facility managers and other team members throughout a building’s life cycle. Because each team member can access and share the same data, BIM binds design and construction teams together into a unified entity focused on the client’s best interests.

BIM represents much more than a technology transition. For HOK, it’s a paradigm shift away from traditional 2D drafting methods to the integrated processes made possible by this technology. We’re using building information modeling technology to design, assemble and operate prototypes of buildings long before the team breaks ground on a site.

By enabling project teams to test ideas and life cycle concepts before construction, BIM helps us achieve previously unattainable goals for quality, speed of delivery, energy consumption, sustainability and cost.

TD AMERITR ADE

Omaha, Nebraska

HEADQUARTERS

4 L E E D - N C V 3 P L AT I N U M

550,000 sq. ft.

With a desire to collocate its corporate, technology and operations groups housed in multiple locations across Omaha and to improve efficiencies and collaboration, TD Ameritrade turned to HOK for the design of this high-tech, fully-redundant, sustainable headquarters. The high-performance building envelope and simple geometry of the design was driven by the specific desires of the organization and geography of the site, which houses 1,900 employees on its corporate campus.

To increase interaction, the Technology and Operations Center contains work spaces that are combined with the training and technology facilities. The facility is not hardened; but is able to to remain fully-operational due to the employment of multiple redundancies including UPS, emergency generators and dual utility feeds which results in the facility’s ability to withstand power outages without disruption. The contiguous 75,000 sq. ft. floor plate accommodates large work groups and is a flexible, open plan enabling the client to adapt the space to reflect evolving workplace needs. Edged by the architecture of the podium and the tower is a 1.25 acre lush garden surface that connects the lobby and main circulation path to the dining/event pavilion. Other amenities include an indoor/outdoor fitness facility, strolling paths to promote activity and a storm shelter for adverse weather conditions.

Sustainable features include an innovative rain-screen faÇade, grey water and enclosure systems, extensive day-lighting, green roof, solar thermal panel installations, wind turbines, eco-friendly flooring material and recycled and/or rapidly renewable building materials including the building’s interior vented insulation which is comprised of recycled denim.

BBC NEW BROADCASTING HOUSE

London, UK 484,375 sq. ft.

HEADQUARTERS

New Broadcasting House provided the BBC with a new Headquarters within the heart of central London. Conceived as an opportunity to consolidate national and international journalism, this 484, 375sq ft state of the art media centre will be home to nearly 6,000 staff and the largest Newsroom in Europe.

Occupying such a prime location in central London, the aspiration was to create a series of inviting and educational spaces some of which, would be open to the public. Together with the client the design team produced a range of innovative solutions to meet with a constantly evolving brief. Aligned with strict Section 106 objectives and increased security concerns, HOK implemented a number of enhancements to the public spaces on the ground floor, integrating the latest technology to showcase BBC output and create an exciting and informative public destination.

Cutting edge technology and a desire for the building to be constantly ‘on air’ meant a clear understanding of BBC aspirations and focus on brand was essential from the outset. As the design evolved it became increasingly important to ensure that both the public spaces and on floor areas strongly supported the ethos and brand ideals of the BBC whilst recognising the diversity of departments throughout the building.

Stamford, Connecticut 270,000 sq. ft.

HEADQUARTERS

HOK New York was retained by Starwood Hotels and Resorts to create comprehensive new workplace standards as well as a detailed space program for their headquarters facility. Two occupancy scenarios were developed with different densities to compare occupancy alternatives and test various market variables. This effort established Starwood’s vision for a future workplace. It involved the collection and analysis of data through interviews, site visits and observation. Based on workplace research findings and a thorough understanding of Starwood’s work activities and industry benchmarks, space standards were established for workstations, offices and shared and support spaces.

The new standards result in space savings, increased collaboration and flexibility. In addition to the new workspace, the headquarters design includes model rooms for the Starwood brands, design studios to work with franchisees in developing concepts, executive offices and a conference center. It is important for Starwood to have a welcoming environment for the brand executives who frequently visit the headquarters. These spaces become places to develop, refine and test new concepts that keep the Starwood brands in the forefront of hotel design.

4 LEED - CI GOLD

270,000 sq. ft.

Avon’s objective for their new headquarters was to create a contemporary environment that speaks the Avon brand, promotes collaboration and reduces its footprint. To meet these goals, HOK and Avon developed new space standards that simplify the office and workstation configuration while providing flexibility for future organizational changes. Collaborative spaces range from communal pantries for informal interaction, conference rooms with integrated AV, and a Telepresence video conference facility that connects Avon associates around the globe. In addition to a flexible workplace, the program incorporates special spaces, including: jewelry design studio, photo studio, image room and company store.

Avon wanted the space to reflect the heritage of the company, look to the future and be both beautiful and feminine. Within the reception area, walls are a glossy mix of pearlescent cream, silver and taupe to evoke feminine beauty. Products are artfully displayed in a ‘white box’ area that draws in the viewer. Within the workspace, lustrous dark wood floors and charcoal grey carpeting contrast with delicately shimmering white walls. Avon’s brand color, magenta, is applied strategically to add a sense of sophisticated drama appropriate for a beauty company.

C A R N I VA L U K

Southampton, UK 140,000 sq. ft.

HEADQUARTERS

Cruise operator, Carnival UK, consolidated their 1,200 staff from five different locations to a single 140,000 sq ft UK headquarters office building in Southampton overlooking the docks. HOK Workplace Consultants advised Carnival throughout their relocation process on the type and size of building they should occupy and on their vision and strategy. The options were evaluated commercially and due diligence and technical appraisals were carried out. Once Carnival House had been selected HOK carried out another series of briefing sessions regarding those base build components that could be enhanced to meet operational needs. Balconies were added with linking staircases, underfloor heating and augmented lighting were provided and a 60m long roof terrace overlooking the river was created to customise the building for the client.

