WelCome

pring has been a whirlwind of events, and at Sources+Design, we’re always happy to be out and about meeting readers and adver-tisers.

I traveled to the Denver Design District for the annual reNew Design event, where I again had the opportunity to review designers’ port-folios at the Hoff Miller showroom. Thank you to all the marvelous talents

who participated in the review, and thank you to our friends at Hoff Miller for hosting the event.

Publisher Terry Babb and associate publisher Karen Romersa visited the Rysso-Peters cabine-try showroom in Scottsdale, Arizona for a spring happy hour, which was preceded by a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new Dunn Edwards paint plant in Phoenix (read about that in

“Swatches”). That, too, was preceded by a merry evening of presentations at the new Phoenix Westin during IIDA South-west Chapter’s recent PRIDE

awards celebration. You can see many of those IIDA winning projects in this issue.

Mark your calendars for upcoming Sources+Design co-sponsored events. We’ll be at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort near Chandler, Arizona on August 18 at The Reference Library Tradeshow, held in conjunction with AIA

Arizona’s state conference. On September 14, join me at the Las Vegas Design Center for a portfolio review. We’ll have more details in our next issue.

And, oh yes, we did manage to put together this issue in between events. This issue’s theme is remodeling, big business these days. We’re touring two projects and taking a peek at new window and door products to update those remodeling proj-ects. We’d also like to welcome back architect and

writer Frank A. Stasiowski, FAIA, to our pages. He penned our first business col-umns oh-so-many-years-ago, and he’s back with this issue’s “Management” column on the touchy subject of when a design firm’s leader should step aside.

Finally, kudos to two friends of Sources+Design. Our “Technology” col-umnist and guru Pamela Bir of Your Com-puter Lady has received the �010 All Star

Award from Constant Contact, Inc. Those of you who receive our e-news-letters know how well Pamela has pushed Sources+Design into cyberspace. Also a congratulations to interior designer Cindy Senger’s Senger Design Group, which received the Adaptive Re-Use Award at the �011 Interna-tional facilities Management Association’s COFAX (Colorado Facilities Awards of Excellence) for the interior design of Clyde’s, a university pub. It’s one of the remodeling projects you’ll see in this issue.

Robin GraySteffany Hollingsworth, ASID

Within Santa Fe, New Mexico’s tightly knit design community, architect Robin Gray and interior designer Steffany Hollingsworth knew of each other for several years before a rug linked them professionally. Hollingsworth and her business partner, interior designer Heather Van Luchene, ASID, of HVL Interiors, asked Gray, who’s also an accomplished textile artist, to design a rug for a hotel project. Hollingsworth, a Texas native and graduate of Texas Tech, and Gray, a grad of Pratt Institute who started her architec-tural career in the Caribbean, collaborated more recently on a new home in the foothills above Santa Fe. The clients, from Texas, found common ground with Hollingsworth and commissioned Gray, whose rugs are represented by numerous showrooms, to cre-ate several rugs for the new house. We’re touring the end result in this issue’s “Residential Walk-Through.”

Lynette Pollari, AIASteve Thompson, AIA

Architects Lynette Pollari and Steve Thompson had several things in common when they met at Cunningham Group in Minneapolis. They both were graduates of the University of California, Berkeley and had come up through the ranks by working for various archi-tectural firms around the country. They were also both passionately interested in sustainable design. Marriage ensued, and Pollari and Thompson came to Phoenix in 1996 to start a Cunningham office in Arizona. By 1997, they’d launched their own concern, Thompson + Pollari, specializing in private schools, Native American projects and multi-family workforce housing. More recently, they’ve expanded their portfolio to include custom residential work. Thompson and Pollari’s renovation of a mid-century ranch-style home is featured in this issue.

Cindy Senger, ASID, LEED APWhen interior designer launched her Senger Design Group in

Colorado Springs in 1991, everyone told her to get a niche. It was one piece of business advice she’s glad she ignored. “We’re very diverse,” says Senger of her five-person firm. “That was always my intent from the start. We have numerous ‘niches.’” Indeed, Senger’s recent projects have ranged from a microbrewery res-taurant to a high-security military defense facility at an Air Force base. “Those projects are part of what I call our large commercial umbrella that includes hospitality, healthcare, office, retail, govern-ment and more,” notes the South Dakota native. Senger, president-elect of ASID Colo-rado, recently completed Clyde’s, the renovation of a pub on the campus of the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. It’s featured in this issue. n

IA and the American Library Association has honored the Harmon Branch Library by Richard + Bauer Architecture of Phoenix with a national 2011 AIA/ALA Library Build-

ing Award. The Phoenix branch library was conceived as a kaleidoscope, meant to express the community’s

diversity, with primarily linear space framed at each end with a large expanse of saw-tooth glass. Addition-ally, colored linear skylights and slot windows refract light throughout the space. The Arizona library was one of

five projects honored by the biennial design award com-petition.

