ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

We think critically and creatively about how beautiful designs can perform better for their users, owners, and the planet. Our Integrated Design approach involves collaborating with clients and industry partners to explore project performance goals and options early in the design process to ensure that sustainability, resilience, and energy savings are holistically weaved into the design vision. As signatories of the AIA 2030 Commitment and experts in sustainable building practices, our firm prioritizes reducing our carbon footprint, waste production, and nonrenewable resource consumption.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

We believe that the quality of our work is stronger when it’s influenced by and catered to the experiences of many people. Our firm thrives on the unique diversity of communities our projects serve and colorful backgrounds of our team members, who come to us from around the word.As such, we strive to incorporate the views and needs of all demographics and user groups in our work. With each project, we investigate the ethical, physical, economic and cultural implications of our design decisions on the community, environment, end users, and industry, guided by a goal of improving our world with each move we make.

Culture

The word culture represents our passion to pursue that which represents the unique qualities of a given project. Our core belief is that understanding people and their culture lies at the heart of strong design thinking. We believe an organization’s culture defines its unique offerings; it is what sets every project apart and it is our passion to find it, invoke it, and realize it in built form.

Culture is the catalyst for all we do.

SO HOW DO WE DO IT?

We seek clarity of concept before anything else.

We are driven by a search for curated architectural outcomes through research-based client engagement. We strive to not only elicit a “wow” factor in our designs but also to reveal the genuine spirit of a people and place, thus arriving at a design solution befitting that specific environment. We don’t just craft solutions derived from traditional design elements. Material choice is informed by vernacular landscapes; massing is informed by nextdoor neighbors; color is informed by emotional connections.

WHY DO WE USE THIS APPROACH?

There’s a natural tendency to spend more energy making a building meaningful when we understand the end user wholly, and what they represent and need. We spend concentrated time revealing our client’s project desires, while continually assessing and tuning the culture inside our own firm.

Our portfolio is intentionally diverse. We seek out new challenges that help us grow and cultivate new skills and expertise. As an organization, we don’t adhere to a top-down org chart. Rather, we think of our firm as an inclusive circle where a Junior Associate has as much design influence as a Principal. Ours is an environment where people enjoy the art of the design process, where they can continually learn and grow, and where exploration is encouraged. Ours is a culture of curiosity.

Campus Design Excellence

With a rich history of collaborating with colleges and universities nationwide, CJ+C understands the diverse needs of educational facilities to sustain growth and enhance their reputation as cuttingedge institutions. Our interdisciplinary team works closely with clients to create enriching campus experiences, always mindful of budgetary considerations, ensuring that our solutions maximize impact without compromising quality.

In our approach to campus development, we prioritize each project with a focus on the heart of higher education: the students . Crafting spaces that cultivate connection and community stand as a cornerstone for fostering dynamic campus life. This commitment is evident in our designs, which prioritize adaptable spaces for thermal comfort, customizing amenity spaces to cater to diverse needs, and integrating native site features seamlessly for passive design elements, ensuring a harmonious environment. We create inclusive campus communities with ample opportunities for living, learning, and socializing, by acknowledging the interconnectedness of community, social, and educational aspects. Furthermore, we recognize the importance of integrating graphic design, wayfinding, and signage across campuses, not only to enhance navigation but also to visually reflect the unique identity of the institution.

As building industry leaders, we recognize our role in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, especially in dense, dynamic environments like college campuses. Our design ethos prioritizes reducing resource consumption, enhancing well-being, optimizing performance, and elevating quality of life. From the outset, we align sustainability and design goals, treating them as a unified front. As signatories of the AIA 2030 Commitment, we advocate for net-zero energy and carbonneutral buildings through passive and active design strategies, mindful material procurement, and thorough site analysis. Our environmental impact also extends beyond the building envelope by integrating landscapes functionality with native plantings, rain gardens, filtration, and retention systems that are designed with flood zone analysis and community-centered placemaking in mind. This holistic approach merges environmental stewardship with people-first design, simultaneously fostering ecological awareness and social connection.

UC SAN DIEGO

North Campus Housing

The design goal of the new UC San Diego Village at Torrey Pines East Complex was to foster the feel of a small community town within the larger UC San Diego campus. With eco-friendly, energyefficient buildings and vital open spaces for recreation, the dynamic layout took into consideration the needs and desires of students and their lifestyles.

Clarity of access to the various buildings is easily identified from a main internal pedestrian spine called “The Strand” which cuts diagonally through the seven building complex. This experiential walk – lined by amenities including the dining “Bistro,” study rooms, vending areas, laundry facilities and administrative offices – connects the high-rise housing at the north end to “The Market” and administration offices at the south end. Public open spaces continue vertically in rooftop terraces on both low and high-rise buildings, which are equipped with A/V capabilities and barbecues for entertainment.

