Special accoutrements include:
- An imaginative white, aviation-inspired ALCOA "Reynobond" aileron wing frames the entire building, sponsoring a projecting small wing as a feature tower cap.
- Cascading down from the Executive Penthouse is a nearly all-glass curtain-wall - trimmed out with silver anodized louvers and a rare use of Parakan Teak trim - imported from Viet-Glan, Austria.
- At the foot of the building, one finds an entry-level public Plaza appointed with marble, granite, quartzite porcelain, and a custom sculpture, "Parenting," commissioned to renowned California outdoor artist Archie Held, whose work also adorns buildings in downtown Manhattan.
- The Plaza level is equipped with the industry’s top-of-the-line Tables, Umbrellas, Chairs and Designer Benches for pedestrian-friendly access and comfort, and flows directly into an elegant entry lobby appointed with a continuation of the stonework featured on the Plaza, together with a hi-bay dome, cherry paneling, brushed-aluminum wrapped columns, decorator mirror treatments, that lead up to a featured, custom glass staircase; accompanied by an outside-inside glass display entitled "Inspir-arrium" - a multi-faceted, concrete/glass-mosaic/brushed aluminum/brushed brass water-fall tower, flowing into a Zen-Garden terrarium that adjoins a relaxed Lobby Seteé lounge area, while being highlighted with custom-made, pastel-LED special mood-lighting effects.
- A cape of Travertine marble stonework swings around the building's exterior feature-tower to embrace the Lobby's elevator wall at every level. In a number of places, this effect is highlighted by nearby and accompanying special LED lighting fixtures and effects - one of which highlights a unique, oil-on-stainless, liquid sculpture designed by the project's Developer, and entitled "Graduallizing Gravity."
- Off the Lobby, a double-sized relaxation shower area has been included for the convenience of tenants, active runners, and both recreational and transit bikers, appended by full club-style restroom/showers on the 2nd floor.
- A State-of-the-Art Display "Vitrine" with a community cultural electronic "billboard" featuring audio-video experiences spanning local historical topics, through current events and activities, and reaching out to preview futuristic subjects - both local and global.
- A fully-integrated, Hi-tech Honeywell Energy Management System, combining all-utility energy management and remote reporting for building systems and controls - including the fire protection and security systems,
- A fiber-optic-ready infrastructure - ready to serve all forward-looking and forward-needing tenants,
- and all of this functionally served by an unusual, secure, "tuck-under" parking garage, professionally decorated as part of the building’s design canvas by J.T. Galle,
- Gracefully leading into the rear of the featured Entry Lobby, whose décor owes its grace and style to the superb interior talents of Gensler of San José.
Now receiving wide attention for both overall project and architectural design award recognitions, Bryant Park Plaza recently conducted its long-awaited Grand Opening on July 18th, 2014, was named Runner-Up for the San José Business Journal’s Annual Structures Award, and three months later was certified as the first ground-up, LEED Gold Commercial Project to arrive to Downtown Mountain View.

The Seville Plaza, three residential/commercial stories over a 2-level underground garage, was conceived and designed as a state-of-the-art, high-security, leading-edge, mixed-use project.

The Alliance Land Building
Located in downtown San José, one block from the brand new City Hall, this project undertakes the complete renovation of a relic building first erected during the 1907 earthquake. A complete redesign will result in the re-conversion of old World War II apartments into modern professional offices, featuring classical treatments that expose and celebrate the historical features of California Revival architecture. New national retail tenants will occupy the street level, featuring European sidewalk café service. A complete reconfiguration of the basement level, once a venerable San José department store, including a new full-service elevator, will result in the first downtown, professional record-storage facility of its kind.

The North Oaks Plaza & "The Roller Dome"
Thousand Oaks, California
Originally acquired in 1985, this 47,000# neighborhood Shopping Plaza, which gave birth to Little Caesars Pizza in California, was completely redesigned in 1994 under the direction of Heathcote and Associates Architects (Westlake Village), at which time the original K&B Markets grocery store anchor was replaced by a state-of-the-art retail sports enterprise developed by Arnell, known as The RollerDome. This 22,000# community center (In-line Roller Hockey, Family Roller-Skating, and Birthday and Corporate Parties, employs 25-30 people and serves up to 2,000 people per week on a custom-made, imported Canadian Maple hardwood floor, which more recently has given way to the new industry standard of a custom-made “lavender-ice” SportCourt©. When the hockey program reached 1,000 players per week, it was declared the largest of its kind in the country, and paved the way for many others that followed. Arnell gave development and management advice, pro bono, to many other cities in the U.S., for developing such communtiy recreational centers. |
