AMP Lofts

The AMP Lofts project is a seven-story project consisting of

320 live/work units above 20,000 SF of ground-fl oor retail

in the heart of downtown Los Angeles’ Arts District. Catering

to the sophisticated artist community of the area, the dog-

friendly complex includes a large commercial courtyard with

outdoor seating, as well as upscale amenities such as a gym,

pool, sauna, a Clubhouse, and Workshop. There are also two

below-grade levels of parking for approximately 420 parking

spaces. The 5,000 SF Clubhouse, a hub for residents to co-

work and co-mingle, will incorporate a lobby, business center,

and leasing offi ce. The 5,000 SF Workshop, an industrial space

for creation and fabrication, can be rented out by residents,

whether to tune a bicycle or weld a DIY project.


Building upon the culturally layered area, the project

incorporates pieces of the site’s history such as the signage

from the original tenant, Amp Automotive, after which the

project is named. Original brickwork will be reclaimed and

used throughout. A bowstring truss from the demolished

structure will be re-imagined to form the roof of the

Clubhouse. The live/work units, ranging from studios to three-

bedrooms, have an industrial palette with exposed ducts and

polished concrete fl oors for a factory-like look and feel.

Westgate Apartments

This 5-building complex is part of a 3-square-block urban

village that includes a mixture of townhomes, fl ats, and luxury

apartments with a small retail component. The project is

located in a formerly industrial neighborhood in the heart

of Old Pasadena, near Colorado Street and the Del Mar light

rail station. The area is experiencing a revitalization with a

resurgence of multi-family housing and community amenities.

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA

The City of Pasadena’s strict design requirements and review

process demanded that the project embrace the urban scale

and pedestrian nature of the area. The building massing,

window and exterior materials articulation respect the

project’s context as well as establish a unique identity for

each of the fi ve buildings. The car is parked underground and

priority is given to the pedestrian through the close proximity

to a light rail station and intricate network of paseos and

sidewalks connecting the community to Old Town and the rest

of the Westgate complex.

The Pierce


This new 230-unit residential development sits at the edge of

downtown San Jose and an existing residential area. Wrapping

around a corner, the building fronts three streets. Live/work

studios, fi tness center, Wi-Fi cafe, and gallery are located

along the commercial street and activate that facade. One-

and two bedroom units are located along the two residential

streets. The development is seven stories at its highest

point, and drops back to the equivalent of two stories in the

back, preserving light and reducing height for the neighbors.

Parking for cars, motorbikes, and bicycles is provided

underground. The enclosed outdoor plaza includes a pool and

spa, water features, seating areas, and a barbecue.

The San Francisco Design Guidelines established different

design character for the various streets around Venue at

Mission Bay. The main/ front façade on Fourth Street faces

that major arterial with predominantly six stories, stepping

down to fi ve stories, with a glazed ground level retail frontage

that steps in and out creating an interesting community

experience. Mission Rock Street and the Vara are envisioned

as neighborhood streets with a residential scale, including

residential units up about half a level on the Vara with entry by

individual stoops that ascend to their front door entry terrace

to enhance the sense of community.

Venue at Mission Bay

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

The design for Venue at Mission Bay, completed with

Seidel Architects, consists of 147 apartments in a six story

courtyard building. The project base podium structure

includes approximately 9000 SF of retail space, the main

building entry lobby with leasing space, and accommodates

147 resident parking spaces in the basement and ground

level garage. The residential program above this podium

consists of a variety of unit types, including junior one

bedroom, one bedroom units, two bedroom units, as well as

some multi-level townhouse units.

Domain Mountain View

A new mixed-use project with 160 residences and 4,400

square feet of neighborhood-serving retail. Facing El Camino

Real, the development has two stories of residential over

retail, and all residential along Latham Street. A pedestrian

mews links the two streets. This mixed-use project will be a

catalyst for the Grand Boulevard Initiative, bringing places for

residents to live, work, shop and play along El Camino Real.

The development will create 160 residences and add

approximately 4,400 square feet of neighborhood-

serving retail/residential activity space to Mountain View.

Conceptually, the building massing is broken into distinct

volumes creating a varied street presence. At El Camino Real,

the building has two stories of residential over a double-

height retail space.

Shanghai OCT Block 13Mixed-Use Development

SHANGHAI, CHINA

This project site presents a unique challenge of linking two sites of varying scale,

use and context. The project includes both small and medium scale multi-family

housing on a site with existing residential units and a large-scale research and

development park planned for the adjacent site.

