Tim Smith was quoted in Bloomberg and credited for his significant contribution to the development of Type III, wood-over-podium design in California. Nowadays, podium buildings are commonplace, but their roots can all be traced back to Tim Smith, sitting on a beach, and one ‘ah-ha’ moment. And the rest, as the story goes “is history!”

This and other notable contributions to our industry and the advancement in methodologies and techniques underscores AC Martin’s industry excellence.

Our design approach is simple yet powerful - “inside/out” and “hands-on”. This begins early on in our design and continues to consistently carry out through all phases of design and construction. The personal involvement of the firm’s principals in every project from inception to occupancy is another key attribute of our firm. Acclaimed for their unique ability to blend sensitive design with thoughtfully composed and cost-effective planning the principal in charge as well as all members of project team are involved in all aspects of administration, design and delivery of each project.

AC MARTIN | MULTIFAMILY + MIXED-USE

As a result, the Residential Studio has designed numerous buildings that have brought long lasting values and continues to positively impact environments and their users with our building design.

HISTORY OF FIRSTS

DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP Being a committed partner to projects, clients, and consultants is one of many critical factors for project success. As a first step to establishing a good partnership, we recognize and strive to be exceptional listeners. Through this simple yet powerful process, our design team is also able to filter through community comments and directives of civic leaders to come to a consensus. Moreover, it allows us to stay ahead of the market in terms of design trends, user demands, and technology. These principles have led us to where we are today: a true design partner.

AC Martin values the relationships of our clients that stand the test of time. Not every project is easy, but commitment to the relationship and the project is a crucial key. These relationships run deep. Our commitment is felt early with strong site due diligence support throughout the way to postoccupancy evaluation and client interviews to gauge our performance for future improvement.

PROJECT PLANNING & MANAGEMENT, FROM DESIGN TO FINISH We are proud of our performance in project planning and management, which has been well recognized in the A/E/C industry. Our success derives from providing strong principal involvement throughout all phases of project. In comparison to other architecture firms, our staff to principal ratio is very low. This allows us to take a tailored and hands-on approach, which begins with fully understanding the project vision, key economic pro-formative metrics, and schedule objectives. It is only when these factors are fully comprehended and committed to, then we can build a plan to execute successfully.

EFFICIENT / DIVERSIFIED REDEVELOPMENT AC Martin’s portfolio is diverse in construction type and height. Most popular and common now are the ‘podium’ style buildings, designed as wood-over-concrete, has been our practice specialty going back to when we designed and built the very first Type III podium building in the California.

This challenge and accomplishment has been written about in several national publications, including in Bloomberg BusinessWeek where founder Tim Smith, was interviewed recently. This strong demand, coupled with the diminishing land suitable for development has inspired us to become more innovative, and designing projects with even higher densities and complexity. AC Martin has in house experts to explore new heights and cost efficiencies with your development team.

While much of the work currently on the boards in AC Martin’s various studios is densified and urban, we take great care in the development of sensitive and suburban sites.

As part of the design process, we adopt a strong practice of modulating and tapering of form that responds to contextual forces and to be more sensitive to lower scale density of adjacent areas. A formal approach is taken to step down building massing to better integrate with the surrounding areas and urban form. Often times the result is a pleasing project edge that serves as a good neighbor to adjacent buildings and is not just a formulaic stepping down of the building floor by floor. Many projects exhibit these strategies, including many that take on a top, middle and base approach, as well as providing articulation to the building line to break down the overall building massing.

We are proud of the level of commitment we have toward our mixed-use residential sector. Given our historic contributions to the industry and current design practice, AC Martin is a recognized thought and practice leader in California.

TSM HISTORY + INTEGRATION One of TSM’s founders, Tim Smith, spent much of his childhood working alongside his father, who was a framer on the job site. His familiarity with wood-framing techniques and the construction process has since become the backbone of his professional career. Tim first met his future partner, Glenn Togawa, during his freshman year at the University of Southern California. In fact, Glenn and Tim were college roommates. Their friendship flourished and has lasted well beyond their college years.

The Architecture and Planning firm ‘Togawa & Smith’ was established in 1975 in Santa Monica, California. After less

more than 30 years, Glenn and Tim joined forces with a long-time friend Chris Martin of AC Martin in 2005.

They had known the Martins for many years, raising their children in the same tight knit community. In fact, Tim’s son Ryan was roommates with Chris’ son Patrick while studying at USC.

Together, as a fully integrated firm, AC Martin’s Residential Studio continues to serve both private and non-profit developers throughout California to provide thoughtful design and technical expertise to bring more housings and mixed-use projects.

One centralized location that provides residential units, office/work spaces, amenities, open spaces, commercial/retail and additional components continues to increase in popularity.

Through thoughtful and collaborative team effort, the firm has demonstrated our design and technical excellence while providing many added values to our developer clients.

Fontana, California

The Falcon Ridge residential community is strategically located on a 70-acre site near the confluence of Interstate 210 and 15. It has been planned for 3,000 residential units, and is currently in the entitlement phase. The concept is to provide a more urban lifestyle in a garden like setting – with 50% of the site dedicated to active and passive open space.

The project will range from 2-3 story town homes and low-rise apartments on the northerly portion of the site to better interface with the two-story neighboring single family homes at that location. The remainder of the site is developed with 5-8 story podium apartments organized along a community scenic loop road with wide median and landscape edges. Most podium buildings will feature above and below grade parking. The above grade parking levels will feature liner units so the entire building perimeter will consist of residential units, with no parking levels visible to the community. There will be multiple neighborhood pools and spas located in the community, along with a dog park and wash.
