The heart of the project is a vibrant stretch of retail,
dining and entertainment connected directly to the NHL

art multipurpose arena. Thirty minutes from downtown
Phoenix and directly adjacent to the planned build site

stadium, Westgate is ideally situated at the heart of
Arizona’s new sports and entertainment mecca.

gilded moldings, rich woodwork, wall sconces, ornate
chandeliers, filigreed ceiling ornamentation and coffered
ceilings with theatrical lighting. Decorative accents

Zona Rosa, a town center project, weaves authentic
regional and historical elements into a contemporary
urban fabric of Kansas City’s Northland Market area. It
features specialty retail, a gourmet market, restaurants,
entertainment, office, hotel and residential uses along
pedestrian avenues and public plazas.
Two unifying elements flow through the site. The first,
Rush Creek waterway, integrates into a greenway system
tying the project’s components together. Emulating a
bend of the Missouri River, Prairie View Road, the main
access-drive though Zona Rosa, reflects a geographical
impetus for the founding of a 19th Century colonial
settlement. Maintaining the frontier theme, buildings
were designed with renovated warehouse styling,
contain street-level retail and restaurants, along with
loft apartments and entertainment options. A split-
boulevard main street heads uptown, animated by varied
building styles suggesting development over time. A
town square is lined with building archetypes – town hall,
library and bank – adapted to multiple retail, restaurant,
and office presences.

The 12-story Laureate Building in Baltimore’s chic new
Harbor East district bridges the gap between the
neighborhood’s mixed-use vitality and the utility and
convenience of a more traditional office facility–and
it does so without sacrificing the subtle architectural
detailing and inspired industrial design aesthetic that
characterizes the waterfront neighborhood. With nearly
200,000 square feet of Class A office space, including
large 33,000-square-foot floor plates that are an unusual
asset in an urban office setting, the Laureate creates a
suburban office environment in an urban context.

An award-winning antidote to suburban sprawl and a genre-defining

theme that integrates shopping with entertainment, recreation,
office, residential and hospitality components. Easton adapts tenets
of New Urbanism design in ways that reflect its setting near the city
of Columbus. Designers used storyboards to plan Easton, adapting
vernacular themes of Midwestern American towns in the first half of
the 20th century to contemporary uses.

At Rockville Town Square, new signage, graphics and
architectural parking garage enhancements are part of a
bold facelift to draw attention from an adjacent road and
increase wayfinding effectiveness for customers while
highlighting project tenants. The contemporary signage
system reflects the energy and vibrant atmosphere of the
town center. The garage wayfinding program focuses on
visually identifying the elevator cores and stairwells while
reinforcing to patrons which specifi c garage they are
parked. The enhancements include LED illuminated light
boxes that wrap the corners with garage identifications;
vinyl graphics on windows and elevator doors that
denote the specific levels; new exterior grade carpeting;
as well as features suspended from the ceiling. The
design theme extends to smaller parking rate panels and
general garage information plaques to create a unified
program that allows for a warm, memorable greeting to
shoppers while emphasizing these areas of circulation.
