LAGUARDIA
AIRPORT
CENTRAL TERMINAL B
New York, New York, USA
The design of LaGuardia Airport’s Central Terminal

B will provide a state-of-the-art passenger terminal
and modern New York travel experience. The
35-gate terminal will replace the existing 1964
Central Terminal Building and optimize use of the
airport’s limited airside and landside real estate.
The design for the new terminal will transform

LaGuardia Airport into a single, unified hub with
expanded transportation access and best-in-class
passenger amenities. A phased construction
approach allows it to be built on the constrained
site with minimal impact to existing operations.
To optimize airfield performance and efficiencies,

the team devised an island-concourse gate
configuration. A pair of pedestrian bridges
connects the headhouse to the island concourses.
The bridges traverse over active taxilanes and
offer sweeping views of the airfield and
Manhattan skyline.
The interior will feature intuitive wayfinding,

ensuring the efficient movement of passengers
through the terminal. Other enhancements will
include an abundance of natural light at all levels,
short curb-to-gate walking distances, regional
cuisine and concession offerings, and spacious
waiting areas with ample seating capacity.
By moving the terminal closer to Grand Central

Parkway, the project will expand the airport
taxiways by more than two miles and reduce
airport ground delays.
Under a 35-year lease agreement with the Port

Authority of New York and New Jersey, LaGuardia
Gateway Partners (LGP) will design, build, manage
and maintain LaGuardia’s Terminal B. LGP includes
Vantage Airport Group, Skanska and Meridiam
for development and equity investment; Skanska-
Walsh as the design-build joint venture; HOK
and WSP for architecture and engineering; and
Vantage Airport Group for airport operations and
management.
Half of the gates in the new Terminal B will open

INFORMATION to the public in 2019. The main terminal area will
open in early 2020, and a second set of gates will
open in two phases—one later in 2020 and the
CLIENT LaGuardia Gateway Partners final phase in 2021.
The project is expected to achieve LEED Silver

certification for sustainable design.

“The design is intended as a commentary on the contemporary expectation of air travel—a celebration of
movement utilizing an architecture of transparency and fluidity. The terminal is a civic building serving as a noble
welcome to New York. In the spirit of the city’s great high-rises like the Woolworth and Chrysler buildings, which in
their time were considered cathedrals of commerce, we see the new terminal as a cathedral of mobility.”

LAGUARDIA
AIRPORT
MASTER PLAN
HOK’s comprehensive master plan and design

guidelines for the new LaGuardia Airport will
ensure visual continuity as the projects and phases
of development proceed beyond construction of
Central Terminal B, designed by the LaGuardia
Gateway Partners joint venture of HOK/WSP.
The guiding principle for the plan is to create a

single unified airport of multiple terminals across
a varied landscape of constraints and existing
conditions. The master plan team developed
design guidelines for the long-term redevelopment
of all airport facilities to ensure design consistency
and to improve the passenger experience—from
the moment of arrival to the time of departure. A
key element of the plan is to phase and implement
various stages of programming while the airport
continues to operate.
The master plan concept focuses on the exterior

expression as viewed from the Grand Central
Parkway—a view that will project LaGuardia’s new
brand to the community and world.
Folded roof plates define the roofscape and form

of the new Central Terminal B, giving LaGuardia a
distinctive shape. Terminal C and the new AirTrain
stations will reinforce this architectural language.
The prominent roof shape introduces a unifying

canopy and defines a continuous edge that
integrates the new structures with the existing
garage and adjacent support facilities.
The flanking terminals will use similar headhouse

massing and architectural details to create visual
connectivity. The architectural expression of two
AirTrain stations will unify Terminal B with the new
Terminal C.
Located in the heart of the new airport, the Central

Hall will provide a grand entry point for arriving
passengers by car or AirTrain while also linking
Terminals B and C. A proposed airport hotel will
anchor the Central Hall.
The master plan guidelines unite over 2,000 continuous linear
40
INFORMATION feet of frontage along the parkway and further unify the airport
by defining a comprehensive approach to roadways, parking and
public transit with the AirTrain link to Willets Point Station.
CLIENT The Port Authority of New York + New Jersey
Extensive airfield improvements such as dual and loop taxilanes
will help the new LaGuardia Airport function efficiently into its
next century of service.

“The vision for a single, unified airport presented design and implementation challenges. By condensing the primary elements of the
new Central Terminal B into three key components―a ‘big roof,’ a continuous brow and a continuous enclosure language―we were
able to establish parameters for a single language across all the varied aspects of the Grand Central Parkway frontage. This also
reinforced linking Terminal B to Central Hall, existing and new parking structures, AirTrain stations and the new Terminal C.
We worked extensively with the Port Authority, airport stakeholders and Governor Cuomo’s Airport Advisory Panel to ensure the
guidelines illustrated great design for the airport of tomorrow, consistency and achievable programs for all parties.”

16th STREET NW
Washington, D.C., USA
The design rejuvenates and links two adjacent

1970s buildings into one freestanding,
trophy-class office building along 16th Street,
framing vistas to the White House in downtown
Washington, D.C. The concept pays respect to
this historic corridor while introducing modern
elements including an all-glass curtain
wall system.
As with many formal buildings within the district,

the design team chose limestone as the primary
exterior material. This is accentuated by glass
curtain wall systems with evergreen vines
supported along vertical tension cables. The
irregular structural bays of each building are
cloaked by new west and south facades. This new
unified facade design expression required careful
structural reinforcement at the existing edge of
slab conditions.
Evergreen vines positioned at the glass curtain

wall of alternating floors are sustained by a
hydroponic system that continuously circulates
tempered and nutrient-rich water to ensure growth
throughout the year.
The front plaza, which lies beyond the property

line, was conceived as a public park. Though
green space is not common along the 16th Street
corridor, this addition was fully supported by the
district’s Historic Preservation Review Board.
Spanning the full 16-foot floor-to-ceiling height of

the main lobby is a three-dimensional sculptural
wall that connects to the secondary lobby at the
north and spreads down into the subterranean
lobby. The solid basswood feature wall is
fabricated with Computer Numerical Control
technology optimized for efficient material use
and installation.
A monumental stair floating within a new two-story

atrium complements the fluid, dynamic sculptural
wall while seamlessly connecting the previously
separate building lobbies. This connective tissue
is mirrored in the public park, which features an
aluminum-perforated element that carves through
the landscape and links the main and secondary
building entrances.
The team took advantage of this unique repositioning
56
INFORMATION opportunity along the 16th Street corridor to create
an additional level of tenant space that replaces two
mechanical penthouses on top of the existing structure.
Adhering to zoning restrictions, this new penthouse level

is set back from the main facade. This creates public and
private rooftop terraces with views of the White House a

