3033 Wilshire Boulevard

Sited on Los Angeles’s historic Wilshire Boulevard, this

contemporary high-rise will add 190 new residential

units to the area between LA’s Koreatown and Westlake

neighborhoods. The apartments range from studios to

2BD/2BA luxury penthouse spaces—all atop 5,500 SF of

ground-level retail and amenities and four levels of above-

grade parking.

The design employs glass as the primary skin element. The

protruding decks change size as they move up the building,

creating a fl uid appearance across the facade. The pool deck

and primary resident amenities will be located on the roof

with 360° views to downtown LA, the Hollywood Hills, and the

Pacifi c Ocean.

Parkside Hal l

Steinberg, working with Insight Realty Co., has been selected

to develop a prime downtown San Jose spot 180 Park Ave.,

better known as Parkside Hall. The City of San Jose chose the

team’s mixed-use tower proposal that combines residential,

offi ce, a hotel, and new expansion space for the Tech Museum

of Innovation.

Punctuated by landscaped outdoor terrace steps wrapped

in an undulating glass skin, the iconic, new 270-foot tower —

dubbed Museum Place — would include 60,000 SF of expansion

space for the Tech Museum on the ground fl oor; 210,000 SF of

“creative offi ce” on fi ve stories above the Tech space; Twelve

stories of condos; Three stories at the top for a boutique hotel,

with luxury penthouse residences on the highest fl oor.

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-

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.

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.

Suzhou Creek North Bank Tower

SHANGHAI, CHINA

In Shanghai, the Suzhou River is a signifi cant tributary within the inner ring road

that defi nes the North-South Center of the city. The North Center of Suzhou River

(Blocks 41 and 42) is recognized for its historical signifi cance.

Responding to the challenge of adding life and energy to this site fi lled with historic

but under-utilized warehouses and manufacturing facilities, the design provides

for a new and improved urban environment that reactivates the waterfront and

connects the community to a new subway stop, internal parks, performance hall,

urban plaza, and central park which defi nes redevelopment of a larger district.

Weaving the new development, consisting of SOHO offi ce buildings and other

cultural, boutique retail amenities, with historic structures to redefi ne a traditional

community was the underlying principle behind this reinvigorating design.

Changsha Songya Lake Commercial & Residential

CHANGSHA, CHINA

The development encompasses 7,000 acres, about 3 square miles, along the

eastern waterfront of Songya Lake. The area will also incorporate an internal

body of water referred to by the competition committee as ‘High Lake’, which

the design team re-interpreted as a network of ‘fi nger lakes’ integrating water

and land throughout the site. The total building area will be 80 million SF,

including a waterfront eco-business district (EBD) with hotel, conference, dining

and entertainment, and an ecological model community mixing residences

community services and public open space.

This new landmark community in Hunan Province will gracefully integrate many

public and private spaces in harmony with the local landscape. While the detailed

planning has not yet started, local press coverage indicates that the community

and government are eager to realize vision of Changsha Songya Lake as an

ecological, vibrant and livable community of international distinction.

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

development site.

businesses distributed in 7 towers ranging in height from 100M - 150M. The towers are linked at the base with common

amenities and an exhibition/ conference center. Retail shopping and restaurants at grade will serve businesses as well

as nearby residents and visitors. The complex is located one block from a new subway station, making it convenient for

employees and attractive to business owners competing for the most talented creative minds.

The Tianjin Mingzhong Development aims to revitalize an

underutilized 11-city block area currently occupied by

outdated automobile-related services. This new mixed-

use development proposes similar uses dedicated to the

automobile, in addition to high-rise residential, retail, offi ce,

entertainment, recreational and hospitality functions. A large

central green park gradually lifts up in the middle of the site,

extending over building roofs to create a natural open space

with various recreational amenities. To the west of the site, an

indoor/outdoor movie theater, retail, restaurants, and hotel

activate the streetscape and invite pedestrians to gather

along the lively storefronts and plazas. To the north, facing the

central green, lies a high-rise residential district and to the

east, further residential towers surround a lake.