SmithGroup Phoenix has received a national AIA

award for its design of the Saguaro Building at Mesa

Community College in Mesa, Arizona. The project, which incorporates everything from a black box theater to science-oriented terrariums and an outdoor cafe into one build-ing, won the highest honor, an Excellence Award, from the AIA Committee on Archi-

tecture for Education Educa-

tional Facility Design Awards

competition. The building was one of three honored with an Excellence Award and one of 13 total projects recognized.

RNL Denver’s Research Support Facility at the

National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Col-orado has been selected as a national AIA Committee on

the Environment Top Ten Green Project. RNL designed the ��,000-square-foot building with the goal of creating the largest com-mercial net-zero energy structure in the country. The project was delivered

by a design/build team that included Haselden Construc-

tion and Stantec as the energy consultant and mechani-cal, electrical and plumbing engineer.

The Arizona Chapter ASLA has named JJR/Floor of Phoenix as the chapter’s Office of the Year. Founded by landscape architects Kris Floor and Chris Brown, the firm is known for such projects as Lost Dog Wash Trailhead and The Gateway to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale, and the Desert Lives exhibit at Phoenix Zoo.

The Mulvaney Medical Office Building, designed by Boise, Idaho-based CSHQA, an architecture and engi-neering firm, has received LEED Gold certification for Core & Shell. The three-story, 70,000-square-foot building is located on the Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center cam-pus, also in Boise, and features such sustainable strategies as a roof garden, sky-lights, exterior shading devices and an energy-efficient building envelope.

CSHQA also received a 2011 Orchid award from Pres-

ervation Idaho for its renovation of the First National

Bank of Driggs building. The 1916 structure had been “modernized” in the 1970s. The architectural and engi-neering firm worked with the building’s current owner, KeyBank, to restore the structure to its original details.

In other CSHQA news, the firm has announced two new team members. Mary Cahill, who has more than �0 years’ experience as a project man-ager and designer, has joined the interiors department. Steven Hardy has joined the firm’s mechani-cal engineering department as a senior mechanical engineer. Hardy received his bachelor’s in mechani-cal engineering technology from Binghamton University in New York.

Scottsdale, Arizona-based DPA Architects, Inc. has been commissioned to design two new Eddie V’s res-taurants. The first restaurant, located in the Scottsdale Quarter mixed-use project, includes seating for �75, an oyster bar, wine room and three private dining rooms. It

opened in Febru-ary. The second location, in La Jolla, California, is designed to accommodate ocean views and an indoor/outdoor dining experience.

It is scheduled for completion this summer. Albuquerque-based architectural firm

Molzen Corbin has completed the renova-

tion of the University of New Mexico’s

historic basketball arena. The project, completed in association with Denver-based sports architecture firm Sink Combs

Dethlefs, included the addition of more than 84,000 square feet to the arena known as The Pit for its steep seating, as well as the integration of the existing �6,000-square-foot Davalos Basketball Center, creating a �60, 698-square-foot facility. The project also included a new main lobby, new seat-ing, luxury suites, restrooms, technology, locker facilities and concessions. The project is on track to receive LEED Gold certifica-

tion. Builder was Flintco West, Inc. of Albu-querque.

Shepley Bulfinch of Phoenix has com-pleted the adaptive re-use of 1940s strip mall

into a neighborhood restaurant/ bar and ice cream parlor. The architectural firm cre-ated an indoor/outdoor setting for the newly named Windsor and Churn in central Phoe-nix with the addition of a patio and court-yard. Interiors include the use of reclaimed and vintage materials.

Dunn-Edwards has opened the world’s

first LEED-certified paint manufacturing

facility in Phoenix. The 336,000-square-foot building includes manufacturing and product development facilities, quality-con-

trol laboratories, a distribution center, retail outlet and office space. Sustainable strategies utilized include dust-collection systems that capture and recycle particulates, wastewater recycling and energy-efficient lighting. The new facility has the capacity to expand another 40,000 square feet. The paint firm was founded in California in 19�5 and now distributes architectural paints and sup-plies in California.

}}} W h a t ’s I n A N a m e ? N a m i n g o r R e n a m i n g Yo u r B u s i n e s s

cannot count the number of times that, after I hand over my card emblazoned with “Layer Cake,” a bank teller or office supply store clerk has ignored the tagline (Creative Marketing Strategies) and excitedly inquired, “Do you bake wedding cakes?” Even the custodian in our office building asked this just after we moved in, despite the fact that the office suite has no kitchen facilities outside of a microwave, sink and small fridge.