The hotel and condominium high-rise will be an

iconic addition to Houston’s skyline. The tower
is made up of three uniform volumes stacked
horizontally, with a dramatic shift in the middle.
Residents will enjoy expansive views of the park
and city.
Luxury condominiums on the upper levels feature

individual balconies with luxurious “plunge pools.”
Amenities include a pool and terraced gardens.
Thompson Hotels, a New York-based luxury hotel

chain, will operate the 180-key hotel. The design
creates a locally inspired Texas experience that
incorporates Thompson’s brand DNA.
The adjacent office building with approximately

340,000 square feet of Class A office space will
share the tower’s sleek, glazed look. The office
tower will feature an interior park and a lively
retail base.
With an organic form and smooth curves, the retail

pavilion welcomes the public into the complex. The
ground-level structure will house retail outlets as
well as a high-end fitness facility overlooking the
outdoor public areas.
Landscaped pathways, water features, outdoor

seating and a civic art program encourage public
activity on the site. A pedestrian overpass across
Allen Parkway links the development to Buffalo
Bayou Park.

SQUARE
PLAZA
San Francisco, California, USA
From housing the historic Ghirardelli Chocolate

Company’s headquarters to becoming our nation’s
first major adaptive reuse project, the 160-year-
old Ghirardelli Square is one of the United States’
most enduring icons.
In 1962, Lawrence Halprin and William Wurster

repurposed the historic factory buildings into
a tourism destination organized around a large
public plaza. Recognizing their cultural value for
future generations, the Woolen and Ghirardelli
buildings were listed on the National Register of
Historic Places in 1982.
Since the 1980s, a series of exterior alterations

departed from Halprin’s 1960s vision. These
changes introduced challenges including
inaccessibility, poor visual connections, excessive
clutter, blocked Bay views, incompatible materials
and circulation pinch points. All of this combined
to hinder use of the plaza and contributed to the
Square’s decline.
The team led the vision and master plan, design

guidelines and design projects to revitalize the
Square and guide future improvements.
Today, the new Square has become a vital

community space for San Francisco’s iconic
waterfront, social fabric and urban landscape,
providing settings for outdoor dining, art
exhibitions, music festivals and more.

to the Bay Area. Low-voltage, high-efficiency LED fixtures replace the historic incandescent masts, maintaining their character while
improving energy performance. Heat island reduction is achieved through new, high-reflectivity precast concrete pavers that decrease
the Square’s overall cooling and energy demands. Regionally native and adaptive vegetation replace the previous English garden
plantings to reduce water demand and increase regional biodiversity.
Because sustainability and accessibility go hand-in-hand, the design introduces universally accessible routes and systems that ensure
access to these new amenities and sustainable features across the Square.

MIXED-USE
DEVELOPMENT
DESIGN COMPETITION
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
The design creates a dynamic, multi-use

development anchored by an existing luxury
shopping mall. The two complementary, high-
performance towers reflect the grandeur and
upscale sophistication of the mall and its clientele.
Similarities in the design language allow the

towers—a 32-story office building and 35-story
hotel and serviced apartment building—to function
as a cohesive unit. The material and texture varies
between the two towers, giving each distinct
character. The office tower uses the contrast
between two alternating glass types to create a
texture varying from complete smoothness to deep
patterns with vertical shading fins. The slightly
taller hotel and serviced apartment tower features
a faceted stone facade with deep-set windows and
bronze accents that create a richness of color and
texture reminiscent of obsidian, onyx or gold ore.
Both buildings spring from their base with subtly

curving forms to frame the vehicular entry to the
development and a new ground-level mall entry.
As they rise, the towers reinforce this welcoming
gesture by twisting gently away from each other,
creating a simple yet elegant composition that
emphasizes the ground connections.
Featuring nearly identical floor plans at the top and

base of each tower, every floor plate has the same
area. This provides a high degree of flexibility for
commercial office layouts and room arrangements
for the hotel and apartments.
The hotel tower’s curved form maximizes the

number of rooms facing the north side, which
features desirable views over the main mall entry
court as well as commanding views of the plateau
beyond. Upper floors of both buildings offer
dramatic glimpses of Riyadh’s city center and the
King Abdullah Financial District to the south.
To improve energy performance, the design team

configured each tower to minimize the amount of
eastern and western facade exposure to the harsh
sun and positioned the buildings’ masses to shade
each other in the morning and evening.

OUR
URBAN
MIDWEST
Chicago, Illinois, USA
This research study identifies and analyzes major

population and lifestyle trends that impact urban
development in the Midwest region of the U.S.
The study reveals three macro trends within
the region: a shifting population, challenges of
deindustrialization and an increase in connectivity.
While migration to the nation’s urban city centers
remains a defining micro trend, the center of the
nation continues to lose population as people
relocate to the South and both coasts.
As the Midwest continues experiencing the

effects of de-industrialization, the region is also
undergoing a small, but significant shift toward
aligning its economies with new methods of
production. Though the Midwest ranks fourth
in the nation in the number of graduates with
technology-focused degrees, a large percentage of
these individuals leave the region after graduation.
With a robust highway and train network, the

Midwest is one of the most connected regions
in the U.S. Leveraging this connectivity requires
looking beyond the political borders of cities and
states to view the region as an interconnected
urban and economic unit.
The research is helping the team evaluate

the impact of its current project work within
the broader context of the region’s future
opportunities and challenges. Research insights
are also guiding the studio’s expansion strategies.
An exhibit within the HOK office highlights the

practice’s regional impact to clients, prospects
and other visitors. An accompanying booklet and
presentation will be used for community outreach,
educational activities and marketing opportunities.