In an effort to offset the known negative consequences to

having a “car culture”: air and noise pollution, congestion,

and the demise of coherent urban centers; the design of

the site is based on sustainable principles and methods

of mitigation. In addition to reusing displaced earth to

reduce urban heat-island effects and storm-water runoff, the

Green Park provides a living laboratory and testing ground

for future technologies that can help reduce air pollution,

and produce fuel that may one day power our cars and

buildings. Through the use of nanowire trees, it produces the

hydrogen used in hydrogen fuel cell cars, with water as its

only byproduct. Algae devices onsite that extract CO2 and

then produce oxygen and bio-fuel, can also purify the air.

The Green Park will stand out as a case study in ecological

stewardship and promotion of quality of life.

The Epiphany Hotel

PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA

Casa Olga, originally permitted as a hotel in 1971,

has been renamed The Epiphany and has been

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

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

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

fi replace that spans two fl oors – it opens into the swimming

pool on the second fl oor and serves as a main focal point in

the restaurant and dining room on the ground fl oor.

Chengdu ZhengxingClubhouse & Model Home

CHENGDU, CHINA

Steinberg designed the overall Chengdu Zhengxing Master

Plan prior to the client adding the clubhouse to the program.

Having already utilized all of the available space for other

buildings, the design team decided to dig the new clubhouse

into a hill at one end of a greenbelt that runs through the

master plan, connecting villas/low rises to the high rise

residential district. A green bridge connects the greenbelt to

the roof of the clubhouse, overlooking the adjacent river.

The central idea to the design of the clubhouse is “back to

nature”. The design team wanted to celebrate the incredibly

beautiful surroundings and wanted to create a site-specifi c

building that would respect the unique landscape. The

indigenous material palette is all derived from Chengdu,

including locally sourced bamboo, granite, and sandstone.

The main entry to the building is partially covered, with one

side opening to a water feature and the other dug directly

into the earth, all beneath a ceiling composed in resin rods,

evocative of walking under bamboo forest. This transition from

outside to inside is carried seamlessly throughout the rest

of the building with indoor outdoor swimming pools, fi tness

areas that hug the edge of the clubhouse and open out to the

river, and glass-topped pools that become a skylight on the

basement level.

The Steinberg team included several sustainable features in the

building design: large overhangs to provide shade in the summer

and admit light in the winter; darkstone fl ooring that functions as

a heat sink; the green roof; locally sourced materials; and copious

skylights to provide natural daylighting and ventilation.

San Jose Civ ic Center

Steinberg in association with design architect Richard Meier

& Partners, led the program development phase and served

as the primary point of contact with City leadership. The San

Jose’s 550,000 SF City Hall is the most prominent and visible

new building commissioned by the City in recent memory.

This 18-story office tower has already become a symbol of

this growing international city and hosts visitors, investors,

and businesses from around the world. It is anchored by a

pedestrian friendly plaza that is activated by the presence of

public art and hosts large social gatherings. In addition to its

important civic and public functions, the building has revitalized

a dilapidated section of downtown and become a catalyst for

social and economic activities. With the recent achievement of

a LEED Platinum rating, the San Jose Civic Center is projected

to remain a civic icon for generations to come.

Stanford University Highland Hal l

STANFORD, CALIFORNIA

Stanford Graduate School of Business hired the team of Steinberg and Legorreta

+ Legorreta to program and design approximately 100 new 2-bedroom-shared

units. The Highland Hall site is situated next to existing Schwab Residential

Center, which was also designed by the team of Steinberg and Legorreta +

Legorreta, built fifteen years ago. When Schwab was conceived, the Knight

Management Center did not exist and the Graduate School of Business was in

a different location. The Knight Management Center has since been completed,

and the Graduate School of Business relocated into the expanded facilities in

2011. Given the current context, the concept for Highland Hall will incorporate

the vocabulary of the existing Schwab Residential Center with the synergy of the

academic and vibrant social programs at Knight/GSB, in support of the students

in the MBA, PhD, Global Initiatives, Sloan and Executive Education programs.

As such, it is envisioned to be a 4-story courtyard scheme of about 150,000 SF,

which is currently in design. A series of interconnected courtyards within the

building footprint and arrival spaces will link Schwab to Highland Hall.