Borrowing from the existing residential development found on the same block,

designers developed the overall planning strategy, grid, and orientation. Within this

organization, the building volumes transition from medium scale to larger scale to

match the adjacent context. The program is similarly displaced with the residential

buildings oriented towards the adjacent residential context and the larger

programs, including the club/fi tness and hotel, facing the future research and

Classic Residence by Hyatt

PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA

Totaling nearly 1 million SF on prime real estate next to

Stanford University, the Classic Residence by Hyatt capitalizes

on the adjacent cultural and medical services, and offers

seniors a unique aging-in-place option. The project designed by

Steinberg provides 259 independent living units, 70 assisted

living units and a 59-bed skilled nursing facility in three distinct,

yet unifi ed buildings. A total of four private outdoor courtyards

provide safe walking paths where assisted living and skilled

nursing residents can proceed at their own pace. The corridors

were designed to become an extension of the outdoor space by

providing a continuation of walking paths for the residents to

exercise during inclement weather.

All architectural elements on site are tied together through an

organic palette of colors, materials and styling. Highlights of

the facility include a 60,000 SF common era with formal and

informal dining, an indoor-outdoor café (three restaurants in

total), full business center, library, theatre, fi tness and aquatic

center, general store and day spa. The project aligns with a

growing trend among senior communities placed in close

proximity to universities, hospitals, and in this case, a high-end

shopping mall.

YANGCHEN LAKE ISLANDSUZHOU, CHINA

The Yangcheng Lake Island resort will be the

fl agship senior living community for China Life,

exemplifying their commitment to healthy living

for their residents. Seniors can join a community

built on the principles of healthy living—complete

with clean air, fresh water, parks and shoreline, and

a host of services and amenities tailored to their

physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Visitors

and guests seeking retreat from the city can enjoy

the resort-like atmosphere, charming outdoor

setting, and warm and welcoming hospitality of

residents who are proud of their beautiful home.

The overall master plan outlines three development

phases that combine multiple land parcels into a

cohesive resort-style residential community. The

parcels are divided by two main public roadways.

A public park is required at the west point of the

peninsula to preserve the shoreline and open

space, and to ensure long-term public access to

open space and waterfront. In addition to providing

effective circulation and connection within the

community, the master plan framework also

establishes highly effi cient, functional and intuitive

to optimize its offi ce in response to trends in corporate

workplace design. The new space maximizes spontaneous

interactions and collaborative opportunities while increasing

effi ciency and general staff comfort.

To promote a sense of teamwork and collaboration, the entire

staff—including management and corporate accounting—is

seated in the open work space, organized by work groups and

around centralized amenities. To accommodate a variety of

work modes, other spaces range from large meeting areas for

collaborative engagement to small, private “phone booths” for

more private conversations. Shared amenities include an eat-

in kitchen for socializing and breaks, the “Idea Room” where

every vertical surface is writeable, and the high-tech “Media


Scape,” an open presentation area for in-person screen-

sharing to facilitate real-time collaboration.

Sustainability and staff wellbeing were key design drivers.

Shanghai OCT Block 4 Mixed-Use Development

This new development contains a mix of commercial offi ce

space and residential units. The site is bordered by two water

canals and a large landscaped berm and these unique edges

are refl ected in the project’s specifi c massing profi les. Along

the water’s edge, the project’s front, the massing is lowest and

least dense and becomes higher and denser along the back,

landscaped berm. Spacious public, pedestrian-oriented space

is created at the ground level of each building and an open,

landscaped square sits in the middle of the four buildings.

The master plan approach, creating an appearance of

randomness within a highly structured order, translates to a

variety of open spaces and building heights while creating a

consistent scale and mass across the entire block.

remodeled into an 86-room, four-star hotel. The

renovation, completed in partnership with Joie

de Vivre, included voluntary seismic upgrades, an

exterior skin renovation, conversion of the fi rst

fl oor into a lobby and 24-hour restaurant with back-

of-house functions, and the addition of eight guest

rooms on the eighth fl oor where current dining

facilities exist.

The conversion into a boutique hotel follows a

thorough ideation phase orchestrated by design

fi rm IDEO, where the aesthetic character of the

hotel’s interior were carefully considered. The

new hotel aims to capture the spirit of Palo Alto --

curious, optimistic, entrepreneurial, tapped

in and vital -- while its aesthetic vision embodies

the region’s commitment to sustainability by

pursuing LEED certifi cation and using raw, rustic

and natural materials.

Selma Hotel

Selma Hotel is a 200 key boutique hotel project at the

intersection of Wilcox Avenue and Selma Avenue in Hollywood.