TOWER
DESIGN
COMPETITION
Sydney, Australia
The design creates a tower structure that

addresses multiple scales, from silhouette to
surface, similar to the nearby Sydney Opera
House.
At the macro scale, the team designed the

814-foot-high tower to be the tallest building
in Sydney, with a distinct profile on the skyline.
At the micro scale, the tower is situated within
an active pedestrian zone in the city center. It
complements and promotes the busy pedestrian
laneway network while touching the ground as
lightly as possible, despite the building’s size.
Both scales help create a new city landmark and
welcoming destination for residents and visitors to
work, eat, shop and pass through.
To maximize space on the ground plane, the

design pushes the tower bulk to the ceiling of the
buildable envelope, lifting the first full floor plate
80 feet above the lobby. This gesture creates
a porous, multilevel ground plane and lobby,
accommodating grade changes on site. More
importantly, it encourages pedestrian movement
through the site and draws natural light into
otherwise cavernous laneway spaces.
To create a flexible office plan, the design creates

an offset core to the south of the building,
preserving coveted harbor and Sydney Opera
House views to the north.
An external structural shell supports office

flexibility through a 39-foot, column-free band
on the north side of the floor plan. The exterior
structural grid also protects the north facade from
direct solar exposure. The design team, which
included HOK’s in-house structural engineers,
developed a highly efficient, hybrid structural
precast column system with tensioned steel
diagonals.
Splitting the tower plan into two slender lobes and
116
INFORMATION expressing the 13-foot slot in the building silhouette
creates zones for both catching daylight and providing
natural ventilation.
CLIENT Confidential
The project brief requested that all teams work with
artists on their proposals. HOK elected to collaborate
with James Carpenter Design Associates to integrate art
within the architecture. The design designates plazas as
public event spaces rather than just places for sculpture.

KENNEDY

OFFICE
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Two ideas framed the design of Bentall Kennedy’s

Toronto office.
First, this leading commercial real estate firm

expressed a strong interest in creating an active
hub for employees and clients—the kind of
place where one would linger for focused work,
collaboration or social engagement.
To create a less formal and more welcoming

environment, cues from residential architecture
informed the layout, furniture and finishes.
Collectively, the hub, a large café and smaller
decentralized coffee stations facilitate
spontaneous interaction and foster community.
Secondly, inspiration for the material and furniture

palette comes from traditional men’s suit tailoring,
in which the understated quality of a garment is
juxtaposed against the occasional flourish from a
lining or pocket square. The domestically sourced
material palette of steel, oak and glass that
pervades Bentall Kennedy’s space is contrasted
against vibrantly striped phone rooms and
signature furniture pieces.
The team designed the office to meet WELL and

LEED standards. With 30 percent fewer enclosed
offices than in the firm’s previous space, the open
floor plan democratizes access to light and air,
2.
lines the building’s window walls with accessible
corridors and gives prominence to a large, central
stairwell that connects its two floors. All of these
elements help enhance health and wellness.

AMENITIES BUILDING
FOR CONFIDENTIAL
CLIENT
Texas, USA
This amenities building is designed to fit

seamlessly into an existing corporate campus
serving more than 2,000 employees. The new
facility adds to the design vocabulary while clearly
expressing the company’s culture, which has
evolved substantially since the campus was built.
Early in the process, the client and design team

collaborated to define the project drivers that
would guide the design process. Themes included
cohesiveness, modernization, redefinition,
outdoor experience, wayfinding and value.
The new building creates a gateway to welcome

visitors and employees. Located in the middle of
campus, the organic form blends into its natural
environment, helping to unify the surrounding
structures.
At the heart of the complex is a two-story

breezeway that acts as the “town center” and links
three program wings.
The exterior engages with the existing mature

plantings and a new landscaped environment. A
waterfront dining terrace overlooks an adjacent
lake, while outdoor seating areas connect to
nearby fields and gardens. The masonry facade
reinforces a bond to the earth while signifying
craftsmanship.
The interior is connected to the site with a

transparent ground floor that draws in natural light
and blends with the landscape. The second-story
mass accentuates this connection and creates a
datum that links the three functional components.
Surrounding amenities include a soccer field,

tennis court and an outdoor wellness terrace.
“The amenities building celebrates the employees located on this
138
INFORMATION campus. Our goal is to improve the workplace, social interaction
CLIENT Confidential and functionality while creating an inspiring visitor experience
showcasing the innovative work produced here.”

FARMERS
OF AMERICA
HEADQUARTERS
Kansas City, Kansas, USA
The planning process for the new headquarters of

the Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), the country’s
largest milk marketing cooperative, drew input
from more than 75 percent of the organization’s
staff. The result is a modern, healthy, amenity-rich
workplace designed to attract and retain the best
and brightest people.
The design of the three-story building pays tribute

to the dairy farmers that the organization serves
while reflecting the cooperative’s global reach.
The space juxtaposes organic materials, including
concrete, raw steel and reclaimed wood, with
sleek applications of white, subtly reflecting the
milk and dairy products produced.
Located in the emerging Village West growth

corridor of Wyandotte County in Kansas, the
space is a highly flexible workplace that houses
400 employees. The open-plan environment,
which includes informal seating, encourages
employee collaboration and communication.
Meeting rooms and workstations are easily
changed or moved to support future growth,
while sit-stand desks and ergonomic seating
promote wellness.
An efficient steel structural system supports the

flexible open floor plates. Easy access to floor and
underfloor HVAC gives DFA’s staff control over
the environment. The plan orients the building
on the site to enable DFA to easily add a wing or
construct a new building in the future if desired.
Unique employee amenities include outdoor

conference rooms, a full-service café, a visitor
business center and a multipurpose room
that opens to a courtyard and can expand to
accommodate all of DFA’s employees. Fitness and
recreation facilities include basketball and bocce
ball courts, a walking trail and a fire pit.

