Issue No. 3, Spring 2018

TCA does not accept the status quo. We push and constantly ask the question:
"Is there a better, smarter design for this?" We strive to produce more with less because uninspired built environments are missed opportunities to enhance lives. We require a big idea, which informs the process, leads to better design, and ultimately benefits the community. We resist mediocrity, and we delight in the discipline that leads to places that inspire and uplift, even in ordinary life. "Base" is our celebration of this commitment.
—TCA
BASE celebrates the rigor of our DESIGN PROCESS at TCA. Each project’s design starts from a central concept, or a BIG IDEA, and continues to build upon this idea through construction. BASE represents the FOUNDATION of our process.

S.W.O.T.
At project commencement, a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats meeting is held with the Studio Director, Senior Designer, and key leadership within TCA. Questions are asked about the site, program, and building type, as a means to help avoid common pitfalls and to start the process off in the right direction.
DESK CRIT Daily desk crits play an
important role in TCA’s process. These critiques typically involve the project team, however, often times they also include other team members at TCA. The intent is to provide detailed, project specific review and commentary to improve the overall design.
PIN UP Pin Ups are an “ongoing”
PROCESS The TCA design process emphasizes collaboration to produce diverse, high quality design for all projects. All projects are required to write a central theme, or “Big Idea,” to guide the process. Design is constantly
presentation of the project. They will typically occupy a wall within the office, allowing the project to be observed by everyone at TCA. Project teams periodically update the exhibit, and gather others to provide comments and critique. Pin Ups are a valuable tool, especially in the earlier stages of the project. The collaboration allows the design team to explore “big ideas” and engage in discourse that often leads to alternative, or more refined, solutions.

SALON!
This presentation is an opportunity to learn, share information and critique ongoing projects between TCA’s three offices. Project teams present their work during each phase of the project, and before key milestone dates. Salon! allows the entire office to provide input and to offer suggestions that keep the project on course as the design evolves over time.
reviewed, critiqued, and discussed in various venues throughout the life of the project. This process allows for new
ideas and novel approaches to be considered, with commentary from all experience levels within the firm encouraged. It also ensures that all work leaving the office retains the same consistently high quality of design. As such, our work ultimately contributes to thriving communities where people live, work, play, and connect.

COMPETITION Project Team Bryan Walker Kevin Buchta
Location | San Diego, CA Client | Millcreek Residential Cedar & Kettner Millcreek is a 21-story tower comprised of 182 residential units and 12,000 sf of retail. The massing was developed in relation to the multiple zoning overlays which minimized shadow impact and created a podium massing that is related to its surrounding context. The project is an ideal gateway to downtown San Diego from the north side of town. Given this opportunity, the design needed to reflect an iconic stature to set it apart amidst a sea of simply extruded towers in the area. San Diego’s casual coastal lifestyle inspired the design as it references the dynamic waves of the ocean that dominate the picturesque vista of the city.

The building showcases a richness of material, form, shade, and shadow amidst an immersive landscape — offering a unique engagement with the public right of away. This embrace of nature, expressed in buildings and landscape, will enhance the Prentice Park experience and help grow its impact as a uniquely Santa Ana amenity for the city and surrounding communities.

ON-THE-BOARDS Project Team Anna Mendoza Armine Movsesyan Eric Olsen Jerrin Chu Sandy Chung
Location | Los Angeles, CA Client | Western Plaza Capital Holding, LLC The vision for this project is to create a new active destination in Koreatown with a diverse mix of uses that respects the existing community and embraces its new cosmopolitan identity and culture. We worked to combine the existing parking structure with a new mix of uses - hotel, apartment, retail, and restaurant to better utilize the site. The Koreatown community has developed significantly in the last few years. Koreatown has become a destination for Angelinos who want to experience the Korean culture; and it was important for the applicant and for us to design a project that respects the culture. This project aims to embrace this change by contributing to the ongoing success of the existing community, while adapting the existing building into a mixed-use program and maintaining its integrity.

