Success Pickard Chilton has gone on to win one major commission after another against the best competitors in the world. And it has done so all over North America as well as in Asia, South America, and the Middle East and despite the economic turmoil of recent years. What accounts for the firm’s success?

Pickard Chilton Studio

It may have to do with the background of its partners. All three hail from the Midwest and share overlapping experiences. Pickard and Chilton met in architecture school at Iowa State University, and both had engineer fathers who liked practical solutions to problems. Chilton and Markese grew up in the same school district in Chicago. Their Midwestern upbringing might explain the unassuming, down-to-earth quality that characterizes all three partners and that makes them, by all accounts, so easy to work with. The firm’s success may also have to do with how its practice was set up. Pickard Chilton serves exclusively as the Design Architect on every project. While it remains involved in all phases of the project through occupancy, to ensure that its aesthetic design intent is realized, the firm teams up with an Architect of Record who handles the contract documents and construction administration. Pickard Chilton benefits from the other firm’s knowledge of local conditions and requirements and from the experience of the Architect of Record in terms of how best to put the building together.

Pickard Chilton Studio

This design-only approach also allows Pickard Chilton’s partners to stay closely involved in each project. In contrast to the large size of most of the architectural firms it competes against, Pickard Chilton has remained mid-sized, with some 45 staff members. This structure allows the partners to focus on client service and nurturing client relationships. However, the real key to the firm’s success is its amazing ability to develop and maintain good relationships with people for many years. Contrary to the transactional approach typical of American businesses, Pickard Chilton is much more relationship oriented, staying connected with clients and colleagues whether or not they have a project pending. “Investing in relationships with people in good times and bad is universal, something that people understand and appreciate globally,” says Chilton. This approach to doing business requires good communication skills. The firm’s partners seem well aware that good communication involves listening carefully to what people are really saying. That, in turn, often leads them to helping clients “solve their business problem as well as their design problem,” and, adds Chilton, “taking their concerns about budget and schedule to heart.” The relationship focus of Pickard Chilton extends beyond its clients to its colleagues and consultants. As you can see from the projects published here, many of the same

CalPERS Headquarters Complex

Architects of Record and other consultants reappear regularly, indicative of the strong, long-term relationships Pickard Chilton fosters. Such relationships come from respectful treatment of consultants, not backtracking on decisions, and producing very detailed Design Development documents that allow the design intent to be easily understood. Designing Relationships Of course, Pickard Chilton is not alone in building and maintaining good relationships with clients and colleagues or in completing projects on budget and on schedule. So why has it achieved so much more success than other equally responsive and responsible firms? What does Pickard Chilton do differently to account for the remarkable range and quality of its work? Devon World Headquarters

The answer has to do with how the good relationships the firm builds with people are translated into the form of its buildings. To see how this works, look at Pickard Chilton’s architecture in terms of relational dialectics, a theory developed by professors Leslie Baxter and Barbara Montgomery. Baxter and Montgomery have shown how good relationships among people require a feeling of connectedness, a degree of certainty and a sense of openness. And yet, Baxter and Montgomery argue that good relationships also need the opposite: a feeling of independence, a degree of novelty and a sense of privacy.

300 North LaSalle

All healthy relationships, they claim, involve a dialogue or dialectic among those opposites. We carry on what they call an “internal dialectic” with our friends and family involving connectedness and independence, certainty and novelty, openness and privacy. We also engage in a related “external dialectic” with acquaintances and even strangers involving inclusion and separateness, conventionality and uniqueness, and revelation and concealment. The compelling quality of Pickard Chilton’s work arises out of these same relational dialectics. Just as our personal relationships have an internal dialectic, so too do buildings in the arrangement of their program elements and in the composition of their materials, spaces, and forms. A parallel also exists between the external dialectic we have in public with people we don’t know and the dialogue buildings have with their context, culture and climate. What sets Pickard Chilton’s architecture apart is the clarity and directness with which it creates these relationships in its buildings. “We don’t seek a signature style,” says Pickard. “Instead, we look for the keys to each client’s culture and try to give it a strong, simple form.”

