HOUSING & MIXED-USE
9 E MT ROYAL MIXED USE HOUSING BALTIMORE, MARYLAND
CREATING LIVING COMMUNITIES THAT THRIVE With the changing lifestyle preferences of current and rising generations, the increase in telecommuting and work-from-home opportunities, and a growing demand from active “Boomers” for options that support independent living, developers and institutions are seeing an increasing need for creative housing and mixeduse communities. Desirable amenities, “green” choices, modern living, and architecturally distinctive designs are all important for developers to remain competitive in the housing market.
SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS
WSA’s Housing and Mixed-Use team employs knowledge of evolving trends in residential and commercial design, and offers clients extensive experience across multiple project types, including multifamily, student and senior housing, office/retail and hospitality. Our design approach is inspired by the client’s vision and goals, the project’s context, stewardship of the environment, and a commitment to strengthen communities and the existing neighborhood fabric. We have designed over 3,000 apartment units, both affordable and market-rate, for non-profit organizations and for-profit developers, and have experience engaging with multiple stakeholders throughout the development process. Whether working on ground-up design for a new mixed-use community or converting an historic office building to housing, WSA helps clients make smart design decisions related to cost, schedule, and the project’s long-term viability.

Mount Royal Avenue Baltimore, MD 21201 410.573.9730 yonah@zahlco.com SIZE 74,236 GSF 64 apartments 41 structured parking spaces 950 SF retail COST $10 Million
Nine East Mount Royal, located in the Mount Vernon Historic District of Baltimore City, is a new 7-story, 64-unit apartment building with indoor parking for 41 cars, retail on the ground floor, and tenant amenity spaces on the top level. Amenities include a fitness center, a conference room and indoor/outdoor gathering spaces with impressive views of the City. The building structure consists of five residential levels of fire-retardant wood-frame construction, above two parking levels of poured-in-place concrete. The project incorporates “green building” design strategies in accordance with the International Green Construction Code (IgCC). Some of the strategies include: efficient apartment layouts; large windows that provide an abundance of daylight for each unit; LED light fixtures throughout the project; Energy Star appliances; Water Sense plumbing fixtures; individual split-system HVAC in each apartment; DOAS roof unit with a heat-transfer wheel; continuous insulation on the exterior walls; and a vegetated roof for stormwater management. In addition, the project is located in a high-density neighborhood, easy-walking distance from shopping, restaurants, entertainment, universities, bus routes and the main train station. The exterior design of the building is decidedly contemporary; but it reflects the historic context of its neighborhood in its proportions and details. A distinctive feature of the exterior design is the use of terra cotta on the front facade. The terra cotta material wraps the front corners of the building and extends approximately two feet back along the side walls, before interfacing with full-height, vertical glass corner elements; at the top floor, the terra cotta extends along the side walls approximately 20 feet beyond the front plane of the building, highlighting the amenity spaces on that level. These design details provide mass and definition to the terra cotta “box”, and tie together the main street façade with its more modest side and rear elevations. These secondary elevations, which face three narrow public alleys, consist of exposed smooth-finished concrete at the two garage levels and aluminum panels at the upper residential levels; both the concrete and the aluminum panels are articulated with horizontal and vertical score-lines to provide appropriate dimension and scale to the building.

Located in the Mount Vernon Historic District of Baltimore City, this 9-story structure was constructed in the early nineteen hundreds as a luxury apartment building. In the mid-1940’s, it was converted to professional offices, and came to be known as the Medical Arts Building. In spite of this use for over 60 years, most of the original apartment layouts were kept intact, along with a wealth of historic interior details -- fluted columns, cornices, coved ceilings, chair rails, wall paneling, fireplace mantels, paneled doors and casings. The project entailed converting the original luxury apartments to 56 smaller, energy-efficient, marketrate units, and upgrading the building to comply with current codes while preserving the historic details. Several apartments have been designed as fully-accessible units. In addition, the exterior facades have been preserved and restored, and the entrance has been sensitively adapted to make the building handicap accessible. Full architectural and interior design services were provided, as well as applications for State and Federal Historic Tax Crediits (which were awarded).