When I don’t feel like launching into the “actually, we’re a marketing and PR firm” spiel, I remind myself that it’s my fault. Or, more accurately, that engaging people in conversation was part of my naming strategy. So, on top of the 30-second story of why Layer Cake (rec-ognizable, celebratory) and how it’s relevant to marketing communications (layered efforts, quality ingredients, cre-ative but exacting), I bring them into my confidence by winking, “Now just between us, wouldn’t naming a bakery ‘Layer Cake’ be terribly dull?”

So, in less than a minute, my company’s name has been an ice-breaker, has made someone grin and has allowed me to dem-onstrate a bit of our expertise. Not bad for a handful of words and a great logo (that’s another column).

If you’re naming a new business, congratulations! It’s an exciting and rare opportunity to express yourself and send a powerful message to potential clients. It can be daunting, but with forethought, open-minded creativity, honesty and test-marketing, you can find a name that sits comfortably as the centerpiece of your brand.

Do you want a name that seems more warm or polished, more humorous or elegant, more timely or timeless? Do you want people to know imme-diately what you do, or do you want to pique their curios-ity? All of these attributes and goals can be conveyed by a name, not to mention your business’ legal structure (e.g., LLC, PC or LLP) and possibly even relevant professional appellations such as ASID, ASLA, IIDA or AIA.

Many businesses in the design and construction realm are named for their founder and sole proprietor/principal/owner. Many “starchitects” and other media-savvy design types take this tack, which takes advantage of personal wattage to power the entire company. This approach is also simple, classic and timeless, with no worry about going out of style. Do consider whether tying the firm to a single individual (or founding team) will hinder growth via client perceptions or employee buy-in.

Another option is to add a descriptor to your services (e.g., Quality Engineering). You can get very creative here, but be sure to test your descriptors with others to make sure they have the same associations that you do with the word(s) that you select.

Finally, you might decide (as I did) to choose a name that is seemingly unrelated to your area of expertise (or perhaps a made-up word). In addition to a great tagline, make sure that this type of name has an impeccable pedi-gree: that is, a proper naming (branding) effort.

This is by no means a full set of instructions, but nam-ing should consist of three basic pieces, and they will overlap:

1. Brainstorming. Think about the image that you want to project and the services you want to offer, and write down all the words and phrases that come to mind.

Ruminate for a few days, then revisit the effort and narrow your choices–at least three sessions total.

2. Test-marketing. Share your top choices with a few confidants–friends, family, potential clients and peers–and gauge their reactions. Allow them to speak freely. After all, you don’t want the moniker that makes people say, “Wow. Didn’t they run that name past anyone?!”

3. Researching. Many business names are copyrighted or trademarked–and some will be your favorites. Long before you’ve iden-tified your “forever” name, roam the Inter-net (and with the Secretary of State’s office) to make sure you’re not in love with a name that’s taken. Similarly, since websites (not to mention social media, blogging, etc.) are so vital, check registry sites to see that your

business name is available as a website that is clear and easy to remember.

There are nearly endless options for business names. Many are adequate, some are good, a few are just right. How will you ever know? Instead of fretting about whether the name embodies your personality, sense of style, sense of humor, think about handing out a business card. If the imprinted name makes you proud or makes you smile, it’s just right! n

}}} T i m e F o r T h e L e a d e r To S t e p A s i d e

s design firms grow, seldom do the existing owners recognize that their own leader-ship style may be prohibiting the firm from moving to the next level. There are distinct

plateaus through which firms grow. For a firm to move off a plateau, generally the top leadership of the firm must change its culture and behavior. This often requires a new CEO and a redefinition of the firm’s vision for its own future.

The absence of succession planning in most design firms may be the single most significant factor that causes these firms to remain very small. Here are some of the additional characteristics found at the various plateaus along the growth curve in professional design practice.

Small design firm plateau (the 25-person plateau):

• Owners are the primary marketers.• Owners are the primary project man-agers on all projects.

• Owners keep most financial informa-tion secret.

• Owners stamp all drawings.• Owners maintain all client contacts.• Owners work 50 to 60 hours per week.

• Owners sign all checks.• Owners pledge personal assets to secure all lending.

Medium-sized design firm plateau (the 100-person plateau):

• Ownership transition has been planned but not executed.

• Associate programs have been put in place to retain key people.

• The firm is working on the development of a PM program to develop future PM leadership.

• PMs participate in marketing, but principals still lead the marketing effort.

• Financial management systems have been put in place to share project finances with PMs.

• All profits are distributed to owners to minimize taxation.

• The firm has experienced the resignation of key people who have left the firm and perhaps become competitors.