900 New York Avenue

Connectedness/Independence In the Devon World Headquarters (pp. 18 – 31), Pickard Chilton reflects the dialogue between connectedness and independence in the very massing of the complex. The five-story conference and training center connects to the height and massing of the nearby buildings in downtown Oklahoma City, while the tall, faceted tower stands apart from what surrounds it, like a set of chisels slicing the skyline. A six-story glass entry rotunda stands between the two parts of the complex and holds them together visually as well as functionally, in a continual dialogue on what it means to be both a part of and apart from the city. A similar dialogue occurs at Pickard Chilton’s shimmering office building at 300 North LaSalle in Chicago (pp.155–173). The glass-, aluminum-, and stainless steel-clad tower, nearly 60 stories tall, stands apart from the low masonry structures on either side. And unlike other nearby buildings that remain separate from the Chicago River, this tower provides public access to the water with a tree-lined public terrace. With 18 million square feet of LEED Gold buildings either built, under construction or in design, Pickard Chilton ranks among the leading US firms in connecting us to the

ConocoPhillips West Campus

Building Good Relationships

natural environment and helping us achieve energy independence. This office tower is no exception. It has an extraordinary efficiency, achieving a LEED-CS Gold rating through innovations such as the use of the Chicago River for the building’s chilled water, which not only reduces costs by eliminating cooling towers and conserving approximately 10 million gallons of potable water annually, but also greatly reduces the building’s contribution to the heat island effect of the city in summer. The play between connectedness and independence can be highly visible, as in the 900 de Maisonneuve project in Montreal (pp. 174 – 177), where the parking podium ties the project to the surrounding city, while the glass office building stands apart from it all, elevated on exposed columns above the fray. Or the dialogue can be quite subtle, as in Pickard Chilton’s office building at 900 New York Avenue in Washington, DC (pp. 82 – 87). The glass- and stone-clad building in the heart of the capital city matches the height, scale and form of the mid-rise structures around it. But at the center of the U-shaped structure, separate from the street, stands a delightful, light-filled atrium featuring tall columns, some of which lean like the trunks of tall trees. Inclusion/Seclusion Pickard Chilton’s projects on more isolated sites engage in the “external dialectic” of inclusion and seclusion. The California Resources Agency Headquarters in Sacramento (pp. 101 – 103) offers one example, secluded on land separated from the downtown by two highways, with a plaza opening out to the Sacramento River in a spirit of inclusiveness. A similar mix of seclusion from the city and inclusion of various outdoor activities occurs in the firm’s urban design work, such as the California Green in Orange County (pp. 132 – 137) or the Bloomington Central Station outside Minneapolis (pp. 238 – 241).

Iskandar Investment Headquarters

River Point

In other projects, such as the expansion of ConocoPhillips West Campus in Houston (pp. 225 – 237), Pickard Chilton shows how buildings can create a sense of urbanity, even when in a suburban location. The project consists of new conference facilities, a fitness and wellness center, and a light-filled entrance rotunda that welcomes visitors to the corporate campus and ushers employees from the new six-story garage to the offices. The outdoor garden created by the expansion also provides a secluded gathering space able to accommodate a range of company events. The Iskandar Investment Headquarters in Malaysia (pp. 74 – 81) shows how inclusiveness of a different sort can occur on even the most secluded site. Located on a large piece of land in a newly developed area, the building consists of two six-story office blocks that cup a central open space containing the vertical circulation towers. The two blocks each stand atop large, triangulated columns that raise the structure above the lush landscape, with curved screens shading the glass-clad offices. Recalling the elegant traditional Malay boats that ply the waters of this tropical country, the curving boat-like building makes inclusive references to the culture and climate in its beautiful, isolated setting.