Located in the Mount Vernon Historic District of Baltimore City, this 90,000 SF building sat almost completely vacant for several years. Constructed in the early nineteen hundreds as an office building for doctors and den tists, the Professional Arts Building began to decline in the 1960’s and 1970s as these professionals followed their patients to the suburbs, where they relocated their practices. The project entailed converting this 8-story (plus basement) office building to 96 modest one-bedroom, twobedroom and studio apartments. Common areas include a fitness center and community room. Ground floor retail space was restored as a sandwich and coffee shop to serve the tenants and the community. The building’s historic facades were preserved and restored. The multi-level marble vestibule and lobby were preserved and sensitively adapted for handicap-accessibility. The existing corridors—with their historic trim, doors and tiled elevator lobbies—were adaptively re-used on each floor level. Full architectural and interior design services were provided, as well as applications for State and Federal Historic Tax Credits (which were awarded).

SENIOR LIVING & SKILLED NURSING
ALFRED HOUSE SYMPHONY HOUSE DERWOOD, MARYLAND
RESIDENT-CENTERED CARE COMMUNITIES Demand for senior living communities is on the rise, and the design of these environments is radically changing. The number of retiring “Boomers” who will require some level of lifestyle support or care over the next 30 years, along with the pressure to reduce the length of hospital stays and move post-surgery patients to offcampus rehab facilities, are driving the industry toward new design solutions. With aging seniors seeking opportunities to remain active and independent as long as possible, senior living communities need to find living/care solutions that are accessible and flexible, leverage technology, and ensure safety and security, while complying with a myriad of complex governmental regulations. WSA’s team has a 35-year history working in, and adapting to, the changing landscape of senior living design and development. We understand the diverse design criteria and requirements for specialty-care areas, including rehab therapy, sub-acute care, memory care, and dialysis. We are experienced with sectorspecific building codes, State and Federal regulations, and industry standards; and we employ best practices for the design of facilities that provide housing, healthcare and social services for their senior residents. Having completed more than 50 projects – representing 2,400 skilled nursing and assisted living beds and over 1,000 independent living apartment units -- WSA continues to be engaged time-and-again by owners of some of the region’s top senior living communities.

Restore Health Waldorf is a skilled nursing facility (SNF), developed by Mid-Atlantic Health Care and located on a 5.6-acre site in the rapidly-growing area of Waldorf, Maryland. Presently licensed for 67 beds, the building is designed to grow to 80 skilled nursing beds and to accommodate a future assisted living facility (ALF). The SNF is a 1-story wood-framed structure, designed around two landscaped courtyards, one for use by the residents and one for the staff. The future ALF, which will be contiguous with the SNF, will be designed around its own landscaped courtyard. The SNF consists of two nursing units: one for long-term care, serving primarily senior residents; and one for short-term care, serving primarily patients requiring rehabilitation services. Both units are supported by a state-of-the art Rehabilitation Services Center, providing physical, occupational and speech therapy. Full architectural and interior design services were provided. Before they sold their Maryland holdings, Mid-Atlantic Health Care owned and operated numerous skilled nursing facilities in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Our firm was recommended to them by Lorien Health, and we provided them with Architectural services on 8 properties. Restore Health Waldorf was their first and only new, ground-up building, and we were charged with creating “a home away from home, where [residents] are valued and cared for with dignity and respect in a comfortable and safe environment.” We worked very closely with their ownership and operations team, educating them on current industry standards and design trends, assisting them in evaluating the pros and cons of critical design decisions, providing intensive support throughout the design and construction process, and helping deliver a facility where their professional care-givers can “achieve the best quality of life” for their residents.

Lorien Havre de Grace is a skilled nursing facility, located on a 4.73 acre site along Route 40 in Havre de Grace, Maryland. It consists of two separate care units: a 38-bed long-term care unit, serving primarily senior residents; and a 40-bed short-term care unit, including a sub-acute component, serving patients requiring rehabilitation services. Both units are supported by a state-of-the-art Rehabilitation Services Center, providing physical, occupational and speech therapy. The 2-story building is designed to accommodate a future 3-story expansion, which will house an Assisted Living Facility. The intent of the facility’s exterior design is to create a “presence” for the client along Route 40, which is currently characterized, for the most part, by a hodge-podge of nondescript commercial structures. Full architectural services were provided. Lorien Health Services is a unique senior care provider; as part of the Mangione Family Enterprises, it has an in-house construction company that specializes in building senior care communities. Similarly, our firm has a construction administration team that has specialized in senior living for 24 years. Having worked on Lorien projects -- such as Lorien Bulle Rock -- for over 20 years, we have developed a very close collaborative relationship with their ownership and operations team, as well as their construction company. We know what features they want in their facilities and the character they want their facilities to project; we understand their business model and how they choose to spend their construction dollars. Consequently, they trust us to guide them and to help them make thoughtful design decisions.

