Rubie's Building
Melville, NY, United States
This
project consisted of a design for a new 125,000 square foot, 4-story office
building core and shell, as well as finished lobby and common areas including a
conference center, gym, restaurant and bank.
The schematic stage was very exciting while working with the owner of
Rubie’s Costume, who was intrigued with the idea of a more playful and
theatrical design. The job was unique in
the fact that the owner took a direct hands-on interest and approach and pushed
the envelope on various design elements and allowed us to extend our creativity
to new levels. During the course of the
project, the design was modified at various levels (and approval process
changed) to accommodate a 12,000 square foot restaurant and kitchen on two
levels, a gym, conference center and bank as well as tenant fit out.
The
exterior form of the building was developed in keeping functionality and good
design in correlation. We wanted to shade
the south facing offices by stepping back each floor. The custom designed segmented curved curtain
wall system responds to the south side’s angled silhouette. The composite aluminum panels curve along the
side of the building and visually carve into it. The remaining façade has a glazing
system. This design feature encloses the
vertical circulation on both ends of the building. The program consists of tenant fit out spaces
on the top 3 floors with public spaces on the first floor. This allowed for clear glass on the first
floor and tinted glass above, creating the illusion the building is floating
while giving it a lighter feel.
The
front entrances into the main lobby space are on the sides of the building and there
is a separate entrance for the restaurant.
The project included a new 3 story waterfall, a custom designed glass
stair, as well as a rich interplay of finishes.
The main entrance lobby features a curved wall in custom exotic grain
wood veneer with stainless steel reveals.
Overhead is a dramatic floating soffit with indirect lighting, which is
flanked by stone slab walls.
The
project included complete site and civil engineering as well as structural,
MEPFP. Various other specialty consultants
were coordinated by our offices when involving the shell (exterior cladding and
the roof) specifications, HVAC equipment, sprinkler, fire alarm and electrical
service as well as sanitary. The new
35,000 square foot roof was designed with overflow drains.
We
performed services for programming design through bidding as well as construction
administration. At pre-design a
Construction Manager was hired and a budget established. This budget was maintained through
construction via close monitoring of all aspects of design and value engineered
as needed on an item-by-item basis. All
submissions or substitutions were carefully scrutinized for compliance to specs
and installations checked for quality. The
balance of function and unique design brings us to an exceptional end result,
which exceeded our client’s expectations and makes for an extraordinary
building.
