800 Western

tcaeditor - Oct 09, 2017

This project is designed as a modern abstraction of Art Deco and Streamline Moderne in response to the existing historical Art Deco building on-site. It is a contrast between today and the modern times of the 1920s. The existing building is regular in shape, formulaic in its façade rhythm of pilasters and decorative cornice. The new retail building façade meanders from floor to floor and the shopfront glazing layout varies in width and transparency in relationship. This design characteristic is drawn across to the building where retail uses continue the street wall. The building design reflects today’s notion of evoking motion with subtle reference to the past automobile culture. Reinforcing this theme is the assortment of material and transparency with the enhanced panels shift in various directions. The dynamic façade of the retail continues to the most prominent corner on the site by engaging the tower to the highest reaches of the building that is visibly celebrated with views of Los Angeles.

LA JOLLA HOTEL

TCA Architect - Nov 15, 2016

This six story hotel concept is positioned in the urban design/lifestyle segment and is conceived as a contemporary, simple yet elegant Southern California-inspired design that appeals to business and leisure travelers. Created with an urban vibe, the active bar lounge scene and convenient stylish meeting and gathering spaces are up–to-date with the latest trends and functionality to satisfy all the needs of today’s travelers. The hotel forms are composed to relate to the context of the retail center and to take advantage of the solar orientation and the La Jolla climate, establishing an intrinsic connection with the local area of San Diego. The building orientation will enable a convenient auto drop-off and self-parking as well as easy pedestrian-friendly access to the nearby retail services and food and beverage venues. A 4,000 square foot restaurant is located on the ground floor with alfresco dining, providing an active and inviting face to the commercial center, especially during the evening hours. The hotel lobby and lounge are open spaces with a clean aesthetic and infused with a local connection via arts and music enabling ease of circulation and a flexible flow for breakfast, informal events and business meetings. The guestroom plan serves 150 rooms complimented with an elevated pool deck, a high-tech second level fitness center and state-of-the-art business center amenities.

TELEGRAPH HOTEL

TCA Architect - Oct 02, 2016

This mixed use project, designed for a leading nationwide residential developer was submitted to the City of Oakland in response to an RFP for a prominent site in the City’s burgeoning Uptown district. The City required the applicants’ proposals include a hotel, and TCA responded with a 135 room boutique-style business hotel extending the full length of the property on Telegraph Avenue. Gracious ground floor public programing extends the length of the street-front and wraps both side streets affording food and beverage service, lounge and check-in functions visible to passers-by through generous floor-to-ceiling glazing. Additional functions include meeting space, fitness center, and a rooftop bar.

HYATT REGENCY LA JOLLA

TCA Architect - Jan 15, 2016

Inspired by the natural beauty and surf culture of the California coast, the renovation for the Hyatt Regency La Jolla’s restaurant and public spaces is a fresh, modern approach to the interior design. Vibrant colors paired with calming, neutral tones provide a look unique to California; it exudes the casual and cool ambiance often associated with the region. The bar and dining coexist in an inclusive space that allows for flexibility in use and efficiency in service. The restaurant transforms fluidly from day to night, creating a dynamic space that serves guests needs.

SAN JOSE TRIBUTE

TCA Architect - Jan 07, 2016

In the city of San Jose a new 280 key hotel tower is planned for the property immediately adjacent to the former Montgomery Hotel, now operating as a Four Points by Sheraton hotel – a Starwood brand. The Montgomery, built in 1911, in the Italianate Commercial style, is on the National Register of Historic Places. The designers were challenged to integrate the hotel functions with the new tower while preserving and enhancing the historic value of the existing building. The new tower will rise adjacent to the historic building, defining a tall slender atrium space, and then cantilever out over the historic structure beginning on the 7th level. The new hotel is expressed in a modern style with floor to ceiling curtainwall glazing. A rooftop pool terrace, events pavilion and fitness club compliments the hotel program.