Eighth Avenue Place

Certainty/Novelty Pickard Chilton’s work expresses the relational need for certainty and novelty in various ways. In the River Point tower in Chicago (pp. 142 – 149), the conventions of an office building, with open floor plates around a central core, had to adapt to the novelty of the building’s riverfront site, with train lines running below grade. That led to the unusual and extraordinarily elegant form of the tower, which curves out to maximize views of the river and curves in at its base to accommodate the sweep of the train lines below. The boathouse that connects the public plaza to the river’s edge echoes that dichotomy between base and top, with a masonry-clad cascade of stairs covered by a large roof that seems to be in motion.

Wells Fargo Financial

Building Good Relationships

The Eighth Avenue Place project in Calgary (pp. 121 – 127) engages this dialectic in a different way. The sculpted, glass forms of the two towers evoke the rugged peaks of the Rocky Mountains visible from the downtown site, expressing the constancy of change in nature. The jagged lines along the towers’ façades also suggest the lines that snake their way up and down the profit and loss charts in the offices within, giving architectural form to the certainty and uncertainty of business.

The Pinnacle at Symphony Place

That expression of the complexity of organizations takes other forms in Pickard Chilton’s work as well. It comes across in the open-ended forms of projects like the ASD Office Development in São Paulo, Brazil (pp. 95 – 99); in the visually interpenetrating, reflective-glass corners of buildings such as 55 Allen Plaza in Atlanta (pp. 204 – 207); and in the rotating floors of the Cobalt Tower in Las Vegas (pp. 128 – 131). All of these projects offer different degrees of novelty within the conventions of high-rise residential and office buildings. Conventionality/Uniqueness Pickard Chilton also excels at balancing conventionality with uniqueness at an urban scale, evident in the first major commission the firm received. The design for CalPERS in Sacramento combines very efficient, well daylit office space with several extraordinary features that contribute to the quality of the urban life around it (pp. 333 – 353). The two U-shaped buildings, for example, embrace ample courtyards open to both employees and the public, while a large, glass-enclosed, lantern-like lobby provides a dramatic entry point and a memorable icon for the organization.

Orville L. Freeman Building

Pickard Chilton’s deep understanding of office building conventions enables it to focus resources on those aspects of projects that will most enhance their settings. In the Wells Fargo Financial project in Des Moines (pp. 243 – 253), the firm designed an efficient office building in keeping with the height and mass of the surrounding downtown. The savings realized by improved efficiency permitted the investment in amenities, such as the impressive bamboo-lined lobby that steps up to a luminous atrium or the glowing exterior wall wrapped in bands of sun-shading glass. Such features represent an investment in the life of their cities. Pickard Chilton occasionally refers to icons from the past, as in the office and retail complex in Nashville (pp. 178 – 189), The Pinnacle at Symphony Place, whose stepped top recalls the skyscrapers of the 1930s. The firm also will adhere closely to the conventions of office buildings in projects such as 24th at Camelback (pp. 138 – 143), whose standard shape has gentle curves that distinguish the complex from a distance.

US Environmental Protection Agency Headquarters

Openness/Privacy In every building, as in every human relationship, the balance of what we share and what we don’t depends on the situation. In the Orville L. Freeman Building in St. Paul (pp. 279–289), the light-colored masonry and low massing of the surrounding government buildings guided its form and cladding, while the sustainability objectives resulted in ample windows and a light-filled lobby and atriums. Pickard Chilton shows here how a building closed to the public can still remain open to the environment around it. This balance becomes equally apparent in the design for the US Environmental Protection Agency Headquarters in Arlington, Virginia (pp. 296 – 301). The building combines openness in its glassy ground floor and generous windows, with privacy and security in its controlled entrance and bollard-lined perimeter. At the same time, the building achieves progressive environmental goals, with a LEED-NC Gold rating, while respecting the more conservative aesthetics of its urban design district, with a somewhat classical treatment of its exterior. The design shows how caring for the natural environment and the character of a place go hand in hand.