OFFICE
Los Angeles, California, USA
Dentsu Aegis Network’s new West Coast office

is designed with flexibility to accommodate the
expansion and contraction of the global media
group’s operating companies.
The design and construction team collaborated to

address the challenges, including ceiling height
limitations and the HVAC system, of converting a
parking garage into a modern workplace.
The office features a classic, mid-century modern

design aesthetic. A beaded curtain acts as a space
and visual divider between the reception area and
café/work zone. Composed of natural walnut and
painted beads of varying sizes, the curtain is strung
on a tension cable extending from floor to ceiling in
the double-story space. This curtain motif continues
throughout the space—from the light fixtures to the
accent wallcoverings.
Drawing inspiration from nature, the neutral

material palette is complemented by wood ceiling
baffles, accent walls, pantry millwork and furniture.
The lower floor houses an unassigned work area

with café-style seating including benches, powered
picnic tables and adjacent conference rooms.
The upper floor features traditional workstations,

with breakout furniture accommodating impromptu
meetings. The main pantry opens to a terrace to
host staff meetings and client events. A drop-down
projector screen and audiovisual equipment are
integrated into the space.
162 “The beaded curtain and communicating stair emphasize

POLSINELLI
OFFICES
Dallas, Texas, USA
Denver, Colorado, USA
Polsinelli has partnered with HOK on 24 office

projects in 18 cities over the past six years. These
projects have played an integral role in establishing
the law firm’s workplace design standards and
creating a consistent brand experience across its
U.S. offices. By visually communicating the firm’s
brand and culture, these offices serve as recruiting,
marketing and community engagement tools.
Dallas Office
The design of Polsinelli’s Dallas office fosters

a progressive culture through the creation of a
relaxed, collaborative and hospitality-focused
workplace.
A grand staircase at the center of the lobby offers

views of the city’s skyline and seamlessly connects
the two-level conferencing center. Conference
rooms are pulled back from the windows, creating
a gallery hall that offers more dramatic views of
the city and serves as an event space connected
to a rooftop terrace. A hospitality lounge provides
casual client breakout space with sofas, lounge
chairs, serving bars, a coffee bar and an open café.
Each floor is arranged to maximize efficiency while

offering special features. Designers coordinated
overhead equipment to maximize ceiling heights
and open areas. Vertical wood elements increase
the volumetric feeling of the space, which is
enhanced by natural light flowing through the
expansive glass, high ceilings and office sidelights.
A refined palette of neutral whites and grays

offsets the firm’s collection of colorful artwork, with
yellow used as an accent color to symbolize the
warm Texas sun.
Denver Office
Located on the top four floors of a new downtown

office tower, the design of Polsinelli’s Denver
office features a modern mountain aesthetic that
capitalizes on panoramic views of the Rockies.
As clients and visitors navigate the office, they follow a path

around the stair create a line of security between public
and office spaces during an event while preserving visual
connections and openness.

CASE
OFFICE
The design of leading international law firm

White & Case’s new office encourages
collaboration, mentoring and networking
among attorneys and legal professionals in a
sophisticated, modern workplace.
After interviewing more than 80 White & Case

partners and associates about their workplace
needs, the design team created a highly efficient
plan and contemporary design to communicate
the firm’s culture.
To maximize flexibility and streamline the

workflow, the team created a modular plan and
kit-of-parts design. Two office sizes accommodate
partners and associates, and every workspace
has a sit-to-stand option. Open and closed
collaboration spaces offer scenic Manhattan
views and abundant natural light. A knowledge
center and genius bar supports research, shared
work and education.
Design of the amenity space draws on White

& Case’s brand to enhance the experience for
visitors and employees. A warm, balanced and
natural palette conveys a sophisticated interior
ambience punctuated by dramatic light and
textured materials. The two-story reception space
brings in light and welcomes guests with stone-
and leather-wrapped acoustic walls.
Linking the reception area to a coffee bar is a

dramatic glass and smoked steel stairway. The
“first-class” conference center was designed
with hospitality in mind. Generous multipurpose
and breakout spaces can be transformed for
entertaining and town hall meetings.
The workplace integrates emerging technologies

that support the increasing need for mobility,
group workspaces and virtual collaboration.
Restaurant-style dining, a full-service fitness
facility and a wellness center promote work-life
balance. A robust art program includes pieces
from renowned international artists on display at
key locations throughout the office.
HOK led the design of the amenity floors and

HYL Architecture designed the office practice

mosque’s imam and muezzin.
The curvilinear form creates a sheltered inner

courtyard. Accessed via bridges that cross over
the reflecting pools and portals under the building,
this space integrates the landscape with the
architecture. The entry sequence into the central
plaza allows worshippers to symbolically cross
from the profane to the sacred realm, where they
can access the prayer areas.
Just off the central plaza is the polished,

monolithic form of the daily prayer hall. The main
prayer hall accommodates 1,500 worshippers,
with room for 1,200 men on the ground level and
2. 300 women in the mezzanine above.
Highly controlled use of light is fundamental in

creating a sacred space. The interior of this tall yet
intimate prayer hall receives dappled light from
the building’s base, with reflections of sunlight
emanating from the surrounding reflecting
pools. Natural light enters the space through the
patterned fenestration, creating an interplay of
light and shadow.
As the terminus to the entry road of a planned

residential community, the mosque will become
a new city landmark. Visible from all directions,
it will provide a clear reference point for the new
neighborhood.