• Only owners sit on the board of directors.

• The firm has no acquisition strategy and prefers organic growth.

Larger design firm plateau (the 400-person plateau):• Ownership has been broadened, but there is still a small group of controlling owners that own the majority of shares in the company. (Generally eight to 10 of the 400 people own shares.)

• There is often still a 51-percent-owner involved in ownership.

• All growth has been organic, and the culture of the firm dictates that growth should remain organic.

• The board of directors of the firm is still made up of existing owners.

• The firm’s financial culture still dic-tates that nearly all profits are distrib-uted to owners rather than retained.

• The firm regularly discusses reorga-nization to improve efficiency and profitability.

• Because the firm’s shares have increased, it becomes more difficult for new owners to buy out retiring owners.

• The firm has numerous overhead managers such as finance managers, marketing directors, IT managers, human resource managers and branch office managers.

• The firm has multiple branch offices, and can be characterized as a “collec-tion of smaller firms.”

• The firm struggles with ever increasing demands on cash.

If your firm is stuck on a plateau, consider some of these actions to initiate your move to the next level of growth:

1. Bring in outside independent directors to your board. Doing so will prompt a different level of dis-cussion amongst your owners about the impact of growth on your firm.

�. Conduct a true strategic planning session that addresses the strategic differences necessary to pro-pel your firm to the next level, such as changing the ownership structure of your firm, changing the capital structure of your firm, developing a merger and acquisition team, and/or changing the CEO.

If your firm

plateau,

consider some

to initiate

next level.


3. Redefine the culture of your firm from a controlling partnership to a business-centered practice. Moving from a culture defined by owners who regularly think about their percentage of ownership to a cul-ture in which owners think about the increasing value per share of the company requires a complete overhaul of the capital structure and leadership behavior in most firms.

4. Create an acquisition strategy and an acquisition team to execute it. Most design firms that overcome the plateau dilemma have char-acteristically developed a strong acquisition strategy to propel beyond organic growth.

5. Develop a comprehensive ten-year capitalization plan that projects the amount of capital required to grow to certain levels.

6. Significantly reduce the restrictions on ownership so that all employees and perhaps even non-employees can buy shares in your firm.

7. Change the CEO of the firm rec-ognizing that a CEO’s leadership style may embrace many of the characteristics pointed out at each plateau.

8. Develop a Retained Earnings strat-egy to build the capital value of the business and learn to pay taxes to fund it.

Not every firm will be frustrated by remaining on a plateau, but those firms that want to grow to take advantage of larger projects will find that growth occurs as a result of the necessity to add people to service those projects. The resulting unplanned growth may result in a firm that f luctuates in size along one of the three plateaus possessing all of the characteristics described plus others while struggling with all of those issues over and over again.

TeChnology

ow often should I backup? Clients often ask me this question. My somewhat cynical answer is, “Often enough not to commit

suicide when your hard drive crashes.” We know that someday that hard drive will crash!

Consider these factors:• Amount of data input. If I’m sitting at my

desk entering client data for eight hours a day, I want to backup hourly. If I’m occa-sionally using my computer for a client pro-posal or letter, daily will be enough.

• Difficulty in re-creating the data. If I lost my bank reconciliation for one month, it would be easy to redo that work. Not pleasant, but easy. If I lost a BIM file, CAD drawing or project management file, it would hard to re-create the work. Lots of time to duplicate the work. Double payroll. Deadline delays. If I lost a design concept, it would be impossible to re-create the file.

• Importance of the data. If I’m audited, I need my accounting records to be avail-able for seven years. If I need to reconstruct events, e-mails documenting a project can be invaluable in case of legal action or client questions.

So based on the above factors, you need to decide how often to back up.

Multiple Backup CopiesThe more important the data, the more copies of the

backup you want to have and the farther apart the copies should be. Don’t have one CD of your critical files! For example, my client data is my business, so I have a copy in my office in case I need to go back a couple of years to retrieve a brochure that a client wants updated. I have a second copy in my car. If the office burns down, the car

would probably survive since I have detached parking. Then I have a third copy online.

Online Backup ServicesI love online backups. They automatically happen on a

set schedule. Heaven knows, we don’t want to rely on my memory! I get an e-mail if something goes wrong with the backup. I can access the files from any computer in case I need something when I’m at a client’s office. Some services even allow file sharing to eliminate the need for a separate storage account to share with collaborators.

Features between online companies vary greatly. E-mail me if you would like a copy of my comparison chart.

Some services charge by user by file size. Others charge just by file size. So an archi-tectural firm with huge BIM and CAD files would want to shop for the best file size pro-vider. A one-person-resume firm would do better with a per-user account.