1180 Peachtree

Building Good Relationships

The openness of American society also leads to projects such as ER One (pp. 302 – 305), a new facility for the Washington DC Hospital Center designed to respond to large-scale natural or man-made catastrophes. The building has rooftop heliports over extensive emergency room facilities, with a series of glass canopies that step down over large, light-filled holding areas able to handle sizable numbers of people awaiting treatment or transport to other facilities by vehicle or helicopter. Revelation/Concealment However open or closed a building may be physically, how much it reveals or conceals from the surrounding city depends upon its function and client goals. At The Pinnacle in Atlanta, Pickard Chilton caps the office building with an expansive, curved roof that hovers above the penthouse terraces, showing just enough to give passersby a sense of what life at the top might feel like.

Four Seasons Place

The firm further explored this idea in the 1180 Peachtree office tower, also in Atlanta (pp. 259 – 271). The building’s curtain wall curves past the roof, revealing the supporting structure behind the extended skin of the building and creating a light-filled space at the top of the structure expressing the energy going on in the offices below. Meanwhile, in Four Seasons Place, the twin hotel and residential towers in Kuala Lumpur (pp. 190 – 199), the architects play hide-and-seek by extending the curtain wall up to an internally lit, knife-like edge on all four sides, while pulling back the wall at the corners to expose balconies, revealing the life within. Even more dramatic is the BG Group Place office building in Houston (pp. 105 – 111), where the curtain wall is cut back at the base to reveal the lobby; that cut continues as a slot up the side of the building, culminating in a five-story atrium at the 39th floor that reveals the interior to the city’s skyline. Something similar occurs in the design of a luxury hotel and residential tower in Abu Dhabi (pp. 60 – 69). Its curtain wall peels back to disclose an atrium on the 14th floor, complete with a glass-walled pool, and terraces

BG Group Place

treated as deep slots in the curtain wall disclosing the location of the residential units. These buildings entice one to enter and to participate imaginatively in the life within them. In other Pickard Chilton buildings, revelation and concealment take on a more symbolic meaning. In the design for the Case Library at Colgate University (pp. 290 – 295), a glass winter garden is located on the roof of the building, which is accessible from the uphill side of the site and opens up the interior of the library to expose the activity within, encouraging students to use books in this era of digital media. The glowing rooftop form evokes the metaphorical light that goes on as we learn. Another project with layers of meaning is The Atrium, a high-rise residential development in Dubai (pp. 88 – 93). In response to urban design guidelines regarding view corridors, Pickard Chilton has cut a slot through the center of the building and wrapped an arch-like form above it. The building expresses with great elegance the mix of modernity and tradition that has come to characterize places like Dubai, engaging in revelation and concealment all at once.

Case Library, Colgate University

Situational Relationships The dialectics of Baxter and Montgomery may help us understand the give and take of relationships, but the work of Pickard Chilton shows something more. In one project after another, the firm demonstrates how the building of good relationships requires an intuitive feel for a situation, a sense of what is appropriate in a given place for a particular client, and how to translate that into a compelling and clearly understood architectural form. In that lies the real — and remarkable — talent of this firm.

