Larry Slonim, Architect, Associate Architect of the OCAC, CDG PLANServices Project Planner/Architect

As a partner in my own Architectural firm back in the early 1980’s, dealing with recessionary times, I decided to look for and initiate our own development project (as opposed to competing with others for the limited projects still available in the marketplace). I came across a vacant, 160,000 square foot retail commercial building on 15 acres that had been listed on the market for over 3 years. This was surprising, because the site was at the intersection of a major boulevard and freeway interchange. In speaking with the broker, he indicated that it had been in and out of escrow over the years, and while there was some current interest in it, there was nothing immediate. Explaining to him what I was trying to do, he volunteered to meet me on the premises, and give me a tour of the building. He also provided me with a copy of the construction documents for me to make my own copy of. In researching the local market area, it became readily apparent to me that it was dramatically under-served in terms of movie theater screens. At that time, only 4 and 6-plex facilities were being built – though there was one 14-plex that had been built in a regional mall an hour north of this site. I visited this installation, noting the size and seat count of the auditoriums (which were generally quite small, in the 50 to 150 seat range).

In my mind, based upon what I saw in the local market, that would not be acceptably competitive. I then visited local city building departments to research recently approved plans on theaters that had already been constructed. I proceeded to lay out a theater plan within this 160,000 square foot white elephant. My scheme was extremely ambitious, depicting a 10 auditorium theater comprising a total of 5,000 seats. Nothing like this had ever been attempted before, nor were there any articles published (that I was aware of) discussing such a concept. Armed with this plan, I began making cold calls to all of the local theater chain owners to pitch my concept. I hit on one, which turned out to be the dominant chain in the area. I met with the owner, they toured the facility with me, and they committed to the concept, albeit not quite as much as I had hoped. However, upon getting a firm commitment from them to move forward with a plan of 8 auditoriums at a total of 3,000 seats, it not only validated my concept, but also ultimately rewarded us with an Architectural commission that did not exist before my involvement.

A second example involved a major, national retail chain that wished to develop a new outlet in a residential neighborhood on a proposed site that was considered blighted. However they were experiencing strong neighborhood resistance to the placement of a new store in the midst of a community of single family homes because the Retailer’s store was over 100,000 square feet in size and had a reputation for being noisy. The solution came by way of our suggestion to the City and the Retailer to cooperate in the abandonment of an intervening and unnecessary public street, and converting it into a new public park for use by the neighborhood. A landscaped buffer to noise and activity was thereby created between the new store and local residents, and the neighborhood and City got a small park where none existed before, creating a feeling of goodwill on all sides. This is one of countless examples of the outside the box thinking that distinguished my Team approach from everyone else.

George Way- President, Way Architects, P.C.

Doug Fullen- Project Manager, Way Architects, P.C.

Design and Construction Administration for Multifamily Projects:

• Seminole Street Condominium Developments in Stuart Florida

Mr. Fullen provided conceptual design and construction document coordination for two separate 5-story luxury condominium structures located on a single waterfront block in Stuart, Florida. These developments set a precedent for the newly initiated urban redevelopment code in this fast-growing ocean-front community. By addressing the city’s regulatory requirements while fulfilling our clients’ visions, Mr. Fullen developed a framework in which exciting solutions could be found to meet each party’s needs.

• Stetson Meadows Apartments- Completed 2003, 180 units

This apartment complex in Colorado Springs is designed to effectively appeal to a broad range of tenants. Both subsidized and market-rate rental units have been brought together in an inventive design. Innovative building layouts and site planning have provided breezeways and arbors that connect several communal activity areas on the hillside site while creating 2-story townhouse-style units that are unusual in a suburban apartment setting. Landscaping and site detailing create interesting common areas that, when paired with easy pedestrian connectivity, provide focal points for activities and community social events. Mr. Fullen coordinated a comprehensive design package that encompassed all aspects of the community including land-planning, architecture, interior design and marketing graphics.

Design and Construction Administration for Commercial Projects:

• Northtree Recreation Center- Completed 2007, 6,800 S.F.

The Northtree Ranch House Recreation Center serves as the centerpiece for a 321 acre planned community called Northtree that will contain just over 1,000 homes at build-out. The recreation center was chosen from among 520 entries in the 2008 Gold Nugget Awards, to receive an Award of Merit for Best Public/Private Recreational Use Facility. The architecture of the building reflects the history of the ranch site upon which the development is located as well as providing residents with social and exercise space, and outdoor recreation venues such as a 25-meter Junior Olympic swimming pool, a water splash play area for children and tennis courts. The Recreation Facility also serves as an information center where visitor’s can come to learn about the community.

• Bear Creek Nature Center- Completed 2003, 8,800 S.F.

This important component of the El Paso County Parks system, originally destroyed by fire, was rebuilt and expanded after approval of a city-wide ballot initiative. Mr. Fullen worked closely with county staff to create a building that is functional, fire-resistive, aesthetically pleasing and within the budget set by the voters. The slope of the roof closely matches the previous structure, creating a strong connection with the past. The exhibit, multi-purpose and office areas were enlarged and the building’s location on the site respects both the natural terrain and existing animal migration paths.

• Victor City Hall Remodel- Completed 2004, 8,900 S.F.
  

The historic mining town of Victor, Colorado commissioned Way Architects to undertake the renovation of their 100 year-old city hall. The documents prepared by Mr. Fullen clearly defined the procedures required to repair the structure without jeopardizing its historic character. Services provided by our office included a comprehensive building survey, research into the availability of local materials and labor, coordination with the State Historical Society, and cost analysis.

Planning and Design for Mixed-Use and Residential Subdivisions:

• Village at College Creek- Currently under construction, 47 acres

Way Architects has provided complete planning, architectural and entitlement processing for this 47 acre parcel located in northern Colorado Springs. The design creates a mixed-use development that incorporates office, retail, multifamily residential and athletic club facilities. Landscaped paths, parking courts and streetscaping have been used to create an inviting, pedestrian-friendly environment. Way Architects has designed the first-phase of the retail center and created design standards that will encourage aesthetic continuity throughout the development.

• Trails End, Monument- Completed 2005, 45 acres

Mr. Fullen, in coordination with Kim Catalano, provided planning and entitlement services for this 86 lot single–family residential subdivision located within a small suburban community. The approval process for this project included coordination with the local Planning and Utility Departments, County authorities, the Colorado Department of Transportation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Special site challenges included the design of a utilities lift station and site planning that addressed existing railroad tracks, a state highway and an endangered species habitat.