NILE
VALLEY
AQUAPONICS
FACILITY
Kansas City, Missouri, USA
This new development will help remedy a Kansas

City food desert and promote urban farming and
sustainable living on the city’s impoverished East
Side.
The project will expand the food production

capacity of Nile Valley Aquaponics, a community
center that offers year-round access to locally
grown vegetables and mercury-free fish. The
organization also provides low-income youth with
opportunities to learn about aquaponics through
lessons, field trips and mentoring.
Aquaponics is a gardening technique in which

fish and plants grow and thrive together. Modeled
after the natural ecosystem, this symbiotic
technique uses 90 percent less water than
traditional methods of growing food crops in
soil. Waste from the fish feeds the plants while
nutrients from the plants filter into the water and
return to the fish tank. This closed-loop system
produces healthy, organic food by avoiding the use
of any chemical fertilizers, pesticides or mercury.
Adding two new greenhouses on the existing

site will double the annual harvest to 50,000
pounds of fish and 70,000 pounds of vegetables.
Designed as a modern kit of parts, the new
greenhouses will be constructed with economical,
sustainable and easily procurable materials to
promote the use of this model in other cities.
The new facility also incorporates a marketplace,
a chicken coop, beehives, rainwater collection
cisterns, a wind turbine and raised garden beds.
Community gathering spaces, including an event
area, harvest tables and a shaded protected
terrace provide neighbors and visitors with
opportunities to relax and learn.
To increase the visibility of Nile Valley Aquaponics

in the community, the design incorporates
high-impact graphics that showcase the
organization’s mission and educate visitors on the
value of creating a community around healthy,
environmentally friendly food. The facility will also
serve as a sustainable economic development
model for similar sites nationwide.

KUWAIT
HEADQUARTERS
Kuwait City, Kuwait
The Central Bank of Kuwait’s new headquarters

building is a symbol of the country’s significant
economic power in the 21st century. Located in
the Sharq commercial and financial district, it is a
new landmark on Kuwait City’s skyline.
The office building is formed by a triangular,

truncated pyramid tower intersected by a
podium that houses reception and banking halls,
conference facilities, dining and banquet rooms,
and a museum.
The building’s geometric forms echo the geometry

and order of Kuwaiti architecture. The two walls
facing the sun are predominantly stone, while the
northern elevation is glass. The stone elevations
face the city, communicating the bank’s solidity
and security. This stone absorbs the heat of the
sun, harnessing it to ward off the chill of desert
nights. Horizontal slots with recessed window
openings minimize solar gain. At night, the all-
glass viewing platform at the top of the building
glows like a lighthouse.
The transparent north-facing wall offers

occupants panoramic views of the Gulf, serving as
a constant reminder of the sea’s important role in
the region’s commerce and trading history.
Visitors enter the building through an expansive

lobby. The wall opposite the reception desk and
adjacent to the escalators features full-height,
backlit onyx pleated panels.
A retail bank branch on the ground floor provides

banking services to staff and the community. On
the second level, a 240-400-seat conference
facility accommodates corporate events and can
be subdivided for smaller gatherings. Overlooking
the Gulf, a 330-person auditorium is cantilevered
beyond the line of the angled eastern elevation.
A two-story juice bar at the opposite end offers
views west toward the city.
The design creates a modern, comfortable work

environment for bank staff.

This center for academic medicine represents an

ambitious effort to provide disparate research
disciplines with a common, collaborative
environment. HOK’s integrated design services
included architecture, landscape architecture,
sustainability consulting, interior design, strategic
planning, structural engineering and MEP
engineering.
The location's mild Mediterranean climate and

an adjacent nature preserve inspired the team to
develop a master plan for the three buildings to act
as an extension of the arboretum experience by
featuring connected outdoor spaces.
The narrow wings envelop a courtyard providing

diverse settings for collaboration near the woods
and in plazas, balconies, walkways, porches and
terraces.
Internally, the workplace promotes interaction

GENERAL AND JURONG
COMMUNITY HOSPITALS
Jurong, Singapore
Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) is

Singapore’s first medical campus with an
outpatient clinic, community hospital and acute
care general hospital. The team designed the
campus as a prototype for the Singapore Ministry
of Health’s effort to provide high-quality, affordable
care to all.
Sustainable design strategies create a facility that

functions like a vertical healing garden and oasis in
the dense city of Singapore.
The sawtooth-inspired plan revolutionizes the

traditional healthcare model by providing every
patient with a window. The team designed the
patient bed towers to optimize access to natural
light to enhance the patient experience. The fluid,
dynamic design directly responds to the position of
the sun and prevailing breezes.
Seventy percent of the facility and 82 percent of

patient beds are primarily passively cooled and
naturally ventilated; only 30 percent of the facility
is air conditioned. Thermal mass, ceiling fans,
cross ventilation and exterior shading ensure that
the temperature remains comfortable throughout
the day, with typical ventilation rates that are
higher than in a standard U.S. patient room.
Operating suites, imaging, isolation rooms and

other critical areas are mechanically ventilated.
Dense vegetation covering low roofs and much of
the site form healing gardens, staff respite areas
and community park space. Vegetation also grows
vertically up the building, both in planter boxes and
along wires linking floors.
Rated Platinum under Singapore’s Green Mark

program, the project also includes solar thermal
hot water heating and a large photovoltaic array.
The team used detailed computational fluid

dynamics models, shading analysis, climate
analysis, daylight modeling and energy modeling to
develop the design to optimize energy efficiency
and the patient experience.
The AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE) honored

The facility, which includes Jurong Community Hospital,
provides seamless integration of care on a single site.
1.84 million sq. ft. / 171,300 sq. m. Close management ensures integration at the hospital’s