Carnival had always operated with an “on ship” hierarchical environment with offices provided for a certain pay grade and above. To reflect the true culture of the organisation they decided to adopt a 100% open plan policy, including their board of management. To help the back of house staff experience a little of what the passengers see on their cruises, a ”Water“ concept, that was common to all Carnival brands, was used. Floors were named after Oceans or Seas and meeting rooms after ports in those respective geographies. In each case a full height graphic depicted an experience that a cruise customer would have when visiting the port in question. Navigational charts were used in the conference suites, each one depicting the approach the port was named after.

HEADQUARTERS

4 LEED -NC GOLD

500,000 sq. ft.

HOK was retained by an international consulting company for their phased headquarters relocation in New York City. The new office is located at a landmarked mid-town high-rise with expansive 360 degree views. The main reception area welcomes visitors with stunning southern exposure, including an unobstructed view of the Empire State Building and downtown Manhattan. The project’s major challenge is its low ceiling height; HOK’s solution was to celebrate the building’s pre-war history by cladding the ceiling with gypsum board, creating a coffered effect that adds 24” of additional height. Working with the company’s existing workplace standards, the HOK team maximized views and daylight with glass-front offices divided by neighborhoods of workstations, which allows daylight to flood the entire floor. The warm neutral palette of the office is also based on the company’s workplace standards. In this location HOK applied an additional layer of branding to the collaborative spaces with lush accents of color in the carpet, wall, and textiles finishes.

Newark, New Jersey 400,000 sq.ft.

Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey approached HOK with plans to renovate and redesign their 400,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Newark. Horizon wanted to rethink their real estate strategy and create a more modern environment in which they could offer their employess the option of working remotely.

HOK worked with Horizon BCBSNJ to figure out the metrics around their mobility program and its impact on both the amount and type of space they would require. Following an extensive programming phase to understand the impact mobility would have on the organization, HOK crafted a communication strategy that not only promoted these changes, but also helped employees understand the new program and space.

HOK developed a new set of workplace standards for open and private offices and created touchdown zones on each floor for mobile employees. A new palette for finishes and a graphics program celebrate and reinforce the Horizon brand throughout the space, while also promoting health and wellness.

500,000 sq. ft.

LG Electronics, Inc. commissioned HOK to design a new North America Headquarters building in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, about two miles from the existing headquarters. HOK Advance Strategies was brought onto the team in order to conduct a programming study that would provide the functional and area requirements for the new facility.

The Program of Requirements (POR) for LG will be the basis of the building design, and will also serve as record of the decision-making process. The decision to construct a new headquarters facility was driven by the need for a larger space along with the desire to showcase LG’s innovative electronics technology.

While the visibility of this new landmark will be an important component of the design requirements, practicality will remain the driving factor to maintain the costs within budget.

CONFIDENTIAL INSUR ANCE CLIENT

Lansing, Michigan 324,000 sq. ft.

H E A D Q U A R T E R S R E N O VAT I O N + A D D I T I O N

The seven-acre site, formerly home to a coal-burning electricity generation plant, will be the new home to a confidential insurance client located in Michigan. The offices will be housed within the historic building and in a new addition that will complement the original structure, set to house about 1,200 employees.

The design team which includes HOK, Tower Pinkster and Quinn Evans, wanted to preserve the industrial character of the structure, which was originally constructed in 1939. The building sits on a polished black granite water table base, has concrete floors and brick walls and still houses an operating freight elevator. A critical component of the work will be the structural reconfiguration of the existing steel to provide interior floor plates. The building will have 10 office floors plus the conversion of the basement level into parking. The new addition will be three stories, constructed above the 100-year floodplain with an atrium forming a gracious entry with views of the river.

Functional aspects of the building will include a service center, to field incoming claims calls, and social spaces and meeting rooms to accommodate collaboration while maintaining an open-space environment and exposure to natural daylight. The project is pursuing LEED certification. and applying to be placed on the National Historic Registry.

BMW

Woodcliff, New Jersey 220,000 sq. ft.

TRAINING AND ENGINEERING CENTER

The BMW automobile is respected around the world as the superb achievement in automotive engineering and design. Indeed, for those who own and drive one it is a work of art. The HOK Team believes that at BMW’s new Technical Training and Engineering Center, this achievement should be celebrated: the focal point of experience at this location and within these buildings must be the BMW product. Accordingly, the HOK design places BMW automobiles and motorcycles on center stage. Our design organizes the buildings in a clear hierarchy: Technical Training Institute Building, JRR Building, and Research and Engineering Building. This hierarchy is composed around a Great Lawn which serves as the outdoor corporate space for gatherings and events, as the site of a potential new cafeteria, and as a display field for the promotion of BMW’s line of automobiles.

The geometries of the architecture and master plan are those of a rational precision, reflecting the superb engineering tradition of BMW. In addition, our vision values the most fragile topographic and bio-diverse areas of the site, preserving them as a natural asset to BMW and to the ecosystem of the community. HOK’s vision reinforces BMW’s architectural principals by adhering to a modular and orthogonal approach towards design, in contrast with the sumptuous lines of the automobile. The architectural forms are generated by a strict conformance to the program and adjacencies while our sustainable design approach has informed the architectural design to maximize natural daylighting and opportunities for natural ventilation.