Time and Stress TipsSet up your files so that everything goes

into My Documents: your QuickBooks file, Microsoft Office files, photos...every-

thing. Then when you back up either to a DVD or to your online service, all you have to do is backup My Docu-ments. You don’t have to wander all over the hard drive to spot different files. This will also save you a lot of time finding your files!

Don’t place files on your Desktop. Put the file in My Documents, then put a short cut on the desktop. Your files are safe in the backup set but you have quick access!

Outlook PST files can cause a problem with online backup if you use a service that backs up the entire file every time instead of doing an incremental backup. In other words, if you add a � KB e-mail to your Outlook file, an incremental service will backup just the new � KB e-mail. A total file replacement could be 4 GB or more depending on your version of Outlook and set up. n

arianne Mulhall found her calling–helping designers find unique carpeting and flooring solutions for projects–when she unexpectedly got into the showroom business some 17 years ago.

Mulhall, an interior design graduate of Arizona State University, had spent �0 years doing commercial design

at Barrows, the grande dame of Phoenix furniture stores. At loose ends when the company closed shop in 1994, Mulhall took an offer to work with some fellow Barrows alums who were opening up a f loorcovering showroom. “I found that I really liked working with interior design-ers,” Mulhall explains, “especially doing custom rugs.

I could speak their lan-guage.”

In �006, Mulhall launched her own to-the-trade showroom, Design Surfaces. “I knew I never really wanted to work totally alone,” she says, “and most of the show-room spaces I’d looked at were too big for me.” Instead, she opted to share a lease and split the f loorplan of a larger showroom space with colleagues Charlotte Roper and Erin Hopper, whose complementary MN showroom features furniture and accessories. They moved into a space at the Scottsdale Design Dis-trict. Last year, both show-rooms relocated to a more visible locale with in the design center.

Interior designers who visit Design Sur-faces will find Mulhall a font of information and appreciate the variety of her carpeting, rug and wood flooring lines, which include Couristan, Bellbridge, Concepts Interna-tional, Carmen of Rodeo, Nikzad and Ark Floors. She specializes in finding compa-nies that offer out-of-the-ordinary prod-ucts, such as alpaca area rugs and reclaimed

wood made from the worn, mottled boards used to make commercial mushroom-growing beds.

Mulhall has also brought in other products to her airy, �,000-square-foot showroom, includ-ing cork f looring, leather f looring and wall tiles, wallcoverings and architec-tural glass that can be fused with plants, parchment paper or other decorative items to create cabinetry and door inserts, partitions, countertops and even stair risers. Browse the show-room closely and you’ll find additional products, such as polypropylene area rugs that look like sisal and last outdoors, and a line of

door hardware that adds a sculptural ele-ment to everything from entry doors to appliances.

Mulhall knows how to steer designers toward products that offer value, longev-ity and performance and is willing to ship products all over the country. “I’ve sent car-pets to Virginia and Connecticut. We can make it happen.”

With so many years in the design indus-try, Mulhall is philosophical about the current state of the economy and has seen a dra-matic, positive shift in what her interior design clients are specifying. “We’re not f lip-ping houses any more,” she notes. “People are not build-ing houses to sell and move on to the next best thing. We’re staying in our houses longer, so interior design is becoming more personal. Clients are choosing prod-ucts that are important and valuable to them.”

For interior designers, Mulhall is ready with prod-uct ideas and advice.

T WAS The TYpiCAL SuburbAN reMoDeLiNg STorY: A CoupLe with three young children buy a 1956 ranch-style home in paradise Valley and live in it for several years before tackling a major renovation. Two factors, however, made the project not quite so typical: The homeowners are avowed modernists who love classic palm Springs designs, and the home is located on a lush, 1.7-acre desert lot with spectacular views of landmark Camelback and Mummy mountains. The owners knew they wanted a renovation that was both modern and linked to the landscape and views.

“The original house really had no views,” explains architect Steve Thompson who, with his wife and part-ner, architect Lynette pollari, were asked to handle the remodeling and expansion project. “it had no connection to the outdoors. Also, it was getting to be too small for an active family.”

Working with the existing single-story, 3,300-square-foot house as the “belly” of the remodeling and expansion, pollari and Thompson came up with a new floorplan that used what they call the “domino effect” of reorganizing spaces. “The old living room became the new dining room,” pollari says, “while the old dining room became a sitting area, and so forth.”

The new floorplan includes a grander, repositioned entry. To the north, the existing house became the din-ing room, sitting area, children’s wing and a corner home office. Additionally, the existing kitchen was transformed

into an activity room, where the children could do homework, plus a laundry and hallway to accommo-date cubbies for the children’s books, backpacks and sporting equipment.

on the south side of the house, the existing garage was demolished to make way for a new kitchen as well as a new addition that includes a great room and second-story master suite. A new garage with a roof deck was tucked to the side of the addition.

