Circuit City Distribution Facility First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.

CHA was responsible for the site design and permitting phases for a 1 million SF warehouse distribution and service center facility that was designed to meet the needs of Circuit City. The project is located in the I-84 and 81 transportation corridor in northeastern Pennsylvania and is part of a multi-lot industrial park that CHA has been the design engineer for three parcels. This project required the completion of topographic and property line surveys, subdivision mapping, the balancing of cut and fills over uneven terrain and the design of an access road and landscaping package to mitigate noise and light impacts to an adjacent seasonal RV Park. The most critical challenge was the development of the storm water management design and NPDES permit documents which required both County and State approvals as well as public hearings and professional support to assist our client in an extensive appeals challenge to the permit. The design-build project was completed with CHA working directly with the construction manager in developing bid packages and addressing field conditions. CHA also provided construction layout services for foundation design elements.

Lidl Grocery Store Design Lidl

CHA has worked with Lidl on numerous sites across Metro Atlanta to help assess the feasibility of developing the site including preparing a conceptual site plan or Test Fit, reviewing local ordinances to determine if the site is fully entitled, and preparing a preliminary Opinion of Probable Cost. Once they have approved the site, CHA initiates full Due Diligence and then transitions into full design and permitting. CHA also assists Lidl with the Bidding process including attending the pre-bid meeting to review plans with the contractors and answer questions.

During construction, CHA assists with Contractor Requests for Information (RFI), construction observations to assess the progress of the work, prepare a punchlist and provide record drawings.

CHA Architecture has also been involved in the design of new stores for the expanding grocery store chain. Tasks have involved renderings in new locations, three dimensional fly thru visualization as well as the site adaption of a prototype design. The stores vary in size from smaller more urban settings to larger stores in the 30,000 SF range. The coordination of owner supplied items has been integral to the design process and has allowed for a tight, well executed complete design package. #

Location: Yarmouth, ME Services: Architecture Interior Design

International Headquarters Cole Haan

This international headquarters for a footwear and accessories company, then a subsidiary of Nike, is sited on a sloping property. CHA Architecture turned the sloping site into an asset by nestling the building into the side of the hill. The design adapts a graceful international vocabulary.

The sculptural qualities of woven, braided, and hand-stitched leather goods inspired the use of articulated joints throughout the building, the ceiling of the boardroom, and the brick-and-maple piers in the lobby.

The colors and sensuous, deep textures of leather and the fabrics in Cole Haan’s clothing line are echoed in the green granite of the lobby flooring and the variegated paint finishes.

Cole Haan’s concern for its employees’ winter state of mind suggested skylights, pond reflections, and deep fenestration that pull light into work areas.

As you move from level to level, galleries and glass walls let you see where you’ve been, and let you participate in the outdoors. #

Delorme Mapping Company Delorme Mapping Company

The visibility of DeLorme’s 41‑ft diameter globe—from the highway, from the parking lot, from the entrance to the Map Store, and from employees’ areas— drove the design of this lobby.

The glazed walls, balconies, interior windows, and open tile floor ensure visibility from every angle and level, creating the atmosphere of a city square.

The rotating DeLorme Globe, which represents the earth as seen from space, is a local tourist attraction. The cantilevered 41-foot diameter aluminum structure is covered with 792 three-dimensional map panels at a scale of 1 to 1 million, one inch representing 16 miles. The interior photo on the left was taken before the panels were installed.
