About Assembledge +

Jacques Marie Mage Offices

A B O U T AS S E M B L E D G E + Since its inception, Assembledge+ has steadfastly pursued an architectural vision rooted in a dedication to collaborative efforts and craftsmanship. This commitment seeks to forge enduring spaces prioritizing user experience, fostering innovation, and upholding sustainability principles. We believe in the art of collaboration. The name Assembledge+ was purposefully chosen to encapsulate the firm’s zeal for “assembling” the often intricate components of the design process. This results in an architecture that is timeless, attuned to its environment uplifts the human spirit. The “+” symbolizes an approach that comprehends the comprehensive interplay of interconnected elements, recognizing that architecture transcends mere drawings and an assembly of building materials. It encompasses a collaborative journey with clients, specialized consultants, builders, and, of course, the team members. It also entails an ongoing exploration and innovation – both programmatic and technological – to pursue optimal, tailored solutions for each project. Our work may be characterized as warm modernism – a vocabulary featuring legibility of form, an embrace of the sunlight, and a material palette that evokes a sense of warmth and texture. Founded and led by David Thompson, AIA, Assembledge+ offers to every project, large or small, high levels of design sensitivity, technical expertise, and principal hands-on involvement.

Our approach to architecture is rooted in the belief that design is successful when users enjoy themselves in a space but aren’t quite sure why. For us, architecture should be timeless, attuned to its environment, and elevating the human spirit. Leveraging our inclusive approach, collaborative process, and the strengths of each studio member, our design capabilities are continually evolving, resulting in architectural work that is carefully crafted and in unity with its surroundings. Our design process begins with questions. What is the program and the intent? What is the aspiration? A thorough analysis informs these conversations of the site – the property, the neighboring community, and the client’s specific needs and aspirations. The resulting architecture combines these imperatives with materials, technology, craftsmanship, and form. The creation of lasting environments, developed with a sense of responsibility, stands as a defining aspect of the firm’s design ethos. This is achieved through the implementation of sustainable strategies, the crafting of adaptable sequences of highly functional enclosed and open spaces, and the dissolution of boundaries between interior and exterior realms.

PROJECT TYPE Tenant Improvement - Office SIZE 9,400 SF PROJECT TEAM David Thompson (Principal-inCharge), Jennifer Rios

Inspired by the aspiration for both men’s and women’s collections that seamlessly bridge city life and outdoor adventures, AETHER’s product line embodies a harmonious blend of form and function. Seeking to capture this essence, AETHER Apparel collaborated with Assembledge+ to reinvigorate an existing 1953 bow truss building, crafting a new and vibrant headquarters that mirrors the brand’s core ethos and fosters a workspace characterized by transparency and creativity. The design solution centered around honoring the building’s original essence. This was achieved by reimagining the space to encourage a communal and adaptable environment, thoughtfully sectioned into workstations, a dynamic design studio and shared spaces thoughtfully integrated with a showroom. The project’s aesthetic embodies clean lines, predominantly white interiors enriched with wooden accents, and the allure of exposed warehouse elements, collectively crafting an open, airy office exuding a modern sensibility that nurtures seamless communication. Reflecting their deep environmental commitment, the client prioritized eco-consciousness, driving the space to embrace sustainability.

Driven by strategic vision and content-centric approach, gNet, a dynamic creative agency and production studio, engaged Assembledge+ to orchestrate the expansion of their operations to a new headquarters nestled in the vibrant Miracle Mile neighborhood of Los Angeles. Encompassing one and a half floors within the Miracle Mile Tower, the office’s design is an embodiment of the agency’s mission. With a resolute focus on versatility, the space aims to cultivate an environment that mirrors the agency’s core values — one that encourages an open, transparent work culture, nurturing the seeds of creativity, collaboration, and communication. Structured around the captivating vistas of three primary landmarks visible from the suite — downtown Los Angeles, the Hollywood Hills, and the Pacific Ocean — communal spaces, private offices, and meeting rooms are arrayed along the perimeter of the building. This deliberate arrangement maximizes exposure to panoramic views and harnesses abundant natural light. Additionally, the strategic infusion of color in shared areas pays homage to the landmarks and unique perspectives that characterize distinct segments within the building.