Views drove the new plan, explains Thompson. “The new great room has 16-foot-high ceilings so we could do glass walls that frame Camelback Mountain views to the south. putting the new kitchen where the garage was also gave it views of Camelback and the landscape.” The upper-level master suite has moun-tain views from both the bedroom and the shower, and includes a deck that looks uphill toward Mummy Mountain, as well as Camelback. pollari and Thompson also worked to create numerous patio and deck areas, including an outdoor family room.

even though the house grew to be more than 6,000

square feet and two stories in size, careful placement makes it recede into its site. “When you look at it from the street or neighbors’ lots, the house is subdued,” says Thompson. “We also made sure that there was privacy for the homeowners, even with all the new windows.”

in elevation, the renovated house includes flat, can-tilevered rooflines and bold, angled masonry block walls that run from exterior through interior. Materials also include butt-glazed window walls, metal and fir glulam beams. The interior is detailed with scored concrete and wood flooring, tongue-in-groove ceilings, steel i-beams, granite countertops, maple cabinetry and tile accents.

Throughout the house, the architects added numerous touches that help frame the homeowners’ collection of contemporary furniture and art. A deep mustard-hued Venetian plaster was used to accent some walls, while others were colored with a smoke-tinged green hue. The eight-foot-square pivoting entry door is clad in textured panels, which, pollari points out, were also used on

the kitchen island. “We used color and texture to keep the interior from being stark and cold,” she notes.

outdoors, patios and decks were furnished with comfortable seating and overscale pots and containers. The outdoor family room includes a flat-screen TV for al fresco playoff viewing.

The completed house has provided the fam-ily with not only new views and outdoor living spaces, but an interior where they can both be together and find individual privacy.

or YeArS, The pub AT The uNiVerSiTY oF CoLorADo at Colorado Springs was a low-key hangout where students, fac-ulty and staff could get a bottle of beer or a soda, and play some pool or ping pong.

an official name. Decor? A few bar tables, stools and game tables scattered between a two-story atrium space and an adjoining cave-like room. The art con-sisted of conduit snaking up one wall.

in 2009, university officials realized that a redesign of the space could make it a true gathering spot for faculty, students and staff, a point of pride that would appeal to the school’s diverse community, both day and night. They also wanted a place that could be leased to outside groups. The university commis-sioned interior designer Cindy Senger, principal of Senger Design group, and hb&A architects to handle the remodeling of the pub.

“There really was no design there,” recalls Senger of her first walk-through of the space. “it was some-what of a hodgepodge. The part of the pub that was in the atrium was really disjointed. people walking by on the second level could look down, and it was very noisy.”

The first design hurdle was choosing a name for the

pub. A vote picked Clyde’s, after the school’s moun-tain lion mascot. Working with the architectural firm and her own interior design team, which included Jocelyn Downing, LeeD Ap, and beth Vincent, ASiD, Senger suggested a more intimate, den-like design for the newly named pub, a setting that would reflect the university’s mountain locale.

The design team handled numerous back-of-house improvements, including the addition of an adjacent prep kitchen where Clyde’s menu items could be assembled after coming from the building’s main kitchen, adding grease interceptor access and incor-porating technology solutions.

one of the first new elements in the design scheme came in the form of a sinuous, slatted, floating ceil-ing. The ceiling panels serve to lower the two-story atrium space to human scale as well as to provide a visual barrier between the pub and the second story without compromising the daylight from the atrium’s floor-to-ceiling bank of windows. “The dark wood

Opposite page below: A view of the pub before renovation.


ceiling also serves as a framework for additional lighting,” explains Senger.

An exposed brick wall was retained and used by Senger as a springboard for a color scheme that includes deep red, gold, espresso and black. “We wanted a warm look here,” Senger notes, “but we specifically did not use school colors. We wanted Clyde’s to be a space unto itself.”

Working within the university’s tight budget,

Senger chose comfortable furnishings for each of the pub’s three areas–bar, dining and lounge, and specified fabrics and finishes that could withstand constant daily use. The varied seating heights allowed Clyde’s patrons to view activities on the small stage, be it karaoke or open mic performances. Senger had banquettes upholstered in mixed fabric patterns to reiterate the campus theme of diversity and used modular carpet tile in an organic pattern for flooring. “The tiles can be replaced for easy maintenance.”

The new Clyde’s kept only one of the pool tables for patrons, which Senger had refinished and felted to go with the new color scheme. Additionally, a local artist was commissioned to create a series of mountain lion-themed artworks for the pub, including a larger-than-life mountain lion crossing road sign that anchors the room.

opened last october, the new, 2,673-square-foot pub has been offering a new menu and selection of microbrews, and drawing patrons who linger to eat, drink and socialize.

