Veterans Administration Medical Center Community Living Center, Washington, DC
Situated within an active hospital environment at the Washington VA Medical Center, this project encompasses interior renovations to an existing 50,000 sf Community Living Center (CLC) and a new 9,000 sf one-story addition to house the Hospice Home. The new Hospice Home will provide 12 private resident bedrooms and supporting areas with direct connections to the existing CLC’s core facility. Interior renovations include new finishes throughout the existing CLC with limited reconfiguration of existing spaces to integrate the new addition into the existing facility while maintaining a 120-bed capacity. This new design takes full advantage of the view of the United States Capital Building by orienting both the second story healing garden and the one and a half story multi-purpose room due south. The new multipurpose room layout is functionally flexible and includes lounges with fire places and a large expanse of glass that frames the Capital Building.

Eastern Maine Health Care
Brewer Professional Office Building, Brewer, Maine
This 142,000 sq.ft. building houses outpatient facilities, clinical and administrative personnel for a regional medical center in central Maine. The building is the first of four which, when completed, will create a complex totaling more than 450,000 sq.ft. for administrative, outpatient, clinical, and research space. This building, along with the other three buildings in the complex will connect to a circular core, providing conferencing and dining facilities, allowing easy access between each facility and sharing of several core program areas. In keeping with the goal of Eastern Maine Healthcare, the building utilizes floor-toceiling windows to bring the outside in and share natural light through the entire building. This natural light also floods the two-story entrance lobby, creating an inviting space that will appeal to future professionals. The layout of each floor is similar, with repetitive bay sizes, central utility and service core, and large open areas which can be fit out as needed by various departments, and are flexible to accommodate changing needs.

All Architects Design... We Create.... Design is a problem-solving process and is most successful when approaching a problem systematically. Architects tend to design by collecting ideas and skills through listening, sketching and testing where eventually a particular problem will become the focus of the architects’ design solutions. Creativity, on the other hand, is a quality that is highly valued but not always well understood. We believe it has to do with design flexibility and imagination where the process is more spontaneous, expressive and less inhibited – one where we tend to first trust our own judgment and ideas and are not afraid of trying something new.

MPM worked with the various property owners and Maryland National Park and Planning staff in the planning of a multifamily residential and mixeduse facility. The project goals were to develop a schematic design that provided the greatest utility and value to the current property owners. MPM, through a process of design refinements and a careful mix of residential units, produced a development which eliminated all curb cuts from the state road thereby reducing traffic impacts and lobbied the local government to install new pedestrian only access and two signalized crosswalks to ensure safe passage for school and library patrons.

Bialek Environments Rockville, MD
MPM provided the design-build delivery of a 10,240 sf corporate interior build-out for a high-end office furnishings provider. Starting as shell space, the Mimar Ponte Mellor (MPM) design-build team evaluated the client program and created a staffing matrix to determine space needs. Working with the building owner and tenant, a preliminary budget was established prior to design completion. The design-build team established completion milestones and carefully monitored the project schedule and costs so that the clients’ expectations and contractual delivery dates were met. The project was to be the first completed tenant space in a newly completed building shell. It was expected that the tenant space would be the showcase project for future tenants. Thus, it was critical that best practices by the design-build team be employed. The design-build team was required to coordinate all base building work and document such to LEED standards for eventual certification to a minimum of Silver level.

DMI - Headquarters Bethesda, DC
DMI proposed to lease approximately 19,000 rentable square feet on the 11th floor of Crystal Park 5 in Arlington, Virginia. The landlord, Vornado, provided a tenant improvement allowance for the project. The test fit dated 8/07/12 (approx. 14,000 Rsf) is understood to be generally acceptable for the north side of the lease space. On 8/31/12, DMI requested that a new test fit be prepared to include the additional approximately 5000 rsf on the south side of the lease space. The new test fit will be prepared as part of our services included in this proposal. DMI has requested that a minimum of 85 staff members be accommodated in a 19,000 sf lease area.