Fogo de Chão’s new San Francisco location is a

tenant improvement to an existing ground floor
space of an office tower. The site is located across
from the W Hotel, Moscone Center and the newly
expanded Museum of Modern Art.
The design recreates the Brazilian churrascaria

experience in the heart of San Francisco, where
Fogo de Chão’s service and hospitality stand out
in a busy city center. The design includes indoor
dining, kitchen space (with a section for open-
display cooking) and outdoor dining.
The character of the interior recalls the owner’s

first restaurant in the Brazilian countryside and
fuses rural materials and cooking techniques with
local design inspiration. The entry experience
highlights a statue of O Laçador, a Fogo de Chão
tradition, along with a three-sided fireplace to
create an immediate warm, relaxing ambience that
draws parallels to the culinary experience.
The simple material palette reinforces this

atmosphere with a focus on wood, bronze and
stone. The dining room features a 25-foot rope
wall designed and executed by local artist Windy
Chien. Four private dining areas include working
wine display walls accommodating 1,000 bottles.
A large market table and a view into the churrasco
grill is inspired by the layout of the popular
restaurant’s original location.
An outdoor area is set apart from an active

pedestrian arcade by a 12-foot-high custom metal
screen crafted by a local decorative metal worker
to mimic the hills of San Francisco.
The resulting space invites visitors to experience

the churrasco grilling tradition in a modern,

JACOB K. JAVITS
CONVENTION CENTER
DESIGN COMPETITION
The expansion of the Jacob K. Javits Center

celebrates the design of the original “Crystal
Palace” completed in 1986 while creating a
modern New York City convention and exposition
center experience. This design competition plan
includes a 90,000-square-foot expansion to the
exposition floor with new entry, lobby, atrium
and prefunction spaces. It also adds more than
100,000 square feet of ballroom and meeting
spaces.
Crystalized cube forms along the building’s south

side establish a relationship with the original
Crystal Palace at Javits Center. The facets and
angles of these new, multistory glass cubes
shimmer in the sunlight, creating dynamic shadow
patterns along the facade that change at different
times of the day and year. At night, the crystalized
cubes glow like paper lanterns, inviting visitors to
explore the renovated convention center.
To enhance the user experience and the

operational efficiency of the center, the design
team paid careful attention to transparency and
the volumes of the spaces enclosing the meeting
rooms, ballrooms and back-of-house facilities.
As guests enter the addition and move through
the atrium, they experience breathtaking views
of New York City to the east and south and the
Hudson River to the west. Breakout spaces on
stairway landings offer more opportunities to
experience the dramatic city skyline. At the
highest level of the ballroom, an open-air terrace
provides visitors with city vistas from an entirely
different perspective, under a structural cube.
From the south, the building’s uniform textured

cladding and simplified geometry create an
elegant backdrop to the crystal cubes. On the
north side, the truck-marshalling building is
clad in glass fiber reinforced concrete panels.
Varied openings in these panels enhance natural
ventilation and create a texture that mimics the
glazing and metal panels on the existing structure.
Directly above the truck marshalling structure and
adjacent to the ballroom is a garden terrace that
accommodates special events and that provides
spectacular views of the Hudson River to the west
and Manhattan’s skyline to the east.
HOK and Skanska USA partnered as a design-

build team for this competition.

“The design of the massing and facades for the proposed expansion of the Javits Center was derived from an adaption of the
original Javits curtain wall design. The original Pei Cobb Freed convention center celebrated the latest in glass curtain wall
technology available in 1986―similar to London’s Crystal Palace of 1850. Our proposal adapts the current massing and
facades from the original 1986 structure―three decades later―while reimagining a glass building
using today’s glass technologies. This creates a new dynamic entry and integrates the expansion
with the adjacent Hudson Yards development.”

JUSTICE
CENTER
Nashville, Tennessee, USA
The new Davidson County Metro Criminal Justice

Center in the heart of downtown Nashville
completes a civic campus that includes the city’s
historic City Hall and Courthouse.
Visitors enter the Justice Center through a glass

lobby that emphasizes the open relationship
between the county government and the
community it serves. The building will house
Davidson County Sheriff’s Office staff and up to
1,000 inmates, with a 64-bed mental health wing
to address the emotional and psychological needs
of prisoners.
Because zoning requirements limited the height

of the new Justice Center to five stories, the
design team made the massing longer and
wider to accommodate space requirements. The
form and width align with the taller neighboring
2. buildings, giving it a comparable volume. Similar
colors and building materials on the exterior blend
harmoniously within the historic campus while
providing the new Justice Center a thoroughly
modern composition.
The extended civic plaza outside the building and

a new public garden featuring trees and fountains
emphasize Nashville’s commitment to community
and downtown development. The plaza links the
historic courthouse and City Hall and becomes a
new gathering place for public activities.
Design strategies such as green roofs, stormwater

mitigation and photovoltaic systems demonstrate
the city’s dedication to sustainability. The facility
replaces the existing Justice Center constructed
in 1982.

HOK Product Design approached Kewaunee

Scientific Corporation, a global leader in
laboratory, healthcare and technical furniture
products, with a concept for improving the
workplace in research labs.
Conceived as a series of enhancements to

improve service management, lighting and
collaboration in the lab, the project evolved into
the creation of a cohesive architectural furniture
system.
The system features an oval structural extrusion

that supplies gas, power and network connectivity
throughout labs while isolating wet and dry
services. Work surfaces can be configured in
conjunction with glass shelving and suspended
cabinets. To reduce the number of table legs, the
monolithic extrusion can span two workstation
modules. Each frame can feature a cantilevered
end table for collaboration. The resulting large
technical harvest table, or research pod, optimizes
multidisciplinary research, interaction and
movement around the perimeter.
The product line also includes sit-to-stand heavy

instrument tables, lightweight and reconfigurable
write-up desks, mobile cabinets and a flexible
panel system. LED task lighting is integrated
into shelving supports, and upper beams can be
configured with linear LED modules that provide
indirect adaptive lighting. Services exiting the
ceiling lay directly into the upper beams for
efficient configuration and expansion.
Kewaunee Scientific will introduce the new

product line in 2018 with support from HOK
Product Design. Additional components are in
development.

