San Antonio Apartments Mountain View, CA Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Mountain View is a premier Bay Area city featuring a diverse community, an excellent educational system, a vibrant downtown district, and a desirable quality of life. The architectural design for San Antonio Apartments creates visually captivating buildings which embody the city’s forwardthinking character.

Montrose East & West Apartments Mountain View, CA The two sister projects located in Mountain View along the El Camino Real – a transit oriented development on the “Grand Boulevard” that will ultimately connect the entire Silicon Valley. This redevelopment project replaces an outdated motel, with a pedestrian and transit friendly development that will link the vibrant the El Camino Real ”Grand Boulevard” to downtown Mountain View’s Castro Street, and establish pedestrian/bike connections to the adjacent neighborhood along an underground waterline easement. Situated in a very challenging site, the project consists of several urban blocks built over subterranean parking garages, organized around a series of courtyards and open space. In concert with a series of urban plazas, the composition of the architecture reinforces the street edge along the “Grand Boulevard” frontage while stepping down along the rear to mitigate the massing impact on the adjacent lower scale residential neighborhood. A roof deck is located along El Camino Real that overlooks the projects surroundings and provides beautiful views of the Foothills & Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserves. The architecture expresses a contemporary character through the use of rain screen, elegant fenestration treatment and attention to details.

100 Moffett Apartments Mountain View, CA Within a stone throw of the regional Cal Train multimodal station, this transit oriented development is also located near many hitech headquarters and Downtown Mountain View. The proposed project converts an existing vehicular on-ramp and persistent traffic issues into a critical pedestrian and bicycle linkage from adjacent neighborhood to downtown and transit station. The project consists of three distinctive buildings organized by a series of pedestrian mews and urban open spaces. On top of two separate below grade parking garages, the apartment is laid out in 2, 3 and 4 level with a roof deck along Moffett Avenue that provides beautiful views in all directions. While respecting the urban context of Central Expressway, the building’s massing steps down towards the lower scale single family home neighborhood. The contemporary architecture and unique material composition creates an iconic architectural presence that addresses the intimacy of downtown and the fast pace of Central Expressway.

Ironworks Sunnyvale, CA Located on the edge of downtown Sunnyvale, the two separate parcel TOD project is situated within an extremely challenging tight urban site with severe limits to vehicular and emergency access with direct adjacency to an active commuter rail and vibrant shopping district. The proposed plan utilizes the State Density Bonus Law to reduce parking demand, increase allowable heights, and to maximize the development program in order to accommodate much needed workforce and family housing needs. Pedestrian friendly urban design and iconic architecture weave the two sites seamlessly together. Technical design innovation includes the use of automated parking lifts and Emergency vehicular access over the podium garage and a spectacular roof terrace. The diversity of the architecture reinvents the industrial past and enhances the quality of the residential neighborhood in this emerging part of downtown Sunnyvale.

Shadowbrook Clubhouse Sunnyvale, CA In the heart of Silicon Valley’s largest employment center, Shadowbrook community is near the cycle-friendly routes to the Valley Transportation Authority and Caltrain line. The original Shadowbrook Clubhouse and Leasing office were built in the early 1970’s along with the adjacent apartments. STS was brought on the job to work alongside with design architect Don Sandy, founder of the renowned firm Sandy Babcock. The original structures were torn down and two structures were built to replace them, a 2,560 s.f. Clubhouse and a 1,218 s.f. Leasing office. The design is a clean, symmetrical design in floor plan layout and building elevations, envisioned to contrast with the existing apartments while blending in with similar materials and scale.

Brio Apartments Walnut Creek, CA Located on the fringe of downtown Walnut Creek, this quintessential transit-oriented development (TOD) is walking distance from the vibrant downtown Walnut Creek and the BART intermodal station. In addition to enhancing important pedestrian linkages to regional transit station, recreational trails, and neighborhood school, the design incorporates green building practices such as utilizing a compact building typology to reduce heat-island effect, storm water treatment, photo-voltaic car ports, reduced parking and car share. This development demonstrates that a well-designed, sustainable TOD project with elegant density is possible within a “sub�-urban context. The urban plan and architecture was designed in keeping with the Walnut Creek civic district, which has a well-mannered, pastoral character. The design respects the four sided architecture while shielding the parking garage from public view. The brick/siding materiality and massing are broken up in appropriate scale blocks in elevation to remain consistent with the finer grain downtown architectural character. The landscape theme is woven together by a combination of generously landscaped, tree-lined sidewalks with stoops and punctuated by urban spaces with public arts.