LOCATION Los Angeles, California PROJECT TYPE Tenant Improvement SIZE 4,000 SF PROJECT TEAM David Thompson (Principal-inCharge), Cesar Quinones

Urban wilds or great outdoors, Aether aims to be out and about. Born out of the desire for a men’s collection that looked at home in the city but was built to withstand the outdoors, Aether worked with Assembledge+ to develop their new flagship store that would support the brand’s mission to create a complete lifestyle collection for urban-dwelling, design-focused, well-travelled men and women. Located in the heart of Los Angeles’ La Brea design district, the retail space is set in a 4,000square-feet industrial space. Two full-sized glass garage doors open onto the sidewalk, facilitating interaction with the pedestrians, and allowing for natural light and air to fill the space. Inside, the store features a walk-in freezer for prospective gear testing housed in a custom 13-by-13-foot wood cabana, along with 45 modular wood crates that can be moved and rearranged to give the space a different feel monthly, seasonally. A threshold of white and black gives the open space a sense of division while contemplating the brand’s dual character to be classic and modern in the city and highly practical and functional in the outdoors.

NOOK MELVILLE Tenant Improvement

LOCATION Vancouver, British Columbia PROJECT TYPE Tenant Improvement SIZE 4.600 SF + 1200 SF Patio PROJECT TEAM David Thompson (Principal-inCharge), Scott Nusinow, Caleb Schweter

The Nook brand expands to Coal Harbor with a new location on the ground floor of The Stack high-rise. The design challenge was to maintain the intimate, neighborhood Italian restaurant character that the brand is known for in the context of a larger commercial space defined by glass, metal panels and soaring ceilings. To create a sense of warmth and human scale, a wood coffered ceiling was introduced bringing the height down and adding a rich architectural texture. At the center of the room, the bar becomes the focal point featuring a beautifully detailed wood gantry with recessed lighting overhead. A curved horseshoe bar below topped with light stone material mirrors its form and invites guests to come together for a drink. Various indoor booth layouts accomodate 114 guests, while a spacious outdoor patio seats 32, offering flexibility for a range of dining experiences. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, making it a great place for lunch or a casual dinner. An open kitchen anchors the space highlighted by a red-tiled pizza oven and shelving styled with pizza boxes and classic tomato cans. These details add a familiar touch and authenticity. Light herringbone oak floors, and strategically placed mirrors enhance the natural brightness, creating a light and airy feel throughout. The result is a warm, refined interior that blends urban chic with subtle rustic charm.

Located to the east of Vancouver, in Burnaby, the project seeks to bring the brand’s hallmark formula of upscale, inventive, and global cuisine paired with a high-energy, high-design setting to a neighborhood accessible to a new segment of the city’s residents. With seating for nearly 300 guests both inside and on the patio, the lounge and dining room are clad in the signature material palate, consisting of the cornerstone finishes rift-cut white oak, oil-rubbed bronze, and dark leather. The interior design epitomizes the Cactus Club brand with its clean, modern, and sumptuous aesthetic. A continuous ribbon of wood ceiling transverses the space, creating a cohesive design element that unifies the dining experience. Situated on a prominent corner at the base of a new development, the exterior walls of the space are completely operable, seamlessly integrating interior and exterior spaces. A new canopy, clad in blackened steel, strikes a bold line to distinguish the restaurant from the tower above. The wood ribbon ceiling extends out with the canopy, projecting the signature design element of the space out into the public realm. The patio is capable of being operated year-round, made possible with a combination of sliding glass walls and radiant heat arrays that are seamlessly integrated into the architecture and disappear completely during the warm months.

