A moribund shopping center at the intersection of three major thoroughfares has been brought to new life through contemporary architectural features and a visually aggressive lighting design. With outdated, inefficient, and poorly maintained light fixtures, the center was dark and uninviting at night. With new, sleek, minimalist light fixtures with energy-efficient and low-maintenance lamping, the center has become a vibrant destination within its community.

Located in Ladera Ranch, California, this mixed-use complex was designed to serve as an athletic hub for youth sports in the Orange County region. This project is a 4-story 120,500 SF "podium design" with parking on the ground level that leads to a 62,000 SF sporting center consisting of 8 indoor basketball/volleyball courts and a foodservice commons. ‍In addition to the sports complex, this project also houses a Smartstop Asset Management location. This includes 42,000 square feet of indoor self-storage space and 16,000 square feet of corporate office space. ‍With the project being constructed and designed with sustainability in mind, Solar Photovoltaic Panels cover the 70,000 square foot roof. The building ultimately achieved LEED Gold Certification from the United States Green Building Council.

This project is a new greenhouse & headhouse space building with wet and dry research laboratories, growth chamber housing, and space for faculty and academic support. The project is envisioned to host multiple scientific disciplines engaged in collaborative research.

Responsible design was a key factor for Vans during the process of building out their current home base. This project included shell and core upgrades and tenant improvements in an existing 179,000 SF commercial office building. The building is far more efficient than a typical Title 24 building- achieving 95% energy savings over the 2005 California Energy Code used as the LEED standard at that time. The project earned a LEED Platinum certification scoring 118 points, while the range for a Platinum Score is 80-110. In addition to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering services, tk1sc also provided low voltage systems design, commissioning, and LEED administration services for this project.

Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated is a global commercial real estate services company that provides investment management services worldwide, including services to institutional and retail investors and high-net-worth individuals.‍Needing a bigger workspace after acquiring HFF, JLL relocated their Irvine headquarters to a new 35,000 square-foot office at Intersect located at 17877 Von Karman in Irvine, CA. The new office space can accommodate approximately 150 employees with collaboration, teamwork, and transparency in mind. ‍tk1sc provided mechanical, plumbing, and lighting design services on this project. The design required collaboration with the architect on larger open ceiling conditions and full-height wall construction, and proper HVAC zoning from base building VAVs with electric reheat. In addition, we collaborated during design and construction with the architect, general contractor, mechanical sub-contractor, and building landlord regarding proper openings in wall construction to ensure return air paths back to main floor return air fans.

The two ten-story Trammell Crow next-generation office space, one-million-square-foot LEED Gold high-rise buildings are interconnected with sky bridges, a central park with outdoor workspaces, retail, café, and a9-story parking structure. This project involved full mechanical, electrical, plumbing, low voltage, and audio-visual technology design with a full build-out of tenant improvements for separate clients. After the start of construction in February of 2016, the team archived the goal of substantial completion in September of 2017, on time and under budget.