Pickard Chilton’s buildings all share a distinctive modern grace. The elegance of our architecture is forged from our pursuit of disciplined solutions to a range of issues facing our clients and the world, not from any dogmatic approach. We herald the differences in our body of work with each building offering a pragmatic, artful expression of each client’s unique goals. Every project is designed with a degree of art and craft that affirms the transformative power and responsibility of architecture to improve the quality of the communities in which we work and live. The success of our design process, and by extension each project, is in how we thoughtfully consider, respond and adapt to the needs of each client and stakeholder. We take an open and collaborative approach to interacting with clients, favoring a process that thoroughly discovers each client’s unique objectives. Through probing, listening and communicating, we gain an understanding of our client’s needs and aspirations. In response, Pickard Chilton provides customized strategies to meet and exceed client needs. We invite our clients to actively participate in the process, discussing the pros and cons of each approach. As our team begins to understand the intentions for a project, we work to build a foundation of trust, confidence and teamwork. We are able to work meaningfully with our client towards a design that uniquely addresses their problem. The dynamic process of discovery in which we engage our clients also prevails within our studio. As members of a design team offer their perspective during both formal and informal review sessions, we continually challenge assumptions about what is possible. To the benefit of each design, Pickard Chilton encourages and taps into the energy, creativity and passion of everyone in our studio as well as the client and the team of consulting specialists and contractors. We regularly work closely with experts in fields such as construction, sustainable design, building systems design and structural engineering who share our belief in a common pursuit of excellence in architecture and the built environment. We use the latest 3-D computer modeling technologies to study and communicate our ideas. We first apply these technologies to gain a comprehensive understanding of the proposed site, often making detailed physical models of the project’s site and surroundings. These models help to shape design alternatives. Throughout the design process, we use models to study problems and propose solutions ranging from the building massing to curtain wall or details of the exterior and interior. Through the interplay of ideas from team members and the latest software, we refine the design, narrowing the focus on the details and then zooming back out to test the newly refined part against the whole. We continue to test our design choices in this way until we achieve an integrated resolution of form and function. We seek artful design strategies and materials appropriate to perform at the highest level. Our firm has effectively used this process of investigation and discovery to design environmentally sensitive, efficient and innovative architecture across the globe. In doing so, we have earned our reputation as a nimble, responsive firm that offers our clients measurable advantages in workforce satisfaction, high tenancy rates and commercial rents, and energy-efficiency. As local press and users attest, our designs also advocate a higher standard of civic architecture by respectfully engaging and enhancing the greater community that each building serves. For Pickard Chilton, this level of architecture is possible only when we have earned the respect of our client and entered into a relationship that we expect to endure throughout the design and construction process and beyond. The long-term gratification we and our clients receive from this collaborative approach is very special, and for Pickard Chilton, our most important measure of success.

The Auditorium at Devon Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Devon Energy commissioned the design of the Auditorium as a part of its new world headquarters, gracing the neighborhood between Oklahoma City’s business and arts districts with an important civic amenity. A delicate, glass-enclosed skybridge connects the headquarters to the Auditorium’s second level. The 300-seat auditorium supports the downtown’s renaissance, offering a venue for both private and public events, with acoustics designed to serve a range of musical performances. Pickard Chilton created an intimately scaled gathering hall with a transparency that connects interior events to the surrounding neighborhood, making passersby aware of the activity within. From its position in a landscaped garden, the Auditorium allows dramatic views of downtown and the adjacent city park, Myriad Gardens. A double-height lobby with a 38-foot angled glass wall projects out toward the street, accentuating the Auditorium’s public profile. At the entrance, a bank of skylights creates a curtain of daylight above the main stair. The use of warm woods and soft lighting in the seating area enhances the user’s experience, as does a striking view to the garden.

1500 Post Oak Boulevard Houston, Texas

Complementing and completing the adjacent Four Oaks Place, owned by TIAA-CREF and designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates, 1500 Post Oak Boulevard creates a new focal point for the development and defines a fresh southern edge along the complex’s central garden. The office tower also serves as the main entry for the development and welcomes visitors with a spacious, naturally lit lobby. At night, the prismatic crown atop the building reveals the building’s presence in the Houston skyline. Seven levels of parking serve the building’s Class-A office space. The efficient floor plates conserve resources and lend themselves to convenient planning and office space management by tenants. The tower design includes numerous sustainable features, and is expected to achieve LEED-CS Gold certification. For example, a glass curtain wall clads the tower, articulated by a delicate screen of sunshades that reduce heat gain from the Texas sun, while bringing a more intimate scale to the building.

Eighth Avenue Place Calgary, Alberta

In Calgary’s growing and increasingly cosmopolitan downtown, Eighth Avenue Place covers nearly an entire city block. The sloping planes of the asymmetrical towers draw upon Calgary’s spectacular natural setting, forming a dynamic composition against the Rocky Mountains that inspired them.