RUSTIC CANYON RESIDENCE Extensive Renovation

Photos by Yoshihiro Makino

LOCATION

A seamless integration of the dwelling and landscape.

Pacific Palisades, California PROJECT TYPE Extensive Renovation SIZE 8,000 SF PROJECT TEAM David Thompson (Principal-inCharge), Mitchell Streichhirsch, Raul Aguilera, Can Jiang

Perched on the crest of a westward canyon, Rustic Canyon Residence is a serene retreat that exudes a treehouse-like ambiance, seamlessly blending with its natural surroundings. This craft-forward home is located in a heavily wooded neighborhood rich with lush vegetation and dotted with organic modern houses designed by architectural legends such as Ray Kappe, Richard Neutra and Frank Lloyd Wright. A primary objective was to create outdoor connections at multiple levels, harmonizing with the existing topography and hillside. The extensive use of low-carbon Western Red Cedar, both indoors and out, allows the home to blend organically with the landscape as if emerging naturally from the ground. Embracing the principles of organic modernism, the home features a carefully chosen palette of materials, including brick, cork, ebonized oak, and black metal. These elements contrast with and complement the cedar, deepening the home's connection to its natural surroundings. The terraced softscape along the southern frontage maximizes site permeability with native, drought-tolerant landscaping while overhanging trellises on the south-facing glazing minimizes solar heat gain in the sleeping and living quarters. Expansive windows, sliding doors and natural materials enhance the sense of being among the trees, while the open floor plan fosters a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

L AU R E L H I L L S R E S I D E N C E Studio City, California Comprising three pavilions connected by glass hallways, this single-story Los Angeles residence forms a serene oasis. The Western Red Cedar-lined guest house/garage pavilion sets a datum line that links the larger living and sleeping pavilions, featuring oversized charcoal-colored board, batten extira, and cement board siding. A key project aim was to deeply engage the living experience with the property’s natural landscape, achieved through large windows, skylights, and pocketing doors that conjure layered scenes and infuse the home with light.

W O N D E R L A N D PA R K R E S I D E N C E Laurel Canyon, California

Nestled in the hills of the Laurel Canyon, this residence is situated within an enclave of mid-century residences from which it draws its inspiration. Originally a ranch house built in 1956, the project entails a second-floor addition and extensive remodeling. The kitchen is the heart of the residence, physically connecting the social and private areas and providing views horizontally to the landscape and vertically through the skylight. The house uses sustainably harvested Red Cedar cladding, a solar photovoltaic system, grey water system for irrigation, native and drought tolerant planting and formaldehyde-free MDF cabinetry.

F R Y M A N C A N YO N R E S I D E N C E Studio City, California

The Fryman Canyon Residence is situated in the hills of Studio City. The main living spaces are linked by zig-zagsliding doors opening to the garden, while a new family room, echoing the sawtooth motif, descends two steps below the main floor. The kitchen, elevated slightly above the family room, incorporates skylights and white marble walls. The residence gives a sense of transparency, bringing in ample light and extending the living area outside, into the tiered landscape. It represents a contemporary take on mid-century style and maximizes views of the outdoors.

P RO P O S E D S C O P E O F WO R K

The extent of Architectural Services described herein are understood to be in accordance with the size and complexity of the project as defined in the Project Understanding. This document will serve as a contractual agreement for the provision of services, which is formulated in accordance with the Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect as prescribed by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), subsequent to the mutual acceptance of the proposed remuneration and scope of work.