The 150-bed skilled nursing and rehab facility is located on a wooded 14-acre property in Prince George’s County, MD. The site slopes down to a large reservoir, and the building is designed to take advantage of the grade and the views afforded by this special water feature. The 2-story structure is built into the hill, so that it presents itself as one story from the Brightseat entrance and as two stories from the reservoir. The building is organized around two landscaped courtyards and consists of four nursing units: one for long-term care, two for post-acute skilled care, and one for patients requiring ventilation. The nursing units are supported by a state-of-the-art Rehabilitation Services Center and a Dialysis Center. The facility has secure and accessible outdoor activity spaces at both levels.

Weinberg Manor South is the most recent and final addition to an existing senior housing campus, located in the Upper Park Heights neighborhood of Baltimore City. Designed to provide new affordable rental apartments and supportive services for independent seniors, the 90-unit project includes a large multipurpose room with a residential kitchen and coffee bar, an arts & crafts room, game room, parlor/library, beauty salon, wellness suite and convenience store. The building is designed to complement its surroundings, with the selection of brick colors to match the adjacent buildings on the campus and in the neighborhood; at the same time, it is given its own distinct “look”, with windows that wrap the corners and provide an abundance of daylight in the apartments. All common areas are fully ADA-accessible; all apartments are designed in accordance with the Fair Housing Act, with several being fully handicap-accessible for tenants with sight, hearing and/or other physical impairments. The building is LEED Silver Certified under the LEED Mid-Rise Multifamily program and includes a variety of “green” features, such as a vegetated roof and low-flow plumbing fixtures. Kann Partners, prior to joining Waldon Studio Architects, provided full architectural services for this project and for 4 other affordable senior housing facilities for CHAI. The project was financed with 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) and a combination of other public and private funds. The Maryland Community Development Administration (CDA), which awards the LIHTC and administers the program, has very strict regulatory guidelines regarding budget, schedule, drawing submissions, and milestones that must be met during both design and construction. The Waldon Studio Architects team (previously Kann Partners) complied with all of these requirements. It should also be noted that Waldon Studio Architects is currently working on another affordable senior housing project for CHAI.

ACHIEVING SUCCESSFUL WELCOMING PROJECTS Whether new construction or adaptive reuse of a historic building, realizing a desirable hotel comes with many unique challenges.

The Keyser Building, located at 207 E. Redwood Street, in Baltimore, MD is significant as one of the larger office buildings constructed after the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. Erected in 1906, the building rests in the heart of Baltimore’s historic financial district, just two blocks north of the Inner Harbor and the center of tourist activity. The project entails converting this 10-story (plus basement and sub-basement) office building into a “boutique” hotel, with 144 guest rooms. In addition to the lobby and reception area, common areas include a fitness center, conference spaces and a café to serve guests and nearby office workers. The solid stone building’s historic facades are being preserved and restored. Furthermore, historic materials discovered on the interior— marble walls, terrazzo floors, wood wall paneling and wood moldings—are being preserved and incorporated into the layout of the interior spaces. Full architectural services were provided, as well as applications for State and Federal Historic Tax Credits (which have been awarded).

The goal was to renovate and restore this historic building for use as a 29 room boutique hotel. Constructed in 1881 for Samuel Wyman, the Brexton Building on Park Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland was designed by architect Charles Cassel. Originally a residential hotel, the Brexton is a seven-story Queen Anne structure made of brick and red sandstone. The hotel was later converted to apartments which eventually were left vacant for years before this revitalization. The firm was retained to restore the building as a boutique hotel with high-end amenities and a street level cafe. The design respects and highlights many of the historic features of the building. Included in this process was the design of a new HVAC system, plumbing, electrical, fire alarm, and other features addressing life-safety issues. Additionally, the exterior facade was completely restored with gentle masonry cleaning and masonry patching to match the existing in every way. Roof, gutter, and downspout repairs, as well as door and window repairs, were completed as needed. Both State and Federal Historic Tax Credits were awarded. Provided construction administration services and worked with the Maryland Historic Trust (MHT) and the National Park Service (NPS).
