Southwestern Energy HQ , currently

under construction, anchors the

north side of a planned community

adjacent to Hendrix College outisde

Little Rock, AR. The 134,000 SF facility

is an integrated delivery project

architecture, landscape, and interior

design.

• A 70’ wide, nearly 400’ long floorplate oriented along an East-West axis provides ideal conditions for the use of natual daylight.

• The building’s location within a masterplaned district of the Hendrix College Campus required consistency with traditional campus

aesthetics and materials on 3 facades of the building.

• A Combination of site design, a unique floorplate, high performance envelope and building systems, and local materials allowed for the facility to comfortably achieve LEED Gold requirements .

COS T$15 million (core & shell)

LEED Gold CI (pending)

Utilizing Building Information System modeling and integrated project delivery allowed for the project to be delivered in an extremely efficient manner. B.I.M. modeling from the concept stage allowed for several design options to be presented in parallel through the schematic design phase. Permitting documents for the base building were released four months after concept work began, with construction work complete in approximately 12 months. Integrated project delivery allowed for consistent project team members across disciplines, resulting in efficient document production and conisistent execution of design intent.

The Al Maha Community is a

mixed use development in the

Garden City of the UAE, Al Ain.

HOK Atlanta partnered with HOK

Tampa, Toronto, and Washington,

was undertaken in early 2008. HOK

were the architectural and cultural

centerpeice of the community.SIZE288,500 sf

The Al Maha community encompasses 79 acres in Al, Ain, United Arab Emeriates. The master plan includes a mix of mid rise offices, residential towers, villas, retail, and a community center. HOK Washington, DC designed the office and villa components that anchor the east and west ends of the community. The HOK Atlanta component includes 152 residential units, a retail base, and a two level underground carpark. Each of the two building bases provide retail frontage on three sides, including the Central Plaza and along the Wadi Arcade, giving buildings 10 and 11 the stron-gest presence in community oriented areas.

• The buildings are clad in two earthy shades of terra cotta which define a distinct inner and outer plane. Perforated aluminum panels clad the penthouses, providing a contrast of material, while maintaing a delicate balance of proportion and geometry. Retail spaces are clad in a regional stone which is common to several buildings in the community. Strong geometries and a neutural material pallette resulted in an

elegant, contemporary design that acheived a balance between western and regional architecture.

• The plaza between the buildings is the centerpeice of the community, housing retail, restaurants, and a pedestrian connection to the retail arcade along the Wadi. Elevated dining areas and resident courtyards overlook the plaza and the Wadi.

The Green Line is an integrated effort between HOK Atlanta Architecture and HOK Planning Group. Scope of services included master planning, data collection, infastructure planning, development forecasting, and conceptual architectural design. The multi-modal passenger terminal is the defin-ing element of the master plan, and is expected to be included in first phase development, acting as a catalyst for the Green Line master plan. After master plan submission, transportation design and planning has continued on the mmpt, with passenger commuter rail service expected in 2012.

• A revitalized MARTA Five Points transit hub, directly adjacent to a new multi-modal passenger terminal.

• Mutii-modal passenger terminal linking commuter rail, regional bus service, and MARTA - Atlanta’s mass transit service.

• A new Commuter / Regional bus terminal to be located below viaduct level, allowing for future commercial overbuild.

• A 20 Floor office tower to be built over the new passenger terminal, allowing MARTA to re-locate its headquarters next to its primary transit station.

• Phase 1 commuter rail will begin with service to the southern communities of Lovejoy and Griffin, with eventual service to Macon.

• All regional bus logistics are conducted below viaduct level, easing traffic congestion and allowing for development over the bus terminal.

• A renovated MARTA Five Points Station and plaza welcomes passengers to the system.

• A seven spoke commuter and high speed rail reaching all corners of the state would lead into the new multi-modal passenger terminal. Amtrak service would also be routed to the station, providing greater connectivity.

• 20 story office tower to be constructed over the passenger terminal, allowing MARTA to relocate its headquarters and operations center to the core of its system.

• In conjuction with the Green Line Master Plan, street viaducts are linked, restoring the city grid. Below viaduct level are multi-level parking decks to accomodate future development potential.

• Office: 4,000,000 SF

• Retail: 800,000 SF

• Hotel: 2,000 Keys

NBA / NHL Arena addressed the

current trends and the potential of

arena design in a vibrant downtown

setting. The building design seeks

to exploit location to increase

opportunities for revenue generation

outisde of standard operating

schedules. The design is both

functional and sculptural, built on

industry standards, while creating a

unique experience both inside and out.

The arena’s location on the Milwaukee Riverfront provided a unique design opportunity and a num-ber of challenges. Historical context, the Milwaukee Riverwalk, and proximity to existing sports and convention facilities provides a dynamic environment for entertainment. The event level and it’s as-sociated amenities are located at the Riverwalk level, allowing for continuous operation of riverfront retail, with a unique view into the arena bowl.The seating bowl was designed for hockey, basketball, and theater configurations using a combination of portable and variable riser seating systems below the main concourse level.

Arena Design Highlights

• Full programming of arena facility, including

conformance with NBA/NHL facility standards,

with consultation from sports architects across

several globally recognized firms.

• Technical approach to project, focusing on facility

operations, full sightline studies in multiple

seating configurations, constructability, and

facility specific product research.

• Scheduling/quantification of critical components

such as seat types, precast risers, and fixtures.

• Compact site along riverfront in context of

historic buildings drove inital planning of levels,

concourses, operational logistics, and vomitory

configuration.

The City Library of Stockholm design

sought to address both the existing

Asplund design and the changing

role of a library in the 21st Century.

The minimalist form preserves the

original library’s role as an object

the development of public program

within the facility that could expand

utilization beyond typical library

operating hours.

Library Design Highlights

• Potential 24 hour Public Program, including a media center, cafe, periodicals, and music collections are located in an atrium space along the plaza beneath the collections area, enabling these spaces to remain active, while maintaining security for the collections area, accessed by elevators. A bridge from the atrium serves as the link to the historical library, which is to house

the rare book and archive collection.

• The linear design concept provides an efficient and logical method for organizing library media. The primary building mass is aligned to, but offset from the original building axis. The resulting geometry complements the simple geometries of the original Asplund building.
