FOREWORD

Roger K. Lewis, FAIA

Words and how words look matter. “Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS” graphically conveys a telling message. ARCHITECTS, the firm’s professional identity, is set in all capital letters, but not the founding partners’ names. This visually emphatic font hierarchy proclaims that teamwork and collaboration are hallmarks of the design practice of Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS, founded and led by Bill Bonstra, FAIA, and David Haresign, FAIA.

I have known Bill and David, as well as their work, for decades. Bill and I first met 40 years ago when he was an architecture student at the University of Maryland. As a design studio professor, I taught Bill and briefly employed him to do a bit of work for my office. Many years later, I sponsored Bill for advancement to well deserved fellowship in the American Institute of Architects. As longtime professional colleagues and friends, Bill and I have continued to collaborate and, in recent years, to support the University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.

David and I first met in the early 1990s. He had designed a new building for “Carlyle,” a brownfield site being redeveloped in Alexandria, Virginia. David appeared before the Carlyle Design Review Board of which I was a member to present and obtain the board’s approval of his firm’s skillfully conceived building design. But it was after he joined Bill in practice a few years later that I got to know David well, an enduring acquaintanceship I have greatly enjoyed.

In 2011, David retained me as a consultant to help write urban and architectural design guidelines for development of a large corporate headquarters site, one of many important Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS projects. Side-byside collaborative work sessions at Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS’ lively, overflowing Connecticut Avenue office enabled me to experience and appreciate firsthand the nature of the firm Bill and David had spawned. Amicable, interpersonal relationships and a palpable esprit de corps permeated the office atmosphere. With about a dozen employees at the time, the firm had a core team of architecture school graduates from the University of Maryland, University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, Catholic University of America and other nationally prominent universities.

Now employing 35 people, Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS occupies a capacious, open-plan office. Its conference room overlooks D.C.’s vibrantly transformed 14th Street NW corridor whose redevelopment was catalyzed by several Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS’ projects. Yet despite its growth, the firm’s affable atmosphere, esprit de corps and collaborative ethos endure. And I am again familiar with Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS’ digs because Bill and David generously allow me and others to hold occasional meetings in their light-filled conference room.

This book celebrates more than 20 years of Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS’ community-focused practice. It documents the growth and success attributable to the firm’s philosophy and methodological approach. Many beautiful images and descriptive text show that Bill and David’s design aspirations and cooperative work styles, shared by their talented Associate Partners John Edwards and Jack Devilbiss and the studio teams, produce not only award-winning architecture, but also architecture benefiting each project’s surroundings.

Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS serves a variety of populations and communities: urban and suburban, commercial and residential, civic and cultural. Projects range from affordable and market-rate housing to historic restoration, renovation and adaptive reuse. Typologically diverse projects are the essence of Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS’ architectural work and community-building efforts. And desirable community enhancement resulting from their projects is visible in Washington, D.C., urban neighborhoods as well as neighborhoods elsewhere in America's midAtlantic region.

Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS does not exist to implement the aesthetic tastes and wishes of a solo “starchitect” or prima donna designer with a signature style, yet design artistry is an essential goal of the firm. This complements Bill’s and David’s fundamental commitment to create contextually modernist architecture as an agent of positive change beyond each project’s site boundaries.

Realizing these worthy ideals and aspirations entails not only collaboration among Bonstra|Haresign ARCHITECTS’ team members, engineering consultants and the client, but also timely collaboration with building occupants, project neighbors, local organizations, government agencies and elected public officials. Thus Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS works closely with an array of diverse stakeholders whose individual motivations can differ substantially, but whose interests and concerns collectively influence a project’s appearance, performance, cost and community impact.

Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS always initiates project exploration by undertaking thorough analysis while proactively engaging with community members, a process that is first and second nature to Bonstra|Haresign ARCHITECTS. Complementing community outreach are holistic studies of a project’s site and context, including but not limited to neighborhood history, local concerns, zoning and regulatory requirements, transportation patterns and environmental factors. Simultaneously, Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS analyzes and responds to the client’s functional program and budgetary goals, which necessarily inform conceptual ideas leading to financially feasible design options and project implementation.

Yet permeating the Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS team design process and approach are non-quantitative, aesthetic objectives and decisions, the fundamental art of architecture. Artfulness and beauty are what 1st century A.D. architect Vitruvius termed perceptual “delight,” no less necessary than “commodity” and “firmness” for making good architecture. Achieving visual and emotional delight depends on compositional attributes such as scale and proportion, color and texture, symmetry-asymmetry, repetition and rhythm, modularity, layering, transparencyporosity and detailing. These are the design attributes that differentiate architecture from engineering.

Beyond their architecture partnership, Bill and David deserve kudos for many years of voluntary public service. Both generously contribute time, leadership effort and financial support not only for cultural and educational institutions, but also for civic and professional organizations in Washington, including the D.C. Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. In addition to giving invited talks at D.C. neighborhood meetings and local schools, they periodically teach and lecture at leading architecture schools in the Washington Metropolitan Region. This aspect of their activity as partners and citizens of the nation’s capital further explains why the collaborative, collegial spirit of Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS’ office endures and continually leads to the firm’s success.

As you read this book celebrating more than two decades of dedicated collaborative effort, keep in mind the multitude and complexity of disparate variables, requirements and issues architects must address, whatever a project’s size, location, purpose or cost. The consistent quality of Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS’ award-winning work and transformative effect on communities demonstrate the firm’s mastery of the art, science and business of architectural practice.

Architecture transforms communities and inspires people. The power of architecture uplifts and revitalizes the physical environment, along with the economic and social conditions of our world.