Clyde’s has succeeded beyond all expectations. “in the first quarter alone, revenues were four times the projected estimates,” says Senger. “people like it. it’s a different experience, for a university.” n

The site for the new house, explains gray, is in the Wilder-ness gate area above the city. “The property, which is five acres, has great views looking down into town and has hiking access. The clients had owned it for about 12 years.”

with subtle Japanese influences, emphasizing views and access to the outdoors.

in plan, a raised, walled courtyard leads to the entrance of the 4,200-square-foot, three-bedroom house, which opens onto the living room, dining area and an adjacent patio. This more public side of the house also includes a media room and office, while a generously sized kitchen, master suite, garage and guest bedrooms surround an interior courtyard, which is highlighted by a water feature. “it tends to get windy in that area,” notes gray, “so we designed a protected courtyard.”

in elevation, the exterior of the house includes a flat roof, a stepped-back design and canales that speak to regional design motifs, but with a crisper edge. Soft gray exterior walls are contrasted by an accent wall clad in hammered basalt that serves as an anchoring element and runs from outdoors to in. Walkways and surfaces for the courtyards and portales are tinted concrete, with a rice finish. “raw rice gets rolled across the concrete as it’s setting,” explains gray, “then as it dries, the rice shrinks and can be brushed off, leaving a texture.”

indoors, gray and hollingsworth collaborated on materials and finish selections. Limestone and mesquite flooring add an organic quality to the inte-rior, while pale clay plaster walls reflect abundant daylighting. Cabinetry in the kitchen and bathrooms is horizontally scraped fir, stained a rich brown, toped with thick okite countertops. in the master bath,

flooring is a ceramic tile that looks like Cor-Ten steel, underscoring walls of marble tile.

Custom touches abound, including gray’s design for the sculptural steel hood in the kitchen, the shoji screens that can close off the kitchen from the dining room and the courtyard’s water feature, which is framed by a Chinese red wall. in the dining room, hollingsworth and gray designed a wall-mounted console, crafted of weathered steel and wood.

Furnishings and accessories were largely selected by hollingsworth from the clients’ existing

pieces. “The challenge was retrofitting existing furniture from the previous houses in Santa Fe and houston,” explains hollingsworth. “We chose furniture that fit with the scale and look of the new house, and selected new fabrics and some accent pieces.” hollingsworth also placed art throughout the house, including in a hallway to the master bedroom, which serves as a gallery.

in the living room, hollingsworth had two rust-colored sofas recovered in a muted fabric to allow a vividly colored area rug from the homeowner’s collection to become a focal point. A custom cop-

per and iron coffee table freshens the setting. in the dining room, hollingsworth had the classic Mcguire chairs’ seat cushions reupholstered in a durable commercial fabric, while gray designed a custom area rug with a stylized peony motif.

For the master bedroom, hollingsworth drew inspiration from an antique kimono, which she had displayed above the bed, and from the coral and

green tones of an antique indian dental cabinet, displayed in the room. “Those are the things that drove the color palette,” she notes.

recently completed, the home is a new, yet familiar, place for the homeowners to begin a new phase in their lives. it’s intimate enough for the two of them, yet provides enough space for entertain-ing and visits from family and friends. n

PRIDE IN ONE’S WORKIIDA Southwest Chapter’s 2011 Design Awards

Best of Show and Design Excellence, Education

t a recent ceremony at the new Westin hotel in downtown phoenix, 18 interiors projects were honored with 2011 priDe (professional recipient of interior Design excellence) awards from the iiDA Southwest Chapter. The chapter, which includes Arizona, New Mexico and Las Vegas, honored everything from a master suite to a city hall with best of Show, Design excellence and Award of Merit designations.

once a county library, the building was converted to become the community college’s new home for its math division, as well as a center for teaching and learning, continuing education offices, and an agribusiness and equine center charter school. With 24 classrooms, areas for testing, faculty offices and support spaces, the building’s design provides an environment that fosters creativity and collaboration, and encourages students to stay on campus.

SmithGroupPhoenix, Arizona

Designed to consolidate numerous city offices and provide a gateway into the city’s historic downtown district, the new, 137,700-square-foot complex features an interior with flexible office space and materials that include bamboo walls, terrazzo flooring and architectural glass. The glass-clad council chambers space is marked by a dramatic, crenelated ceiling design. The project was designed to become LeeD gold certified.