SECTION 1 ARCHITECTURE SERVICES | DESIGN + DOCUMENTATION Assembledge+, in its role as the Architect of Record (AOR) will be responsible for preparing, signing, and sealing the construction documents for the project, as well as coordinating with the Expediter on necessary permits and approvals. Additionally, we will take the lead in the coordination of the project with all consultants and engineers to ensure an efficient design process. The following breakdown outlines our prime responsibilities during each phase: Schematic Design Working collaboratively with the Tenant, the Tenant’s Designer, CIM Group, and other project stakeholders, Assembledge+ will assist in the development of the project from the Tenant Designer’s initial design intent into a coordinated architectural concept suitable to advance into Design Development. It is anticipated that the Tenant’s Designer will establish the overall creative direction for the project and may provide materials including a finalized space plan, precedent and inspiration imagery, material and finish palettes, furniture concepts, and other design-intent information. The extent and level of development of these materials is not yet known. As Architect of Record, Assembledge+ will review the information provided for code, constructibility, coordination, and technical requirements. Where elements of the architectural design have not been fully developed by the Tenant’s Designer, Assembledge+ may supplement and further develop the design as necessary to create a cohesive and executable project. This may include refinement of the space plan, architectural detailing, ceiling and lighting concepts, material transitions, doors and openings, builtin elements and millwork, coordination of finishes and fixtures, and other architectural components required to translate the overall design intent into a complete architectural solution. The level of Assembledge+ involvement during Schematic Design will therefore be responsive to the completeness of the information provided by the Tenant’s Designer. Schematic Design services will be performed on an hourly basis, allowing Assembledge+ to provide architectural and design support where needed without duplicating work performed by the Tenant’s Designer. Assembledge+ will work collaboratively with the Tenant’s Designer to maintain and reinforce the established creative direction while bringing the design sensitivity, technical expertise, and project experience necessary to carry the project forward into Design Development and Construction Documents.

Note: Assembledge+ will require an approved Schematic Design Package including an approved Space Plan and sufficient designintent information, prior to proceeding with Design Development. Design Development During this phase, Assembledge+ work closely with all consultants contracted by CIM Group to ensure necessary building systems are coordinated without compromising the architectural design. As this process occurs, the architectural plans will be developed in greater detail in an effort to fix the size, quantity, and location of all aspects of the design including walls, rooms, openings, built-in cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, lighting, etc. Note: Assembledge+ will require signed approval of the Design Development drawings prior to moving forward with Construction Documents. Any design iterations and/or meetings required beyond those outlined above or any modifications to the approved Design Development set will be considered additional services and billed accordingly. Construction Documents Based on the approved Design Development Package, Assembledge+ will prepare Contract Documents for approval by CIM Group and the Tenant consisting of construction drawings, setting forth in detail the requirements for the construction of the project. The Construction Documents will provide the necessary detail and specification to describe the design intent in a manner that the documents may be used by a General Contractor to adequately provide a bid for the construction of the project. It is during this phase that the plans will also be submitted to the local building authorities to initiate the plan check and permitting process. During this phase, drawings and specifications will be submitted to the local building department as required for any applicable building permit approvals. Assembledge+ will respond to any comments or corrections as required to secure approvals. The Permit Submittal Set will also serve as the Bid Set for cost analysis. A 3rd party Expediter will assist and coordinate all regulatory approvals - planning, building and safety, etc. Assembledge+ will solicit expediting proposals for the Owner's review during the Design Development phase. Note: Any additional design iterations and/or meetings required beyond those outlined above or any modifications to the approved Construction Documents set will be considered additional services and will be billed accordingly.

SECTION 2 ARCHITECTURE SERVICES | CONSTRUCTION PHASE Tender & Negotiation If required, the AOR will prepare a package for bidding or selecting a contractor. This includes responding to any questions bidders/ General Contractors might have to aid in determining the final budget. Construction Administration Upon execution of a contract for construction, the work of the General Contractor will be observed and reviewed at regular intervals for conformance to the design intent and for overall quality of work. This will include coordination with contractors, site visits, production of clarification sketches, and review of the necessary shop drawings. Assembledge+ proposes to provide on-site representation at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction progress, as well as to conduct weekly virtual meetings with the Owner, Architect, and Contractor.