Founded in 2000 in Washington, D.C. by Bill Bonstra, FAIA, LEED AP and David Haresign, FAIA, Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS has now grown to a firm of 35 highly qualified, creative architects and designers. Bill and David shape places, buildings, spaces, details and objects that impact how and where we live, work, shop and play. We curate and lead a team – talented, passionate problem-solvers who thrive on finding innovative solutions to enable the rebirth of our cities and demonstrate the benefits of urban neighborhoods. Our team operates in a collegial studio environment — each member participates in all aspects of design, development and implementation. Our culture embraces diversity of perspective, voice and skills. We value and encourage open dialogue on architectural ideas and client solutions is valued and encouraged.

We all live and work in the same neighborhoods where we build our projects. An ethos of community involvement inspires partners and staff to give back through teaching and leadership of professional and volunteer organizations. A fascination with exploring and solving design problems drives us. The nexus of composition, art, engineering and construction intrinsically woven together is the magic of design.

Bonstra | Haresign ARCHITECTS’ collection of award-winning architecture includes a wide range of urban to rural building typologies at a variety of scales – from expansive mixed-use developments and inventive adaptive reuse to high-rises and custom single-family homes, from sleek contemporary structures to meticulous historic restoration and renovation. Our buildings engage with their surroundings and context. We improve quality of life, boost economic vigor and strengthen communities through thoughtful resilient design.

Beginning with a clear understanding of client objectives, each of our projects is shaped by a process of careful analysis and discovery based on its program and location. We develop a design vision through a collaborative, inclusive process and clear communication with clients, consultants and the community. The resulting buildings embrace creative, sustainable strategies responsive to site, function, context and climate.

We believe architecture influences the human condition by making a memorable impression. Good design adds to the richness of a place and human experience, is expressive of its time, fulfills client and community aspirations, and communicates with its surroundings. We are thankful for our clients who share our vision, and our collaborative partners – jurisdictional officials, citizens, consultants and our talented and creative team – for bringing ideas to reality. Our mission is to create memorable work that helps all people live better in our urban environments.

Urban Rear Window

SOLO PIAZZA

A remarkable merging of rectilinear façades with a semicircular curtain wall on this nine-story condominium fosters context and focuses views. The singular footprint also maximizes an infill lot and generates abundant natural light within the 77 units. Changes in depths and materials weave those vertical exteriors together with a neighboring high-rise to the west and much shorter, historic townhouses to the north.

Zoning on the formerly empty lot allowed for a structure taller than its surroundings, which the design team used to accentuate rare distant vistas from a communal roof deck and upper-floor balconies. A concave glass curtain wall rises along the northwest exposure, framing a lushly landscaped courtyard. This circular form also created the opportunity to include a private balcony for every unit along the rear façade, elevating the market value and creating innovative non-rectilinear layouts. The curved façade features integrated trellises for plants to climb, providing needed shade and screening for the sleek glass and metal curtain wall. Balconies boast an urban view including Washington National Cathedral on a distant hill.

Units along the two street-facing façades also include projecting balconies adjoining glass window bays that mitigate the building mass while adding texture and delight. Alternating balcony heights increase occupants’ privacy and sightlines. A recessed corner entry softens these rectilinear walls and engages active city sidewalks. Views from the entry extend through the two-story lobby into the curvaceous, bamboo-lined courtyard. The entire southeast-facing corner element is rendered in glass and topped by an exuberant round trellis shading a communal roof garden.

Cement façade materials in varied hues further blend the building into its surrounding residential community. The team specified deep gold blocks on the lower floors to match the height of the adjacent row-houses and topped them with a ribbon of glass , indicating a change to lighter finishes. Mahogany trellises and balcony handrails underscore the building’s residential use and humanize the otherwise modern industrial material palette.

ALL The nine story, 77-unit condominium features soaring aluminum-framed glass window towers punctuated by balconies with custom aluminum railings topped by mahogany handrails. Those same metal and wood railings link the rectilinear walls with the continuous balconies making up the curved rear façade and overlooking a verdant courtyard.

Split Personality

WOODLEY WARDMAN

Four historic rowhouses standing mere steps from the National Zoo and Rock Creek Park were restored and expanded for today’s urban dweller. Under the watchful eyes of Washington D.C.’s Historic Preservation Review Board, the design team faced the dual challenges of bringing these façades back to their original glory while maximizing the site’s zoning density. These early 20th-century structures now front 16 walk-up units integrated across a courtyard concealing underground parking with a new seven-story apartment tower yielding a total of 42 units.

A sightline study prompted one key strategy of stepping the new structure’s massing away from the street in sync with the townhouses to visually minimize its height. This approach also provided an opportunity to add roof decks where occupants can enjoy surrounding verdant views. Locating a 20-foot-deep landscaped courtyard directly behind the townhouses further offsets the addition and gives residents private, protected space where they can engage with neighbors and nature. The old and new buildings define this communal area, which inserts natural light and ventilation into the center of a deep site.

Specifying brick in varied sizes and hues creates a material connection between the contemporary building and existing townhouses. Extruded window bays and inset brick detailing delineate different units while abstractly referencing historic detailing on the original façades. A crafted masonry exterior simplified building on this tight urban site, as materials could be delivered in small quantities and applied with little need for heavy machinery. Brick also offers the client longevity and low maintenance while giving residents and passersby visually interesting and authentic views.

The constricted, mid-block site also meant floorplans needed to be efficient. Resulting townhouse unit layouts maintained a traditional footprint, while the new tower offers open interior spaces, larger glass expanses and raised or vaulted ceiling details.

ABOVE Desks — arranged in twin rows of back-to-back U-shaped spaces — incorporate upper storage doubling as buffers while a cushion on the lower storage serves as seating for one-on-one conversations. Three enclosed offices relate visually to open work areas through glass walls. RIGHT Walnut panels matching the reception area add warmth to primarily bright white staff workstations.