24th at Camelback Phoenix, Arizona

This new complex combines a central location, graceful composition and environmentally sensitive design to create a new benchmark for mixed-use office development in Phoenix. The complex occupies a prominent site at the heart of the rapidly developing Camelback commercial corridor. There, it shelters an urban park, lushly planted-in palm trees and other desert-loving species, and lined with restaurants and shaded arcades. Below-grade parking improves the experience of both the buildings’ tenants and all pedestrians in the area. Flexible design allowed the 24th at Camelback development to be built in two phases. After the successful completion of the 8-story Camelback I, the 11-story Camelback II was developed. Both buildings feature sleek, curved-front façades and expansive windows that maximize dramatic views of Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak. At the same time, the design incorporates a shading brise-soleil at every level and reflective, specially-coated glass to minimize heat gain from the strong Phoenix sunlight.

ConocoPhillips West Campus Houston, Texas

Expanding the facilities at ConocoPhillips’ extensive corporate campus in Houston required sensitive responses to the existing complex. The design takes its cues from the existing three-story campus constructed in the 1980s, while creating a streamlined new architecture that conveys the bright promise of the future at ConocoPhillips. The new building also hints at the updated workplace inside, which shares the modern, glassy and open look of the façades. New amenities include a central reception area, multiple conference and meeting facilities, and a fitness center. A double-height, glazed rotunda encloses the reception area, flooding it with daylight. A central courtyard programmed with audio-visual capabilities hosts company-wide events. The courtyard also offers dining courts, garden courts and water features for the pleasure of employees and visitors alike. Nearly all of the 3000 campus employees and some retirees take advantage of the popular fitness center’s numerous amenities: an indoor swimming pool, a gymnasium, four aerobics studios, cardio and strength training rooms, a wellness center, locker rooms and a snack bar.

Bloomington Central Station Bloomington, Minnesota

The new Light Rail Transit System connecting to downtown Minneapolis occasioned the planning of this ambitious, transit-oriented development. From the apartment homes, hotel and corporate office buildings of Bloomington Central Station, residents and visitors can easily reach Minneapolis, St. Paul and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. In collaboration with the planning firm EDAW, Pickard Chilton evaluated the complex site and developed the scheme for a dense, urban hub that accommodates considerable traffic and parking while protecting the pedestrian experience. Multiple master planning schemes analyzed the location, phasing and orientation of each building. Concepts for three separate office and hotel sites were designed consistent with the master plan. Each presents a unique identity while blending with the larger development and accommodating height restrictions imposed by the nearby Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Orville L. Freeman Building St. Paul, Minnesota

The warm radiance of the Freeman Building for the Minnesota Departments of Agriculture and Health reflects both the timeless beauty of Minnesota’s agricultural landscape and the surrounding formal architecture of the Capitol District. The warm, light qualities of the building continue indoors where a sky-lit atrium and windows maximize natural lighting. That and other sustainable design strategies render the building physically — as well as aesthetically — true to the missions of its occupants. The Freeman Building addressed the many complex demands of its prominent site. The design achieved its light, open quality while addressing government security concerns. Capitol District guidelines influenced the building’s massing, while neighboring historic buildings informed its character. The building’s fenestration, entrances and circulation patterns consider neighboring buildings, a proposed light rail transit station to the east and the adjacent, associated laboratory. The closure of Columbus Street allowed for an urban plaza linking the laboratory and the Freeman Building.

ER One Washington, DC

The Office of Emergency Preparedness envisions ER One as the nation’s first medical facility designed to cope with the results of large-scale catastrophes, including acts of biological or chemical terrorism. The Washington Hospital Center, already home to the capital’s largest emergency department, serving several hundred patients daily, will host ER One. The project anticipates conditions in which patient-care spaces that normally handle a standard number of emergency patients would transition to handle thousands of severely injured patients. In addition to providing fast, flexible care to patients, ER One will have the capacity to serve large numbers of patients by vehicle and helicopter. ER One is intended as a prototype that hospitals and trauma centers across the nation might emulate in order to increase their capacity to respond to large-scale calamity.