The Architect grants to the Owner a non-exclusive license to reproduce the Architect’s instruments of service solely for purposes of constructing, using, maintaining, remodeling and rebuilding the Project, provided that the Owner substantially performs its obligations under the Agreement, including prompt payment of all sums when due. In the event the Owner uses the Work Product without retaining the authors of the Work Product, the Owner releases the Architect and its consultant(s) from all claims and causes of action arising from such uses. The Owner, to the extent permitted by law, further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Architect and its consultants from all costs and expenses, including the cost of defense, related to claims and causes of action asserted by any third person or entity to the extent such costs and expenses arise from the Owner’s use of the Work Project Without the Architect’s prior written consent, the Work Product may not be used by the Owner or any third party for future phases or additions to the Project, or for any other projects, whether by the Owner or others. Any unauthorized use of the Work Product without specific written verification and adaptation by the Architect for its intended purposes will be at the user's sole risk and without liability or legal exposure to the Architect. The Architect retains ownership of any developed designs, graphics, patterns, custom-designed products/furniture, branding, etc. and reserves all rights to reuse them on future projects with other clients. 8. OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES. The Owner shall provide the Architect with all necessary information, documents, surveys, reports and drawings required for the design services for this Project in a timely manner, and the Architect shall be entitled to rely on the same. The Owner must make decisions and approve the Architect’s submittals in a timely manner to avoid unreasonable

delay in the Architect’s progress of services. The Owner must provide prompt written notice to the Architect if the Owner becomes aware of any defect or fault in the Project, including errors, omissions or inconsistencies in the Architect’s surveys, models, sketches, drawings, specifications, and other similar materials. If requested by the Architect, the Owner shall furnish evidence that financial arrangements have been made to fulfill the Owner’s responsibilities under the Agreement. If and to the extent the Project includes any services in connection with more than one (1) residential unit, the Owner represents and warrants to the Architect that the Project is intended to be developed as an apartment complex and the Owner does not currently intend to sell or transfer ownership of any apartment unit or other improvement to separate owners for individual residential use. The Owner acknowledges that the Architect has not been asked to design the Project for condominium ownership and that the Architect’s risk of liability or potential liability in condominium projects is greater than in "for-rent" residential apartment projects. Accordingly, in no event may the Owner convert the Project to a condominium prior to ten (10) years from the date a certificate of occupancy is issued for the Project. 9. INSURANCE. The Architect, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain the following insurance for the duration of the Agreement: (i) Commercial General Liability in the amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate, naming the Owner as an additional insured; (ii) Professional Liability covering negligent acts, errors and omissions in the performance of professional services with policy limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per claim and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate; (iii) Worker’s Compensation as required by law; and (iv) Automobile Liability covering owned and rented vehicles operated by the Architect with policy limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit and aggregate for bodily injury and property damage. All insurance policies described above shall be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the jurisdiction where the Project site is located, with a policy holder rating of B+ or better and a financial size category of VII or better in Best’s Insurance Guide. Upon execution of the Agreement, the Architect shall promptly deliver to the Owner a copy of the certificate of insurance evidencing the coverage described in this section. All insurance referenced above shall be primary and non-contributing with any insurance maintained by the Owner. 10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In recognition of the relative risks and benefits of the Project to both the Owner and

(continued on next page)