The project sits in a location with vast potential as it bridges

the gap between two major cores of Hollywood, one anchored

by the Cinerama Dome and the other, 5 blocks down, by the W

Hotel Hollywood.

This quickly-transforming neighborhood has fi ve hotels under

development within three blocks. This project is an expansion

of an existing hotel, which inhabits a rehabbed building next

door to the site.


The new building will connect with the existing adaptive reuse

boutique hotel at the ground level, with opportunities to

enlarge the existing restaurant and lobby, spilling into the new

structure and connected by paseos and a courtyard.

Tommie Hotel

Steinberg is currently designing the Tommie hotel in

collaboration with Rockwell Group, focusing on the Core and

Shell. The high-end boutique hotel, by Commune Hotels &

Resorts, is part of a hospitality trend to cater to the “micro-

lifestyle” of its peripatetic user, focusing on streamlined and

better product in urban environments. There is a synergy

between the Tommie Hotel brand ethos and the cultural

fabric of the location – one of Los Angeles’ most walkable

neighborhoods. In the heart of Hollywood, the site is on

Cahuenga Boulevard just south of amenity-fi lled Sunset

Boulevard.

Westin Gal ler ia Dal las

For many years, The Westin at Galleria Dallas has been a

popular destination for business travelers as well as leisure

travelers who are drawn to the recently renovated Galleria

Dallas shopping mall. After a new owner purchased the hotel

in May 2005, the decision was made to fully renovate and

remodel the property, even though it already enjoyed a high

occupancy rate. In order to minimize disruptions to guests

and mall users, the project was phased over several months,

beginning with the guest rooms.

To reposition the hotel at the top of the Dallas hospitality

market, the newly renovated guestrooms have been

transformed into spacious junior suites, providing ample

space for breakout meetings for business travelers.

DALLAS, TEXAS

Underutilized decorative balconies were replaced by

an armoire and a window seat that offers views of the

surrounding Dallas skyline. High-performance glazing

increases energy effi ciency and reduces traffi c noise, while

also addressing security and maintenance concerns.

Newly expanded conference space, catering and event space,

and a spa are designed to host business meetings and social

events. A new bar and restaurant is attracting customers from

among the 10,000 people who work in the adjacent offi ce

towers.

Chengdu OCT Area “D” Clubhouse Inter iors

Steinberg designed the Chengdu OCT Master Plan, which

included a 90,000 SF clubhouse at the center. The clubhouse

was designed in a North American vernacular to resemble a

Craftsman lodge, communicating a sense of luxury and comfort

to visitors. Nestled in the hillside landscape, the clubhouse ties

together the terraced land and the fl owing waterway.

The interior spaces are similar to those of a 5-star hotel with

public amenities that include indoor outdoor swimming, a

spa, fi tness areas, meeting rooms, and destination Chinese

and American restaurants. The clubhouse includes a

negotiation lounge which functions as an elegant leasing

offi ce, featuring a large-scale model of the master plan,

small scale models of the unit types, and a theater with

multimedia presentations about the Chengdu area – all to

communicate a luxurious lifestyle to potential home buyers.

CHENGDU, CHINA

After the residences are sold, the lounge will be converted to a

hospitality oriented space.

The interior spaces are deliberately overscaled to provide

ample circulation and a calm atmosphere. Large beams

evoke the Craftsman vernacular, and gracious terraces

overlook the expanse of river and lush landscape beyond. The

tower is the focal point of this modern day lodge, creating

an icon for the community as well as a place where potential

buyers can view the community.

Tianj in OCT Clubhouse Inter iors

This project was part of a mixed-use residential and commercial

development in Tianjin’s Dongli Lake district encompassing

275 hectares of land with a total building area of 1.2 million

square meters.. Construction of the central clubhouse was

completed early in 2012. The clubhouse interiors are designed

in a northern European style, with sharp pitched gabled roofs

and brick throughout. The interior design includes beautiful

interplays of geometry in the vaulted spaces and crisscrossing

beams, reminiscent of an abstracted Gothic church.

When visitors walk into the lobby through the main entry,

their fi rst impression is an expansive view of the large lake

directly adjacent to the clubhouse. Above the lobby is the

main dining area, restaurant, meeting rooms, fi tness center,

TIANJIN, CHINA

and a swimming pool bordered by a large, vaulted glass wall,

providing another viewpoint onto the lake. The clubhouse

also includes a negotiation lounge and wine and cigar bar for

potential homebuyers to meet with residential community staff.

