We are bringing our design expertise to Chicago O'Hare International Airport! Today, the City of Chicago unveiled our design for Satellite Concourse 1, the first phase of the O’Hare 21 Terminal Area Plan, a curb-to-gate transformation of O’Hare International Airport into a modern, efficient global hub. We are thrilled to share this milestone with our team—Ross Barney Architects, JGMA, Arup, and others—with whom we have been collaborating since winning the international design competition to design the satellite concourses that will set a new standard for passenger experience, comfort, and operational efficiency at O'Hare. Serving both international and domestic passengers, Satellite 1 will add 19 flexible new gates and contribute to a considerable reduction in layover transfers for passengers in one of the nation’s busiest airports. "We designed the new satellite concourse to create a frictionless experience for travelers, on par with the best airports in the world," said Partner Scott Duncan. "The gate lounges feature column-free expanses for easy wayfinding, high ceilings to optimize views, and a daylighting strategy to help align the body's natural rhythms–all to make the experience of air travel more pleasurable." Construction on the concourse began in March 2023 and is on track for completion in 2028. Read more in the Crain's Chicago Business article below.

On the boards now – Austin International School Renovation! Austin International School is a seamless trilingual learning experience for families with a global outlook. As a first step in implementing a broader campus plan, this initial renovation looks to add much needed classroom space and a new entry and welcome center to the existing school, housed in an old church. Inspired by the mission of the school to fuel inquiry and inspire critical thinking, the new library creates an environment designed to fuel curiosity and adventure. Taking advantage of the existing arched windows, nest-like reading niches encourage students to bring a book to the light. In keeping with the seamless experience, the school seeks to provide, shelving with casters allows reconfiguration to serve a wide array of arrangement. The tall volume of the existing space is animated with light globes that dance playfully though the space, capturing the energy and global perspective of the school. #austinarchitecture #sanantonioarchitecture #texashomes #residentialdesign #workplacedesign #civicdesign #educationdesign #exhibitdesign #wayfindingdesign #accessibledesign #sustainabledesign #adaptivereuse #schooldesign #highereducationdesign #preservation #inspiredbynature #inspiringyoungleaders #creatingcommunity #inclusivedesign #communityengagement #womeninarchitecture #womenownedbusiness #40yearsofarchitecture #mckinneyyorkarchitects #austin

Construction is well underway at the new St. Julian of Norwich Parish Hall! Yesterday, we got to tour the site with project manager Ko Kuwabara, AIA, who answered our many questions about this special space. Swipe to see the renderings of this soon-to-be finished project! The concept for the new campus for the St. Julian of Norwich congregation celebrates gathering together for communion and highlights the duality underlying the mission and character of the congregation. Members of the church participate in the spiritual, contemplative realm while engaging in the temporal world through acts of service and outreach. The architecture of the Parish Hall gives form to this concept using three principal elements: a series of rippling roof forms moving east to west across the site; a gathering space that takes the form of the communion table; and a spire element that serves as an invitation to the surrounding community. Outside, the sloping roofs shelter small group and individual spaces – the family units of the congregation. These spaces for gatherings of all sizes express the congregation’s dynamic engagement and commitment to energetic service and outreach. Within the Parish Hall, high clerestory windows to the south allow natural light to filter into the space and offer up views of the heavens. Across the space, broad, low windows frame views of down-to-earth garden spaces, while sliding glass doors create opportunities for indoor-outdoor events. Together, these elements position those gathering for communion between the temporal and spiritual worlds. The Parish Hall will initially serve as a multipurpose building supporting worship for up to 150 members of the congregation, in addition to housing administrative and educational spaces. #austinarchitecture #sanantonioarchitecture #cedarparkarchitecture #spiritualdesign #constructionprogress #ontheboards #creatingcommunity #communityengagement #womeninarchitecture #womenownedbusiness #40yearsofarchitecture #mckinneyyorkarchitects

It was a privilege to participate in yesterday's 2024 AIA Austin Design Awards celebration! We are honored to be a part of a community that continues pushing the boundaries of architectural innovation, advocating for sustainable design principles, and serving as a catalyst for positive change within our built environment. We, along with our talented colleagues at Olson Kundig took home a Design Award of Merit for Comedor Restaurant, a collaboration that not only revitalized a corner plot in downtown Austin but gave back to the community a true Austin experience, a blend of nature, vibrant urban life and great food! We would like to thank our clients, consultants and local artisans, especially Drophousedesign, who helped fabricate custom details to bring the indoor-outdoor design to life! A visit to the restaurant to experience the design and culinary mastery first hand is a must!