Jacques Marie Mage Offices

the Architect, the risks associated with the Project are hereby allocated such that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of the Architect and its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and consultants to the Owner and its officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, trustees, beneficiaries, employees, agents, general contractor, separate contractors, and other consultants for any and all claims, losses, costs, and damages of any nature whatsoever arising from or related to the Project, shall be limited to the lesser of (i) the fees actually received by the Architect for services rendered under the Agreement, and (ii) the amount of the Architect’s available insurance. Said limitation of liability shall apply regardless of the legal basis for the claim, loss, cost or damage, including, but not limited to, claims, losses, costs or damages based on the theory of breach of contract, professional or ordinary negligence, or breach of warranty. Neither the Owner nor the Architect shall be liable under the Agreement for punitive, exemplary, consequential or other indirect or special damages. It is intended by the parties to the Agreement that, except as permitted by applicable law (e.g., fraud), the parties’ obligations under the Agreement shall not subject the Owner’s or the Architect’s individual shareholders, employees, officers or directors to any personal legal exposure for the risks associated with this Project. Therefore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as permitted by applicable law, the Owner and the Architect agree not to direct or assert any claim, demand or suit against any of the Owner’s or the Architect’s individual shareholders, employees, officers or directors. 11. PHOTOGRAPHY. The Architect retains the right to photograph and/or arrange for photography of the project; and the right to present the project in publications, upon consulting with the Owner. The Architect may include photographic or artistic representations of the design of the Project among the Architect’s promotional and professional materials. However, the Architect’s materials shall not include information the Owner has identified in writing as confidential or proprietary. The Owner shall provide professional credit for the Architect in the Owner’s promotional materials for the Project. 12. ARBITRATION. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement or a breach thereof shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Engineering and Construction Arbitration Rules & Procedures of JAMS currently in effect unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. Demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to the Agreement and with JAMS. In no event shall the demand for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statutes of limitations. The foregoing agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable under any applicable law in any court having

jurisdiction thereof. The prevailing party in such arbitration shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by it in addition to any other relief which may be awarded, all as determined by the arbitrator. 13. ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES. The Architect shall perform its services under the Agreement as is consistent with the professional skill and care that architects practicing in the same or similar community under the same or similar circumstances ordinarily provide. The Architect does not have control over and shall not be responsible for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, nor for safety precautions and programs in connection with the work at the Project site, since those are solely the contractor’s responsibility. The Architect shall not be responsible for the contractor’s schedules, delays or failure to carry out the work at the Project site in accordance with the construction documents. The Architect shall not have control over or be responsible for the acts or omissions of the contractor, subcontractors, their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the work at the Project site. Evaluations of the Owner’s Project budget, preliminary estimates of Construction Cost and detailed estimates of Construction Cost, if any, prepared by the Architect, represent the Architect’s good faith judgment as a design professional familiar with the construction industry. It is recognized, however, that the Architect has no control over the cost of labor, materials, equipment, the contractor’s methods of determining bid prices, or competitive bidding, market or negotiating conditions. Accordingly, the Architect cannot and does not warrant or represent that bids or negotiated prices will not vary from the Owner’s Project budget or from any estimate of construction cost or evaluation prepared or agreed to by the Architect. 14. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. The Architect shall have no obligations or responsibilities with respect to the discovery, presence, handling, removal or disposal or exposure of persons to hazardous materials of any form at the Project site, including, but not limited to, asbestos, asbestos products, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) or the toxic substances. 15. PRIOR WORK. Notwithstanding the Effective Date of the Agreement, the parties recognize and agree that if any portion of the work and services required under the Agreement has been performed prior to the Effective Date, all such work and services shall nevertheless be governed by the terms and conditions of the Agreement. 16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and/or assigns. Neither party may transfer or assign its interest in the Agreement, the work or

any part thereof without the other party’s prior written consent; provided, however, that upon at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, the Owner may assign the Agreement to a lender making a loan in connection with the Project. 17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The proposal to which these Terms and Conditions are attached, together with all exhibits and documents attached thereto or referenced therein, including these Terms and Conditions, represent the entire and integrated agreement among the parties regarding the services contemplated herein and supersedes all prior negotiations, oral or written. 18. SEVERABILITY. If any part of any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of such provision or any other provision of the Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between, the Agreement and these Terms and Conditions, the Agreement shall prevail. 19. AMENDMENT. The Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument duly executed by both the Owner and the Architect. 20. GOVERNING LAW.