Domain Oakland, CA The 1.5 acre site is located in the heart of downtown Oakland, adjacent to major state and federal employment centers and BART transit station. The transit-oriented mixed-use project consists of 252 units of residential, live-work, 5,000 sf of common recreation area and 3,000 sf of restaurant space. This mid-rise building typology allows for a transitional scale urban building while achieving high density housing expected of any TOD project. The modulated bays windows response to the strong modulation of the adjacent Federal Building and reflects the contemporary expression of the traditional bay area architectural character. Variety of massing articulation subtly addresses the unique urban edges on each frontage of the project. The recessed upper floor also provides a activated roof terrace and subtle cornice line in keeping with the historical context of the district. This project was designed by a project team at McLarand Vasquez Emsiek, Inc., or one of its affiliated entities, of which Chek Tang was a member.

Broadway Plaza Redwood City, CA Broadway Plaza in Redwood City is conceived as a transit oriented mixed-use development of residential and office and a small retail component, in compliance with the Redwood City municipal code requirements and the MUC-GB zoning designation. The proposed urban design emphasizes active frontages along all public streets, in the form of residential stoops, storefronts and offices. The corner of Chestnut Street and Broadway will be anchored by a corner plaza, which will provide a connection to downtown Redwood City. The garage structure is subterranean and hidden from public view. Due to the transit nature of the site, the project proposes a shared parking strategy between the commercial and residential uses on site.

The Reser ve San Jose, CA The design of the clubhouse and surrounding gardens maximize their ocean-front location providing water views while at the same time creating a hierarchy of outdoor spaces to provide privacy as well as gathering spaces for residents of this master planned seaside community. The pool area is divided into three zones to allow for lap swimming while at the same time creating more intimate spaces for lounging and socializing. Ecological planting along sand dunes has been carefully preserved – the pool and recreational areas are all set back behind new plantings that allow for framed views to the water from the main clubhouse level as well as filtered views from the pool deck.

207 Seaside Way Long Beach, CA 207 Seaside Way consists of 112 loft units with 2 levels of above grade parking and 3800 sf. Roof Deck with views toward Los Alamitos Beach. The site is a unique location on a service street servicing the back of house of the City’s Convention and Performing Arts Centers and parking garages. It is depressed 25 feet below the plazas, Ocean Blvd and the downtown pedestrian plane. The challenge was to give the building an address, identity and pedestrian connection to the downtown. This was achieved by matching the residential podium with the height of the proposed pedestrian bridge that the city is building to create a “Sense of Place” on this otherwise invisible site. The project places Retail, Café, Common Areas and Lobby on the bridge level to activate the Bridge as “a Place” within the community. The design echoes the curves of the bridge and provides spectacular harbor and waterfront views. The plan has interlocking units which allow for more rooms on the glass than the traditional studio designs. The units are designed as Lofts with 9’-8” ceiling height to maximize natural light.

442 Ocean Boulevard Long Beach, CA 442 Ocean Blvd consists of 94 apartment units on a half-acre site. The site is an existing surface parking lot adjacent to an existing office complex. The surface parking parcel and office parcel were combined to create a mixed-use campus. This allowed using the residential density of the combined site to achieve twice the number of units otherwise allowed on the single site. The design creates a campus centered on a main entrance drive and motor court off Ocean Blvd. to integrate the retail, office and apartment buildings. The Mid-Century architectural style ties the building together incorporating the dominant horizontal band of the office as a design feature. The apartment units are designed as lofts with 9’-8� ceiling heights to maximize natural light and feature an interlocking unit design which allows for more rooms on the glass that the traditional studio designs. The roof deck is located to maximize the view toward the Harbor and the Queen Mary.

The project is located at the important intersection of The Promenade & Broadway within the Downtown Long Beach Specific Plan and will serve as a Gateway that links the Downtown shopping district on the 4th Street to the tourist attractions on 1st Street and Ocean Blvd. At this crucial intersection on The Promenade and Broadway we have created an Iconic Architectural glass corner that will serve as a landmark for the project. At the ground level are retail, co-worker spaces and apartment leasing office with a spectacular roof deck above looking south towards the ocean. The pedestrian experience along The Promenade, is both symbolically and physically linked to the roof deck by a glass elevator providing animation to the facade. To activate and enhance The Promenade, we have created restaurant and retail spaces that directly opens up to the sidewalk. The storefronts have been recessed to provide a wider pedestrian experience which has been enhance with paving and landscaping as well as outdoor seating for the retail. To further strengthen and enliven the pedestrian experience, a large urban plaza has been created at the corner. The plaza is also the access point for the retail and guest parking to the street level retail and restaurants. Along Broadway we have placed the leasing lobby as well as co-worker spaces to provide convenient access to public transit along Broadway. The dynamic architectural statement on The Promenade and Broadway has been contrasted with a more orderly and vertical arrangement along the The Promenade. This urban design strategy minimizes the apparent mass of the building and provides variation in scale which creates a more pedestrian friendly experience as well as allowing the project to be the final piece which completes The Promenade.