TOWER
Chicago, Illinois, USA
This design concept for a mixed-use residential

tower introduces a contemporary co-living concept
to the growing Printer’s Row neighborhood south
of downtown Chicago.
Advancing urban living and coworking trends,

the 25-story tower pairs minimal living units with
generous shared amenities to draw residents into
the building’s common spaces. Compact en-suite
bedrooms provide private living space, while
common areas offer a sense of community rarely
found in traditional residential tower models.
The tower’s efficient design is influenced by

the constrained site, parking requirements and
adjacency to elevated train tracks.
A sky lobby embedded within the parking podium

acts as a gateway to the building. It provides a
central public space above the sightline of the
train tracks. By inserting amenities into the garage
podium, common gathering spaces for tenants and
guests can be maximized.
Flexible spaces surrounding the street entrance

can be used for events, pop-up retail stores, street
fairs or food vendors. These activities enhance
the urban experience and attract foot traffic,
maximizing revenue for the building owner.

SUTTON PLACE 305
DESIGN
COMPETITION
Sutton Place is a quiet enclave in Manhattan

located south of the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge
and north of the Midtown East neighborhood. The
highly visible East River site creates a significant
opportunity for 430 East 58th Street to become
an urban expression of Sutton Place on the
Manhattan skyline.
The new development visually anchors the

neighborhood with an elegant tower featuring a
terra-cotta frame, punched openings and a taut
curtain wall. The top of the high-rise culminates
with an oculus facing south to honor the United
Nations Headquarters.
Terra-cotta reinforces the neighborhood palette,

while the four-story frame openings relate to
the scale of adjacent townhouses. As the tower
rises, staggered fenestrations convey a sense of
movement and form a streamlined statement that
creates a dialogue with surrounding buildings.
Crafted as a contextual “townhouse,” the building’s

base includes the resident entrance and amenity
floors. Vertical terra-cotta elements are linked with
bronze channels and limestone to create a double-
height cantilevered entry canopy with a welcoming
street presence. A private rear garden reinforces
Sutton Place’s small park environment.
The conceptual design provides floor plan options

for both a central core and a north side core
without altering the exterior design. The central
core option provides 360-degree views and more
daylight penetration on all four sides. The north
side core offers a more efficient option that allows
for improved layouts and better views to the south.
Representing a new generation of Sutton Place

residents, the timeless design celebrates the
unique scale, charming character and breathtaking
views that draw people to the neighborhood.

BUILDING
FOR CONFIDENTIAL
CLIENT
California, USA
This addition to an existing university building

mediates between past and future, work and
play, and building and site. The iconic structure
completes the overall campus master plan.
The building brings together the arts, science

and rapid prototyping of various scales. The team
conceived the design based on balanced concepts
of gateway, heart and pathways.
Situated along a natural canyon and next to a

future light-rail stop, the center engages the
landscape and connects to the light-rail line,
forming a new eastern gateway to the campus.
Envisioned as a circular hub of activity anchored

in the landscape, the heart of the project sits
opposite a high-bay workspace fronting the street
and future light-rail edge.
Passengers arriving at the station will exit

onto a ramp that proceeds down between the
two anchor points and under the cantilevered
mass. This reinforces the gateway concept and
provides visibility for the different activities taking
place inside. It also begins a series of pathways
connecting to the building and existing campus.
Two levels of the addition float above this space

and act as a wrapper that extends from the
existing building and sweeps around to create a
dramatic overhang at the canyon’s edge.

FRANCIS
CRICK
INSTITUTE
London, UK
The Francis Crick Institute was founded by seven

major leading institutions focused on biomedical
research in the United Kingdom. The partnership
included the Medical Research Council and its
National Institute for Medical Research, Cancer
Research UK, University College London, Imperial
College London, King’s College London and the
Wellcome Trust, a major philanthropic institution
funding medical research. Initially seen as a way
to provide much-needed new research space for
these institutions, it soon became apparent that
the building also would provide an opportunity to
create an innovative model for research.
The Crick departs from traditional research

models. The focus is on attracting the best talent
and then letting these researchers follow their
instincts. There are no departments or specific
research directions and almost no idea is off limits.
There also is no tenure, with researchers allowed
to stay at the Crick for a maximum of 12 years. The
intent is to keep the thinking fresh while providing
a source of talent for other UK institutions and
creating opportunities for collaboration among
institutions. There is only limited protection of
intellectual property. Discoveries are shared
openly with the rest of the world and partnerships
with industry are encouraged.
To promote this innovative approach, the design is

highly flexible and adaptable to meet the ever-
changing needs of existing and new researchers.
It was especially important for every aspect
of the design to encourage the interactions
and collaborations that generate so many
breakthrough ideas. Concepts of visibility and
spontaneous encounters are central to the design.
The building is composed of four blocks separated

by a main east-west atrium and a smaller north-
south transverse atrium. The intersection is an
informal meeting, break and support area. An
adjacent central stair connects all floors. The linear
arrangement of lab neighborhoods optimizes visual
permeability, offering views across the atrium into
the write-up areas and through the primary labs.
The building site is in the heart of central London’s
328
INFORMATION growing scientific community. This location provides easy
rail links to Cambridge, Oxford and the rest of the EU for
connections with other researchers. Its proximity to many
London hospitals offers opportunities for the type of

FOR CONFIDENTIAL
CLIENT
California, USA
The design transformed a 1960s-era office building

into a modern, light-filled research workplace to
advance medical science at one of the world’s
premier universities.
The facility houses high-performance biomedical

research laboratories that accommodate a wide
variety of collaborative research teams. Specialized
spaces include core facilities, shared workspaces
and related infrastructure to support each team.
Skylights welcome daylight deep into two-story

gathering and circulation spaces. Glass walls with
simple, origami-like folds replaced outdated glass
window walls at the north and south ends of the
2. existing building. This floor-to-ceiling glass floats
above a wide-planked boardwalk along the edge
of the outdoor gardens, blurring the lines between
interior and exterior environments.
The design team collaborated with the client

to identify the specific needs of each type of
researcher. This informed the size and configuration
of open and closed labs, infrastructure, support
facilities and collaboration areas.
Parametric design tools enabled the team to

test the long-term flexibility and viability of three
different concepts to find the best solution. The
analysis revealed that approximately 20 percent
of the research space needed to be flexible to
adapt to changing research programs and future
technologies.
This project has enabled the university to

implement, test and refine new standards for
planning interdisciplinary research space.