A major centerpiece of the building is the massive stone

Cal i fornia State University, Ful lerton Titan Student Union Expansion & Renovat ion

The Titan Student Union (TSU) is a mainstay of the CSU

Fullerton campus. Located at the intersection of three

major circulation corridors, most students—commuter or

residential—pass by or through the building daily. At 38-years-

old, TSU was in need of a renovation, systems upgrade and

expansion to accommodate a quickly growing student body.

The new 25,000 SF addition creates a “front door” experience

for students and visitors. The soaring triple-height atrium,

which includes expansion below-grade, embodies a sense

of “One Complete Space,” integrating the variety of program

spaces housed at TSU. Organized into zones, each fl oor can

be characterized as “Social,” “Active,” or “Collaborative,”

with program elements to match. Transparency, openness

FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA

and fl uidity in the building design not only helps visitors

quickly understand what TSU has to offer, but establishes

and reinforces a connection with daylight, nature and the

outdoors—just a few of the sustainable features of the project.

The project also includes a renovation of the second

fl oor. Originally a series of closed offi ces, the new design

incorporates more open, highly collaborative spaces for

student team work and staff integration. New updated open-

plan work spaces are provided for staff and faculty, as well as

shared amenities such as conference rooms, break rooms and

a meditation studio.

community-accessible spaces for meetings. This state-of-the-art facility

consolidates campus resources, but also supports the learning process by

providing increased computer access for both students and staff.

Working with College leadership, administrative staff, and building user

groups, the project team completed program verifi cation. The new facility

is located at the west edge of campus, a site which was chosen for its

prominence at the entry of the College and its potential to connect the

institution with the Huntington Beach community. Orientation and layout

of programmatic elements facilitates views to an adjacent California native

garden and interaction with a primary pedestrian pathway that links students

to the center of campus. Interior organization focuses on the juxtaposition of

zones of quiet, contemplative spaces with collaborative and social areas.

University of Cal i fornia, Los Angeles Hitch Student Residences

The recently renovated Hitch Student Residences, located

on the northwest edge of campus, is a complex of four

three-story residential buildings organized around a series

of courtyards and a new commons building with shared

amenities and meeting spaces. The renovation project was

conceived to address accessibility and life-safety defi ciencies,

including seismic strengthening of the existing structures and

inclusion of fi re protection systems. The project also provided

the opportunity to update the exterior image and energy

performance of the buildings by providing a new “skin” as well

as updating the interior spaces with new fi nishes. The existing

outdated commons building was replaced with a new building

that provides support functions for the Hitch community

including study areas, offi ces, laundry facilities, vending, and a

multipurpose space that includes a display kitchen.


The project site was reimagined by utilizing sloped walkways

combined with new landscaping to mitigate the existing

hillside topography that connect a series of courtyards and

outdoor areas. Improvements to the site and recreation

facilities help to bolster the sense of community for the

residents.

Today, the complex has been transformed into a memorable

and socially vibrant environment for future generations of

students. Each suite has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a

living room. In addition to the renovation, new courtyard and

recreation spaces were developed, along with a new commons

building that houses a community kitchen and multipurpose

rooms. The new design capitalizes on views to the neighboring

mountains and ocean, creating a unique student environment

and a haven from the remainder of the urban campus.

The Public Safety & Allied Health Building is a 46,937 SF

facility that houses the Emergency Medical Services/

Paramedic program, Fire Academy, and the Respiratory

Therapy program. The Stanley Krasovec Simulation

Center, inside PSAH, houses automated artifi cial patients

(mannequins) who can breathe, talk, exhibit symptoms, and

even give birth. Instructors program the mannequins with

symptoms the students can expect to encounter in their

careers, and students use hands-on practice to learn how to

care for the patient. There is also a drill yard and spray wall

outside of the fi re engine garage for Fire Academy drills.

In keeping with the architectural palette of the existing

campus and the recently completed LRC, the new building is

primarily pre-cast concrete with aluminum plate metal panel.

Ample amounts of glazing throughout the building allow

daylighting of classroom spaces and reinforce the connection

YUCAIPA, CALIFORNIA

to the outside landscape. While the glazing successfully

creates a sunlit, open, and welcoming environment, the

design team was careful to include selective obscuring of

the glass in areas of high traffi c or high visibility in order to

maintain a focused atmosphere inside the classrooms. The

direct effects of the sun and the solar heat gain along the

southern and western facades were also carefully considered

and addressed through the incorporation of vertical fi ns and

horizontal projections where appropriate.

A large roof terrace outside of the lecture halls serves as a

formal gathering spot for students, with views of the campus

and the surrounding mountains. The fi rst level courtyards also

create space for a physical connection to the campus context

and provide a quiet zone for study and refl ection, amongst

views of the desert landscape.