Lennar Mainplace Santa Ana, CA This project is located adjacent to Westfield Main place Mall on Main street next to 22 Fwy. It is conceived as a mixed-use development that would energize the commercial district around the shopping center. Located off the 22 Fwy, noise is mitigated by the strategic placement of a 6 story parking garage with retail signage on the freeway elevation. The project is divided into 3 distinct districts. On Main Street, the 7 story residential, retail block is a street wall that speaks to the commercial nature of Main Street with a large corner plaza. There is also pedestrian access from Main Street into the central Courtyard and leasing office. The second district faces Main Place Drive and is envisioned as a Live/work district with a vertical townhome expression. The third district have loft units which faces a pocket park that becomes a terminus for the site. Tying all these districts together is a spectacular roof deck that have amenities such as a fitness center, pool and spas that reveals itself on Main Street as a cantilever object.

1600 Vine Street Hollywood, CA The major design challenge was the complexity of the one-cityblock site, located within a historic district and the necessity of having to build around an existing subway station as well as providing for the requirements of the bus transit facility. The project program consists of 350 apartments units over 65,000 sf of retail over 2 levels of basement parking. The solution was to develop a series of public and semi-public open spaces that address each of the unique conditions around the site. The high-rise condo building matches the height of the historic Taft building at the corner of Hollywood & Vine. The apartment building interprets the Taft building in a modern way to hold the southern corner of the site at Hollywood Blvd. & Selmar. This project was designed by a project team at McLarand Vasquez Emsiek, Inc., or one of its affiliated entities, of which John Waldron & Henry Tong were members.

Old Warm Springs Master Plan Fremont, CA The master plan for the 28 acre Old Warm Springs Boulevard South (OWSBS) site envisions a new home for current and future entrepreneurs. The Warm Springs Community Plan located adjacent to new BART Station is designed to support transfomative lifestyles in the new 21st century, knowledgebased economy. With 785 residential units as well as a 150-room hotel, commercial office, co-working space and live/work units the plan is a transition from adjacent areas to the south with their more traditional mix of residential and commercial uses to areas north and west designated for R&D industrial/ manufacturing start-ups. As such it represents a unique opportunity to create a new incubation center - supporting non-traditional work places for start-ups and entrepreneurial development opportunities as a part of a new residential-mixed use paradigm. This new paradigm creates a community where residents can truly “live where they work/ work where they live” – a district with workplaces to foster inspiration. This district is a testing ground for new ideas – responding to new notions of how people live/work/play today. The OWSBS community master plan reflects a vision of how future mixed-use neighborhoods are planned and developed.e.

Luxehill Master Plan Chengdu, China This large-scale mixed-use development offers the serenity of a pastoral villa lifestyle with the grandeur of a spectacular high-rise living environment. The architecture and surrounding environment are harmoniously woven together maintaining the idyllic lake setting. There is an elegant balance of urban density within a livable community while integrating green-building practices. The configuration/orientation of the towers allows each residence to receive maximum solar exposure and premium views with minimum shadow impact on adjacent buildings. The unique, two-story garden terraces enhance the intimate outdoor experience while providing a sensual south-facing veil. Furthermore, the ground floor surrounding the courtyards is activated by recreational and community functions. Inspired by the native Sichuan bamboo forest, the vertical architectural order creates a unique skyline profile and massing.

Wenchang Mixed-use Community WenChang, China The project site is located in the City of Wenchang within Hainan Province in P.R.China, as one of the two gateways to the proposed Tonggu Mountain Eco-Community Development. The site is adjacent to the south slope of Tonggu Mountain. Existing topographic conditions are very complicated and some of the areas within the site present an elevation drop over 30m. The proposal took inspiration from creative grading design, which adapts to hillside slopes and divide the community into three clusters; ocean view cluster, creek valley cluster, and meadow plain cluster. Such site plan strategies has taken full advantages of surrounding natural landscape resources while being very sensitive on cut and fill balance as well as water and land preservation. Built around the existing valley creek on site, the central water features form a natural cascading feature across three levels of water planes until they enter the central lake at the lowest level, which became the focal point of landscape features and community activities.

Tea Garden Townghomes Phase 2 ChongQing, China The project site is located in Tea Garden District of the City of Chongqing in P.R.China. It is one of the emerging central districts located at the outskirts of Chongqing urban area and therefore enjoys prominent access and location advantages. This development project mainly consists of 3-story townhomes sitting on top of an underground garage. It’s Phase One development showcased a revival Chinese style. StudioT Square designed Phase Two with a compatible FrankLloyd-Wright style to complete the overall community scenery and to create interesting visual contrast. The site plan introduced a central green way system and a linear green corridor into the neighborhood fabric to integrate different parcels on site and organize open spaces at different scales, which helps to ease the pressure of compact townhome development. Chinese courtyard arrangement is adopted with a “pinwheel” twist in building layout, while warm wood expression and local stone features add to the charm of Wright’s classic design languages. All these architectural and landscape elements are well-integrated to form an elegant and yet very dynamic community.