OF MEDICINE
Tampa, Florida, USA
The Morsani School of Medicine will create a new

downtown Tampa campus for the University of
South Florida and establish the school’s presence
on the city’s skyline. The building will serve as an
anchor for a new 53-acre multiuse development
to create a more walkable and sustainable
environment for downtown residents, workers,
students and visitors.
To attract top-tier students and cardiovascular

researchers, the university challenged the design
team to create a signature, urban facility for its
new medical school and heart institute.
A rigorous design process resulted in the creation

of a prismatic element both in form and effect.
Much like a prism refracts light, the building
form refracts from the ground to the sky to
accommodate and express a diverse mixture of
programmatic elements.
Subtle, faceted gestures make up the facade and

reveal specific moments of public gathering space
such as the main lobby, cafeteria, library and
prefunction areas.
Large, multistory atria were created to internally

weave together the different programs. These
spaces give volumetric relief along the western
and southern edges while enhancing internal
connectivity and providing direct, unobstructed
views to the plaza and surrounding Tampa Bay.
HOK is collaborating with Skanska on the design-

build project.

MAJOR
LEAGUE
SOCCER
STADIUM
St. Louis, Missouri, USA
The design for this proposed Major League Soccer

(MLS) stadium provides the region with a top-tier
venue for sporting, music and cultural events.
The 20,000-seat stadium offers spectacular

views of downtown St. Louis while creating a new
landmark for visitors approaching from the west.
Its open design to the north and east creates
a strong visual connection to the surrounding
district and downtown core while an elegant raised
canopy along the west protects spectators from
the setting sun.
Both the canopy and the tightly enclosed stadium

bowl structure are designed to maximize noise and
excitement during games and events. Upper-level
seating is flexible to accommodate an expansion
to a stadium capacity of 28,500 seats.

The site is adjacent to St. Louis Union Station, a
National Historic Landmark currently undergoing
a renovation, and within one mile of the Gateway
Arch, Busch Stadium, St. Louis Ballpark Village,
Scottrade Center and Peabody Opera House.
The design connects the stadium to this walkable
sports, culture and entertainment corridor, which
is accessible via three MetroLink light-rail stations.
More than 1,400 new stadium parking spaces are
planned to complement existing parking options.
Entry points at all four corners provide visitors

with easy access to the stadium from the
surrounding site. A linear green space to the east
creates a pedestrian area linking the stadium to
the urban landscape and the adjacent Memorial
Plaza. This park was envisioned to encourage
year-round activity on the site and create a venue
to host a variety of festivals and events.

“This project hearkened back to the original sports venues and how they were sited by using the natural topography and folding
the stadium’s natural bowl shape into an existing landscape. Unlike the ancients, however, who found hills and natural forms to
work with, our team discovered that repurposing the site of a highway interchange created the opportunity for a natural bowl.
By fitting the stadium into the local context and removing acres of barriers in the old highway network, we were able to connect
the fabric of the city with this new development. The final move is a gentle tilt to the east, shading the bowl and honoring views
to the Gateway Arch.”

MIAMI
DOLPHINS
HARD ROCK
STADIUM
Miami, Florida, USA
The modernization of Hard Rock Stadium offers

Miami Dolphins fans a world-class experience that
is authentic to South Florida and provides the city
with a venue for marquee events.
HOK collaborated with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins

to develop a comprehensive design solution for
the $500-million modernization of the team’s
existing stadium. To ensure that the Dolphins
would not miss any home games, the extensive
renovations were completed in three phases.
In 2015 every seat in the facility was replaced

and innovative seating products were introduced.
Seating options at a variety of price points now
accommodate all fans, from corporate clients to
families and millennials. Updates to the 100 and
300 level concourses included contemporary food
service offerings and amenities. The renovations
added a Field Club, North Sideline Club and
corner terraces.
Creative new living-room boxes meld the home

viewing and game-day experiences. Each of the
32 boxes include four individual recliners, up to
four programmable high-definition TVs and access
to the 72 Club, a unique indoor lounge.
The design reinforces Miami’s culture and

heritage by incorporating murals by local artists,
comprehensive wayfinding and branding, local
materials and experiential design components.
Each club, suite, social gathering and dining space
provides fans with a splash of South Florida.
In 2016 a new open-air canopy became the
378
INFORMATION stadium’s signature architectural element. The
elegant canopy provides weather protection and
sun shading while still allowing ample sunlight
CLIENT Miami Dolphins to reach the natural grass field. This canopy also
captures and amplifies crowd noise, enhancing
the game-day experience. Other improvements
included 22,400 square feet of new high-
DESIGN PRINCIPAL George Heinlein, AIA
definition video boards, a new audio system and
fiber-optic Wi-Fi.
1.2 million sq. ft. / 111,480 sq. m. Renovations for 2017 included comprehensive
updates to all existing premium spaces on the
200 Club and 200 Mezzanine Suite levels and
annual EUI: 28.5 kBtu/sf/yr distinct new designs for the sideline and end zone
45% below ASHRAE 2007 suites. Club interiors, designed in collaboration
with Rockwell Group, were refreshed to support
the Dolphins’ approach to the fan experience.