The primary components of the 7-building complex include one 13-story housing tower and four low rise ‘eco flats’, consisting of 148 units and 807 beds; the “Bistro” with a kitchen, fine dining and meeting rooms; the “Market” with a market place, produce and deli; a community laundry room; 7,600 SF of retail space at street level. The eco-flats weave together with a series of cantilevered walkways that connect via exterior stairs and elevators.

PITZER COLLEGE

Student Residences 1

The LEED Gold residential complex on Pitzer College’s campus supports the school’s environmental commitment by encouraging a local lifestyle, enabling students to shrink their carbon footprints by taking advantage of the community amenities.

Single- and double-room suites, comprising 318 beds, are included in four 3- and 4-story buildings. Ground and second floor plans are similar, while third floor units have vaulted ceilings and bay windows.

The single loaded exterior corridors provide visual links to the courtyard while providing natural ventilation for each individual unit.

At each corner entry point are the faculty suites and residence assistants to provide enhanced security and encourage student/teacher interaction. Faculty suites also contain exterior patios for informal classes or discussion with double height volume interior spaces. Facility features include entry gates and portals reminiscent of the existing gates throughout the adjacent Claremont campus, cultural corridors, a courtyard gallery, a Pitzer vision wall, art studios, community patios and terraces, and indoor living/dining spaces.

Student Residences 2

After successfully completing Phase 1, Carrier Johnson was commissioned to design Phase 2 of Pitzer’s three phased longterm housing master plan which seeks to increase residential capacity to 93% of the student body. Key to delivering design suited to the Pitzer student lifestyle is student involvement in the early planning process. A list of students’ top priorities emerged through outreach by the Pitzer Residential Life Committee, involving one-to-one discussion, email correspondence, and a town meeting to gather input for Phase 2.

Top themes included the desire for suite-style room arrangements, support of student art display within the buildings, enhanced common/social space (indoor and outdoor) and continued progress toward sustainable living.

Elements successful in Phase 1 are also implemented in Phase 2. Like its Phase 1 predecessor, Phase 2 includes shaded porches, cozy meeting nooks, and eco-conscious design. Single- and double-room suites, comprising 308 beds, are housed in four 3-story and 4-story buildings, with a bed-to-bath ratio of 1 bath for every 4 beds. Ground and 2nd floor plans are similar, while 3rd floor units have vaulted ceilings and bay windows. The single loaded exterior corridors provide visual links to the courtyard and “flow thru” ventilation for the units.

CLAREMONT GRADUATE UNIVERSITY

Graduate Student Housing

Located on the University’s 5.2-acre site north of the main campus, the Graduate University Housing complex is surrounded by a golf course, botanical gardens, a school of theology, and private residences. Because an earthquake fault runs through the property, the buildings are positioned on 1.5 buildable acres. The balance is a park-like setting with sports fields and a pedestrian connection from the neighboring residences to the botanical gardens.

The three-story, five-building apartment complex involves a mix of studios and one- and two-bedroom units totaling 235 beds. Amenities include a lounge/study area with wireless internet, laundry facilities, administrative/maintenance offices and a secure outdoor children’s play area. The buildings are arranged with a series of public and semiprivate courtyard spaces enclosed within a secure perimeter.

The design complements the local vernacular with wood siding and stone exterior finishes.

Park 12

Carrier Johnson + Culture crafted plans to develop and build up the area surrounding Petco Park to instill this entertainment district with live, work, and play opportunities. Our plans scaled in scope, dialing into details such as sidewalk pavers and plantings to make popular 5th Avenue more safe and enjoyable for pedestrians, and dialed out to look at massing and volume of new mid- and high-rise buildings.

To the east of the Park, our plan provided options for building up the masses abutting 5th Avenue, placing larger and taller buildings closer to the commercial area of Broadway. We also envisioned ways to make 5th Avenue more pedestrian and cyclist centric so as to grow into a woonerf-inspired promenade.

To the west of the Park, Ballpark Village is a collection of vertical neighborhoods; a variety of residences offer views of the city, park, and bay, have terraces and neighborhood art, and are connected by elevated walkways. Seven acres have already been developed to add over 700 residential units and 55,000 SF of ground level retail.

Luma

LUMA is a high-rise multifamily tower located right at the southern edge of Little Italy and bordering the Columbia neighborhood with close proximity to the San Diego Bay. The client enlisted Carrier Johnson + Culture to design a 24-story mixed-use tower that would fully capitalize on the site’s potential and maximize views of the water and city. As this was a dense urban site, the design team had to find playful formal solutions to create views that peak over and around the immediate surrounding context.

