Detailed: An original podcast by ARCAT

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Bob Carbaugh, AIA, Project Architect at Scott Edwards Architecture, LLP in Portland, Oregon. Bob is keenly interested in the integration of story and identity into architecture and interiors. He works frequently in the hospitality sector with restaurant and brewery clients across the nation.Bob shares his insights into working on the Steeplejack Brewery & Taproom located in Hillsboro, Oregon. Built in a vast industrial warehouse space, the 16,500 sf production brewery and taproom faced the challenge of how to architecturally re-interpret their brand identity and humanize the warehouse scale in a meaningful way.You can see the project here as you listen along.The focal point of the building is the brewery itself, on center stage and axially aligned to the front entry doors, so that when you walk in you feel immediately immersed in the brewery. SEA coordinated closely with the system designers to keep things clean and organized so that the tanks stood out. Larger tanks stack behind the smaller ones, and their placement splays outward toward the entry to create a sense of drama and forced perspective. This project had unique challenges and opportunities: re-interpreting the identity of restored a 110+ year old church to an open warehouse,navigating jurisdiction requirements to install an indoor food cart,access to a supply of reclaimed wood, and much more!If you enjoy this episode, visit arcat.com/podcast for more.

Angie Brooks is co-principal and a leader in the field of environmental and social-equity design. Larry Scarpa, co-principal, has garnered international acclaim for the creative use of conventional materials in unique and unexpected ways.Angie and Larry share insights into their work on the 2022 AIA Gold Medal winning project, The SIX, an affordable housing project in Los Angeles California. The 52-unit building provides a home, support services and rehabilitation for previously homeless and/or disabled veterans.You can see the project here as you listen along.Offering shelter and comfort, The SIX breaks the prescriptive mold of the traditional shelter by creating public and private "zones" in which private space is deemphasized, in favor of large public areas. Surrounded by four levels of housing units with balconies wrapped with a wood screen made from recycled planking, a courtyard located on the second level has large openings with green roofs that visually connect the space to the street on the lower level beyond. This allows the tenants to enjoy a secured open space while still connecting to the larger community. This project had unique challenges and opportunities: challenging jurisdictional processes,stringent code and policy requirements,valuable client and resident input that better informed a thoughtful design, and much more!If you enjoy this episode, visit arcat.com/podcast for more.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by William Mandara Jr., AIA, CEO and Co-Owner at Mancini Duffy, a national full-service design firm with a 100+-year-old history and tech-forward approach. Bill heads the New York architecture studio of Mancini Duffy, where he spends his time leading much of their efforts in new building design and the adaptive reuse of existing buildings. Bill shares his lessons learned from working on 125 West 25th Street, an adaptive reuse project where Mancini Duffy repurposed an industrial warehouse building into a modernized, multi-use, Class A office building for tenants with forward-thinking businesses. The 140,000 square foot building was modernized across all 12 floors.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Christine Williamson, founder of the Instagram account @BuildingScienceFightClub, an educational project that teaches architects about building science and construction. She has spent her career in building science forensics, discovering why buildings fail, and working with owners, architects, and builders to remedy the problems. Christine shares her insight into the restoration of Belvedere Castle in Central Park, highlighting her task to answer the question: Could water sufficiently be kept out of the building? Belvedere Castle is a folly, or ornamental building, in Central Park in Manhattan, New York City. Constructed out of Manhattan schist, the building was designed as a focal point in the landscape, only intended to be a place from which to enjoy views of the surrounding landscape. It has since been converted to house exhibit rooms, an observation deck, and previously Central Park’s official weather station. This restoration project presented unique challenges and opportunities - finding a balance between introducing advanced water management systems and historic preservation, managing moisture in a 150 year stone masonry building, and a unique situation where improved air quality during the Covid-19 lockdowns led to algae growth on damp surfaces.Check out more details at ARCAT.If you enjoy this show, you can find similar content at Gābl Media.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Ramin Rezvani, Senior associate at Ankrom Moisan Architects.

As the 2019 winner of the CRE Transformer Award, the 230,650 sq. ft., 10-story, office building is considered one of the most transformative commercial real estate projects of the year by the Portland Business Journal. The straightforward design embodies the composition of Yamhill Historic District at a human scale—revitalizing the pedestrian experience at a key transitional block. To recall the material scale and texture of the district’s masonry buildings, the post-tension concrete building is skinned in a unitized terra cotta, custom kynar finished metal plate, and glass curtain wall. Rooted in place, the project is designed to promote access to air, light, and wellness.Del Stephens, President and CEO of Dura industries, an approved applicator of high-performance thermally cured organic architectural coatings (PVDF) and certified applicator for PACCAR truck parts, shares his perspective on working through the custom kynar finish on the building and how his company works with designers to customize the perfect coating solution.This project presented unique challenges and opportunities - an offset building core provided maximum flexibility but added structural challenges, a unitized curtain wall with integral terracotta and custom kynar paint finish, and the signing of a long term tenant deep into design that led to major structural changes.Check out more details at ARCAT.If you enjoy this show, you can find similar content at Gābl Media.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Sarah Gray, P.Eng., Principal and Building Science Specialist, RDH Building Science Inc. Sarah is a self-proclaimed building science nerd, having worked on the design of new buildings and repairs to existing buildings for over 20 years. She shares her experience retrofitting Social housing apartment towers in Toronto, Ontario. These apartment towers, built in the 1960s, are mid to high rise towers, made of a concrete block structure with brick cladding. Retrofitting this typology presented unique challenges and opportunities - complexities in management have led to the buildings receiving no maintenance or upgrades in 20 years or more, typical government processes seek lowest bids from contractors who may not have experience working with existing buildings, and outdated standards of construction techniques and building codes make retrofitting more complex.Check out more details at ARCAT.If you enjoy this show, you can find similar content at Gābl Media.