Although the site is within walking distance of downtown San Leandro, it stands somewhat by the BART station tracks, parking lots, and the UPRR. DIAGRAM isolated STUDY 10 Because it exists in its own context, it is free to express strong independent architecture with bold forms and durable, high quality materials. It is an ambitious design that, together with the rest of the San Leandro Tech Campus, serves as a vision for the bright future of San Leandro as a place to live and work.

WEST END SAND CITY ON-THE-BOARDS
Project Team Andrew Lau Paul Adamson Tak Katsuura Thom Cox Location | Sand City, CA Client | DBO Development No. 30 LLC Immediately adjacent to Pacific Coast Highway, Sand City is a small community just north of Monterey. While home to fewer than 400 residents, the town supports neighboring cities with valuable goods and services. The generative design idea derives from the edge-condition of the site, an area of regularly shaped development intertwined with variegated natural landscape. About ten percent of the property includes a protected natural habitat - a ragged wedge of dune-scape that splits the most desirable building area into two irregularly shaped parcels. The initial design transformed the typically stiff, rectangular and bar-shaped massing of multifamily housing by bending the buildings to follow the habitat boundary. Folding these bars inward helped shelter outdoor spaces from the near constant on-shore breezes. Strategically placed openings in the building masses provide opportunities for uniquely shaped amenity spaces with sweeping views of Monterey Bay.

The design was inspired by the neighborhood’s shift from commercial to mixed-use. At the corner plaza, intersecting architectures reflect two of the area’s existing block building typologies. G12’s narrow facade mimics the exposed side of the neighborhood’s commercial buildings, with random patterns of various-sized windows. The long facade reflects the neighborhood's existing historical commercial front façade’s patterning and repetition, albeit with contemporary materials and residential detailing. Through these juxtapositions, G12 remains authentically contextual and contributes to an exciting new community. At the corner plaza, contrasting materials of grey aluminum panels and white cement panels reinforce the notion of intersecting architectures. This intersection also contributes to a reduction in scale consistent with the neighborhood.

The use of a truss wall (smart component) for structural shear along Grand Ave. gave us the flexibility to design the Chevron wall (angle walls) in wood versus a more expensive steel moment frame system. The stepped garden was very difficult to document with its complexity and the use of Revit and 3D view on the construction documents proved useful in the construction phase. - Gus Quintana Senior Associate, Project Coordinator

2 ESSEX Client | Essex Located on iconic Sunset Boulevard, Essex Hollywood is a 7-story, 200 unit mixed-use project containing 4,827 SF of ground floor retail. The project is held back from its historic neighbor, the Earl Carroll Theatre, creating a pedestrian paseo, a welcome relief from the auto-centric Sunset Boulevard.
3 ONE PASEO
2
Client | Kilroy Realty One Paseo is the residential component to a mixed-use community that provides the critical mass needed to sustain 24/7 activity by locating housing in direct proximity to shopping and working environments. Horizontal proximity integrates these essential uses, supporting a sustainable, pedestrian friendly and livable environment. 600 apartment homes will consist of stacked flats and/or townhomes with a mix of studio, one, two and three bedroom units.
4 THE LINK Client | Pacific Development The Link is a transit-oriented, high-density multi-family apartment and mixed-use project at the southern tip of Glendale’s San Fernando Road corridor. Using a musical analogy, a musical staff represented by glass guardrails culminating in a dramatic steel and glass corner are punctuated by colorful "Notes." These architectural towers playfully march along San Fernando and mark the southern gateway to Glendale. The project consists of 142 rental apartments and resident recreation space and 15,000 SF of office or retail space.

VIRTUAL REALITY POWER OF TOOL
Project Team Aram Chahbazian Bryan Walker Henry Lee Matt Fullenkamp Eileen Won TCA is utilizing Virtual Reality's (VR) inherent experiential advantages in the architectural design process. By integrating various targeted levels of VR into each of the phases of a project lifecycle, TCA uses VR and BIM simultaneously, as complimentary tools that work together to add value to the project delivery process. During early massing and entitlements, design concepts can be reviewed with clients and municipalities to reach faster consensus and approval. While the project is in working drawings, the design teams can virtually enter the un-built space and make key revisions in real time - prior to construction. The virtual spaces created in VR also becomes a powerful tool that clients can use during leasing/marketing.
