FIRM PROFILE

SIEGEL & STRAIN ARCHITECTS design places that engage and inspire people.

A few simple design principles guide our approach to every project:

› Great projects are tied to place and tuned to climate;

› Sustainable design is a fundamental aspect of good design;

› Simple, elegant, and well-crafted design has staying power;

› Close collaboration leads to better buildings and stronger communities. We have worked with extraordinary clients over the last 35 years on a wide variety of projects, master planning large sites, and designing new buildings and rehabilitation, adaptive reuse, and historic preservation projects. Many have been recognized with awards for design excellence, innovation in sustainable design, historic preservation, and research that sets new standards for our profession.

DESIGN FOR LIVING | We bring simplicity, economy, ecology, and elegance to the design of our houses and housing projects. From zero-net energy homes and live/work lofts, to affordable and market-rate apartments, to camp cabins and dormitories, our residential projects are designed to create comfortable living spaces, connected to place, climate, and community. Projects have encompassed interior and exterior renovation, new projects, and adaptive reuse of other building types into housing.

DESIGN FOR COMMUNITY | Community projects are an investment in community values. Our civic projects are collaborative community-wide efforts that build consensus and support, and embody community aspirations. This kind of community engagement has led to buildings – city halls, libraries and community centers – that communities cherish and make their own.

DESIGN FOR LEARNING | Students spend as much as half their waking hours in educational facilities. We work closely with educators to design projects – daycare facilities, K-12 schools, university buildings, and environmental education centers – that enhance educational opportunities and make every project a teaching tool, an integral part of an environmental stewardship curriculum.

DESIGN FOR RETREAT & RECREATION | We apply our expertise in site-sensitive and low-impact master planning and building design to the kind of places where people come together to learn, play, and build community – outdoor learning centers, camps and retreat centers, visitor centers, and recreational facilities.

DESCRIPTION

Union Sanitary District has embarked on the Enhanced Treatment and Site Upgrade (ETSU) Program, a multi-phased project to upgrade the wastewater treatment plant that serves Fremont, Newark and Union City. Siegel & Strain Architects collaborated with Burks Toma Architects (architect of record) to lead a multidisciplinary team for Phase 1A, design of their New Campus Building. The project consolidates administrative, lab and maintenance functions from other areas of the plant to one location. The firms jointly provided full architectural services and lead a multi-disciplinary team. The project includes approximately 65,000 square feet of building area and associated parking, vehicular circulation and pedestrian circulation.

Our team conducted a series of staff workshops to carefully program the complex building. Staff are served by open and private offices for six departments, conference rooms, an all-staff training room, break rooms, mud room and locker rooms. The public areas include a welcoming entry lobby, permit counter and board room. The maintenance facilities include a clean shop, a dirty shop and a paint shop plus bridge crane and expansive storage as well as charging for plant vehicles. The control room has a view out to the plant is paired with a crew room. The state-of-the-art lab processes plant samples as well as contracts to other districts in the area. The whole facility is set up for educational tours to the public, with interior windows at key locations to showcase the staff at work, and a second story deck situated for ‘finger pointing’ tours of the treatment plant.

CALIFORNIA

DESCRIPTION

East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) is embarking on a major upgrade of their Walnut Creek Water Treatment Plant to improve long term water quality. Siegel & Strain Architects, as a subconsultant to engineering firm Woodard & Curran and in collaboration with Burks Toma Architects, is providing two services: 1) design of a new maintenance building which consolidates existing maintenance shops, administration and storage to one location, and 2) aesthetic design of a range of structures that support the water treatment process.

The architecture team worked closely with EBMUD staff to complete a needs assessment to fully understand the existing dispersed maintenance operations and future requirements. The needs assessment included a complete equipment inventory of three shops. The resulting Maintenance Building design includes ground floor shops, washdown areas, storage, mud room and all gender locker rooms; while offices, fitness, breakroom and training room occupy the upper floor. The training room doubles as an emergency operations center.

Our team also developed a comprehensive architectural design strategy for the water treatment plant, first assessing the existing building inventory, including form, materials, finishes and colors, and then identifying the key themes to bring into the new design work. We then applied the aesthetic design principles to design a total of 20 buildings and process structures that meet the engineering criteria set for the by EBMUD’s in-house engineering team. The result is a cohesively designed set of structures that fit into the landscape to minimize impacts to views from the adjacent residential neighborhoods and nearby recreational trails.

DESCRIPTION

The Jess S. Jackson Sustainable Winery Building (JSWB) is designed to be a completely passive support building for the adjacent Research Winery and August A. Busch III Brewery and Food Science Laboratory (BWF). The building houses equipment and renewable energy systems to help the BWF achieve its goals for net-zero energy and net-zero water. The JSWB is designed to fit into the campus context through form and materials.

Davis is a cooling-dominated climate with extreme summer temperatures. The design strategies for the JSWB are simple: employ building orientation, building form and a super-insulated envelope to minimize heat gain, then use thermal mass to help cool the building throughout the day and natural ventilation to flush the building at night.

The roof form is dual purpose: deep porches at the east and west facades shade the building and increase roof area for photovoltaic array. The flat roof provides an ideal place for a future concentrating solar system and provides a staging area for the upper roof. The key to a building’s long-term value is its ability to adapt. The building will eventually house a range of process equipment that is currently unknown, but which is likely to add internal heat gains. To plan for adaptation, the building is being outfitted with radiant tubing for a future radiant cooling system, as well as ducting system to be used with a future rock bed. The project is on target to achieve the 2030 Living Building Challenge.

GIRLS

DESCRIPTION

The Girls Inc. project rehabilitated an historic downtown Oakland office building converting it to an academic skill-building, counseling and enrichment activity center for underserved girls in Alameda County.

This historic downtown Oakland office building was originally designed in 1919 by prominent local architect William A. Knowles, Jr. It served as headquarters for the East Bay Water Company, later East Bay Municipal Utilities District, until the 1960s. The Girls Inc. project rehabilitated the structure to an academic skill-building, counseling and enrichment activity center for underserved girls in Alameda County.

Siegel & Strain served as preservation architects and architectural conservator for the project. The project included building evaluation, determination of characterdefining features and building documentation for submission to the Federal Historic Preservation Certification program thereby securing substantial tax credits for the building’s owners. Siegel & Strain’s scope also included restoration of the original terra cotta facade.

The structure is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing resource to the Oakland Historic District (1992).

BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA

DESCRIPTION

Siegel & Strain Architects served as the green materials and LEED consultant for the David Brower Center, dedicated to green non-profit organizations and environmental education, in the heart of Berkeley. We participated in early design charrettes and helped to develop the green building strategies related to siting, daylighting, natural ventilation, structure, renewable energy generation, and rain water collection, to make this a cutting edge project.

Siegel & Strain also guided the materials selection, targeting local, renewable, recycled, certified and low-emissions materials for applications throughout the building. As the LEED consultant, we helped set LEED goals, provided guidance during design and construction, and coordinated the LEED documentation processes.