Because of its prominent corner location, it was also important that this project represent Little Italy’s neighborhood identity and positively contribute to a bustling and artistic urban character. To respond appropriately to its two adjacent neighborhoods, the massing of the tower was conceived as two interlocking elements: a proud glass jewel box anchors the corner of Ash and Columbia overlooking the downtown skyline and a second shorter mass relates closer to the Little Italy neighborhood with playful geometries and formal elements. The meeting of these two urban relationships would also be conveyed through the building’s articulated facade. The team developed a distinct architectural language to represent the major urban forces at play.

Shift

Carrier Johnson + CULTURE designed Lennar Multifamily Communities’ new multi-family residential development “Shift” located at 460 16th Street in the East Village of San Diego. The 21-story tower and five-story mid-rise features 368 studio, one- and two bedroom apartments and 19,000 square feet of commercial space. The high profile tower, sculpturally ascending 253 feet high, features a primary entrance lobby at street level.

Soaring 21 stories high, the iconic sculptural element portrays a rustic style design unique to the East Village local environment and the San Diego skyline, adding vibrancy to the streets of the “edgier” side of East Village.

Located on the frontage of Island Street, four blocks east of the historic Gaslamp District and Petco Park, the site is ideally located in proximity to the most popular retail and entertainment venues in San Diego.

Capitalizing on these adjacencies, the residential tower vertically integrates a 20 story mix of dwelling apartment units and a 5 story podium consisting of 4 stories of residential apartments floating above ground level destination retail and restaurants, with a subterranean parking garage underneath.

The Village at Totem Lake

The Totem Lake business district is the largest district in the City of Kirkland, Washington. As part of the area’s revitalization, Carrier Johnson served as Architect for the redevelopment of the Totem Lake Upper Mall originally constructed in 1973. Winner of the Governor’s Smart Communities Award, CJ+C created a pedestrian-friendly sustainable urban village with direct access to Totem Lake Park and the Cross-Kirkland Corridor.

Planning with a pedestriancentered focus meant integrating easy-to-access housing, shopping, and entertainment for a walkable lifestyle. A new urban promenade now centers the village and leads towards a green plaza and visitors driving into the village are welcomed with accessible parallel and angled street parking, making it easy to walk, shop, or visit the park.

Building heights vary throughout the design and are plated with a range of materials and colors to create visual variety. The ground floor is dedicated to retail tenants whose variety of brands and styles create an engaging street plinth; their street frontages boast wide sidewalks with plantings and street parking for visiting patrons, making it easy to park, walk, shop, and visit Totem Lake. A new urban promenade now centers the village and leads towards a green plaza accented with hard and softscapes.

Midway District Master Plan

SANDAG, in cooperation with the US Navy, employed Carrier Johnson + Culture to design a new regional transportation hub and mixed use community in support of a new state-of-the-art NAVWAR Facility. The scope of the design effort was to prepare a visionary master plan as the basis for or against recommendation to decision makers on how to best develop this underutilitzed piece of land.

The master plan along with yield analysis, budget estimates and market study was prepared to find the balance of value and cost to public and private development. The master plan looked at the industrial history of the site, the nexus of multiple lines of transportation, and the future of the midway district in order to best recommend potential uses that would maximize the use of the land.

The vision of the project is the creation of a mixed use regional transportation hub serving San Diego County residents and visitors from around the world. This hub would link rail, airport, bus and auto modes of transportation under one roof. The hub will become an anchor for a new neighborhood while creating a high tech naval facility for the 21st century. At the same time, the project would be a catalysis for redevelopment of the Midway District’s outdated land uses currently occupied by worn-out commercial strip centers and obsolete industrial buildings.

Campus Feasibility Study & Master Plan

Carrier Johnson + Culture was commissioned to prepare a feasibility study for the consolidation of National University’s academic campuses and offices. We work with City Development offices to influence creative zoning solutions which support the goals of the community while also being supported by the business wishing to grow and expand in the area. Our model is guiding the City to grant zoning for the new National University campus that reaches far beyond expectations. While the typical scenario would have only resulted in an incremental increase from .5 FAR to 2 FAR, our interventions will result in 5 FAR. The increase in value to the property owner is substantial and the benefit to the City in terms of revenues from property taxes and sales taxes and gains in accessible public space is significant as well.

Hoytt Street Yards

The draw to the riverfront and the tradition of great parks and squares has long been the inspiration for making the public realm in downtown Portland. An unexpected desire to connect with the outdoors in this rain filled city has made urban living an art form.

As urban pioneers stretch the city north across the old rail yards, a string of urban parks will once again draw people to the riverfront. Life along this system of parks with be marked by the addresses of residents. A collaboration between locals and visitors will be formed as they enjoy the retail experience that lines the boardwalk along the parks’ edge.

Architecture in this creative environment will be experienced as “Sculpture in the Park”; basic forms derived from the historic vernacular combine with sculptural forms that reflect functions within the building to create an architecture that is both grounded in the city and expressive of the unique setting.