Polsinelli ShughartPhoenix, Arizona

GenslerPhoenix, Arizona

A new downtown office for a law firm with other locations nationwide celebrates city views and natural daylight by taking advantage of the building’s long expanses of exterior glass. A sense of strength and stability was achieved through the use of geometry, precise alignments and refined materials. The interior is further marked by the use of oversized pivot doors and oak flooring, reclaimed from old barns in the ohio river Valley.

SCF Arizona Transact Tenant Improvement Phoenix, Arizona

MRT DesignPhoenix, Arizona

The challenge was to create a 4,818-square-foot office space and showroom for Transact, a commercial furnishings dealer, in a short amount of time within an existing building. The design team was able to conceal massive ductwork via multiple ceiling planes and mitigate acoustical reflection with judicious use of carpeting and acoustical tile. Concrete floors, white surfaces with bursts of intense color and industrial lighting were combined to create an uncomplicated, design-oriented background to showcase furniture lines that include Kimball office and hoN.

Design Excellence, Creativity on a Budget

When an established law firm relocated their offices to two floors and 34,000 square feet within their same building, the desire was to create a setting that expressed both traditional values and a progressive outlook. The design emphasis was kept on public spaces by utilizing such strategies as rich finishes, custom workstations and teak cabinetry. The almost stark envelope of private spaces provides an opportunity to display the firm’s art collection.

The design of the regional office of a national law firm emphasizes flexibility and sustainability. The plan, which accommodates more than 50 attorneys and associates, was developed to accommodate possible growth or contraction as the business climate shifts, and includes a spacious lobby and conferencing areas that can be used for private and even civic functions within the office. Sustainable strategies include sourc-ing custom pivot doors and privacy glazing from local suppliers, and the use of FSC veneers.

Design Excellence, Hospitality and Restaurant

The Ritz Carlton Golf Club Dove MountainMarana, Arizona

Studio4DesignPhoenix, Arizona

The 25,000-square-foot clubhouse is part of a resort devel-opment that includes a hotel and custom homes, and its programming challenge was to develop a space that would serve as both a private club and an amenity for hotel guests. The space planning keeps members-only spaces apart from areas designated for hotel guests. As the clubhouse was designed to serve as an amenity and an alternative dining choice for hotel guests, another challenge was to create an interior atmosphere that was complementary to the ambi-ance of the hotel itself. The scope of the project included back-of-house spaces, members’ facilities, locker rooms, lounge areas, a main restaurant and patios.


hoT shoTs

ince becoming an architectural photog-rapher in 1988, Vic Moss has had many

yin/yang moments in the profession. He’s spent a week in Maui, shooting the Grand Wailea Resort and climbed on the roof of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello to shoot its gleaming dome. Moss has also shot a mining company’s board of direc-tors deep in a dank Tennessee zinc mine, herded flamingos at a zoo to get images of signage and waded through cow pies to shoot a dairy for a builder. “My assistant couldn’t drink milk for about a month,” he recalls.

Between adventures, Moss has become known as a solid photographer who carefully crafts angles and lighting, and counts Denver-

area home builders, developers, architects, inte-rior designers and kitchen designers as clients.

Born in Tucson, “raised all over the place,” Moss attended high school in Lakewood, Colo-rado, then went to George Mason University in Virginia to study physics and English. When he realized he’d have to work in his field of study, Moss opted out and returned to Colorado in 1984.

Needing a job, he found a gig delivering film for a photo lab in Frisco, Colorado, the epicenter of several ski resorts. “We processed a lot of film for photographers who took vacation pictures of skiers at the top of the lifts,” Moss explains. “I thought about doing that, but I decided it was too cold.”

Instead, Moss studied photography at the Art Institute of Colorado in Denver, then began assisting for a number of area photographers, working on everything from annual reports to architecture. Architecture became his passion and specialty when he opened his own studio in 199�. “I don’t have the patience to be an archi-tect, but I can spend hours tweaking the lighting on a shoot,” Moss says. “Go figure.”

Moss’ first big client was a major production

home builder in Denver, and he shot exteriors, model home interiors and awards submissions. Other clients followed, and his portfolio expanded to include custom home, commercial and multi-family projects, with his photographs being used for marketing, advertising and print purposes.

“When I first started, everyone wanted sexy night lighting,” Moss reflects. “Now, everyone wants natural daylight. I still light shots to create that ‘natural’ look.”

He’s gone “wholeheartedly” into large-format digital equipment and has worked regularly with his assistant, Todd Pierson, for eight years.

Moss is also philosophical about the current economy. “We’ve been through setbacks before,” he says. “I think everything is coming back.”

In other words, Moss won’t be going back to his ear-lier fields of study, physics and English, as career options any time soon. He prefers the adventures of photogra-phy. “I’ve shot small starter homes and incredible cus-tom homes. Each day is different. You meet really cool people.” n
