CallisonRTKL – The Wullcomb

Designed with people at its heart, The Wullcomb’s resident amenities help foster a strong sense of community. The scheme comprises of 5,7,10 and 12 storey buildings, and also provides 8,072 SF (750 SM) of commercial floor space, 297 residential units and car parking. Putting people at the heart of the project and understanding the importance of operational efficiency and management protocols were embedded from the outset. CallisonRTKL worked with Long Harbour to deeply understand who will be dwelling in the space and apply this knowledge and a rigorous design process to deliver optimum solutions – curating beautiful and timeless spaces with enduring value and appeal. CallisonRTKL also developed bespoke branded interior spaces and design elements to enhance the building’s identity and sense of place. By understanding the resident journey, through the project to the apartment layouts, every element of the organisation of the building was aligned to be customer-facing. Resident amenities include a private roof terrace, resident’s kitchen and dining, communal workspace, a multi-purpose screening and games room, and cycle storage.

CallisonRTKL – Northwestern Medicine Cancer Center Warrenville

After several successful projects with Central DuPage Hospital, CallisonRTKL was brought in again to design the institution’s 48,000-SF freestanding cancer and diagnostic imaging centre. The critical success factor for this facility’s design is the focus on the comfort, dignity and safety of patients. To achieve this, the design team incorporated natural light, private treatment areas and healing gardens throughout the space. Each of these elements has a positive impact on the patient’s quality of care, improving the facility’s overall performance.

CallisonRTKL – Swedish Medical Group MS Center

When Swedish decided to build a new multiple sclerosis clinic, the goal was to create a place where people with MS could achieve maximum wellness. From a design perspective, this meant utilizing evidence-based design in coordination with research on the common physical conditions and effects of the built environment. To achieve this, the Multiple Sclerosis Center incorporates specific finishes and design features that enable patients to engage the space more easily. The “Living Wall” is a testament to this design approach, ensuring intuitive wayfinding as well as contributing to wellbeing and improved indoor air quality.
CallisonRTKL – JW Marriott Mexico City

The 5-star JW Marriott Mexico City, located in the upscale Polanco district of Mexico’s capital, underwent a comprehensive renovation to the property. Design began in 2011 for renovations that included all 283 guestrooms, suites and corridors. Public areas included the transformation of the current lobby into a new JW Marriott signature Interactive Lobby, a repositioning of the three-meal restaurant, and an expansion to the fitness centre and amenity spa. Phase II of the project included the demolition of existing fifth-floor loft apartments to create a new state-of-the-art junior ballroom and pre-function area and expand current meeting space areas. CallisonRTKL teamed with colleagues in the Mexico City office to combine the practice’s global hospitality expertise with on-the-ground architectural support.
CallisonRTKL – The Manor at Plantation

A multi-family residential project in Plantation, FL, The Manor in Plantation differentiates itself in the market by evoking southern hospitality and rustic charm updated with the latest conveniences and comforts of urban apartment living. The name itself inspired visions of relaxing on a portico in the quiet of summer evenings. Rustic farm structures and antique plantation furnishings provided imagery for creating a startling mix of frayed old and crisply new. The Manor in Plantation’s target market is urban professionals who are drawn to a forward fusion of breezy ideas that are grounded in comfort. They will find this a good place to call home.

CallisonRTKL – Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa

Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa blend crisp, modern features with natural elements, textures and colours drawn from the hotel’s picturesque gulf-front surroundings. Representing a significant extension of the client’s brand in Florida, the 450-key Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa includes one of the largest ballrooms in the market and 22,000 square feet of banquet and meeting facilities. Guests are welcomed by an expansive breezeway that serves as an outdoor living room with stunning views of the gulf. Inside, the soaring volume of the hotel lobby features multiple seating areas anchored by area rugs patterned with abstracted sea life motifs. The sinuous ceiling soffit directs guests to a welcoming bar serving wine, spirits and speciality coffee. Varied lounge seating groupings feature casually elegant upholstery in saturated accent colours, which contrast with a subdued palette of architectural finishes in crisp white, driftwood greys and sandy beiges. Millwork “fence” elements in the lobby recall the light and shadow patterns cast by beach dune fences, a motif referenced in art and design elements throughout. The hotel offers both guest rooms and suites, each one outfitted with white and oak wood tones and silvery metals accented with tropical modern fabrics and beach-inspired artwork. Additional spaces, including a restaurant with a display kitchen and private dining, a large pool deck featuring a bar and grill, outdoor dining areas and a spa provide complimentary amenities that turn a well-appointed stay into a memorable experience for guests. The overall package delivers a sophisticated, casual vibe and an aesthetic that epitomizes relaxed elegance and avoids pretentiousness in any form.
CallisonRTKL – William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital

This university system decides to abandon plans for a hospital expansion and start from scratch. UT Southwestern Medical Center, one of the country’s leading academic medical centres, knew they needed room to grow. In 2007, UTSW purchased St. Paul’s University Hospital with plans to increase its size. After initially beginning as a hospital expansion project, the CallisonRTKL and UTSW team quickly realized that the idea of building a replacement hospital on a nearby 34-acre site was a much better option. The new facility will not only cost the same as expanding the old hospital, but the state-of-the-art design will also allow for future expansion of the hospital’s clinical inpatient facility. The 1.3 million SF hospital will include 464 beds, 24 operating rooms, a 40-bed emergency department, a helicopter pad and 12 caths/interventional labs. The new design provides a great foundation for this high-profile academic hospital, allowing them to better serve the needs of its patients.
CallisonRTKL – The Manor at Flagler Village

South Florida’s interpretation of a Caribbean colonial seaside inspired these interiors that are influenced by breezy beach life and casual, sexy chic. The vision of settling South Florida that Henry Flagler pioneered set the tone for this development in an emerging neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale. South Florida’s interpretation of a Caribbean colonial seaside inspired these interiors that are influenced by breezy beach life and casual, sexy chic.

The design focus is on the use of natural materials and providing positive distractions from patient health challenges.
CallisonRTKL – Columbia Center Sky Lobby

A goal of the recent Sky Lobby renovation was to design a space that would create an elevated and one-of-a-kind experience for tenants. Upon arriving at the Sky Lobby on the 40th floor, tenants are greeted by natural lighting that fills the space and an airy ambience that creates the presence of being up in the sky. By softening the architecture through materiality, lighting, and furniture, our design features spaces that are open and dynamic to complement the breathtaking views seen from the Sky Lobby. In addition, the Sky Lobby was mainly recognized as a transfer floor for tenants and a common amenity space that could be utilized throughout the day. The design team wanted to create a space that provided adaptability and flexibility to engage the multitude of purposes that the Sky Lobby serves. In the approach, the team focused on three drivers: Conference, Assembly, and Lounge. Each driver was designed to serve its own purpose individually but also can be adjusted to seamlessly flow between each other. Local artisanal and customized pieces were handpicked for the Sky Lobby to offer a boutique hospitality experience and honour the tower’s Pacific Northwest roots.
CallisonRTKL – The Ridge

CallisonRTKL led the $4.9 million redesign for the 146-key Geneva Ridge Resort in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, giving it fresh appeal for visitors new and old.

CallisonRTKL – Argo Apartments

CallisonRTKL delivered the planning and interior design for the entrance lobby and amenity space on the lower two floors of the development. The studio drew inspiration from Canning Town’s rich heritage; celebrating its past by layering industrial-style finishes and materials with textures and colours to create atmosphere and warmth, and contemporary furnishings to finish. The overall regeneration programme will see a supermarket, shops, leisure and community facilities come together to make this an exciting new place to live.
CallisonRTKL – Swedish Medical Group South Lake Union Clinic

A health clinic becomes a patient favourite through intuitive, flexible design. CallisonRTKL designed this clinic with the goal of offering the best primary care experience for workers and residents in an urban neighbourhood. Based on the International Council of Quality Care parameters for care team effectiveness, the clinic is organized into two care team pods and a “minute clinic,” with a separate waiting lounge serving walk-in patients. A concierge greets arriving patients, and the intuitive design guides them to the simple check-in process, and finally to an exam room designed for provider effectiveness and patient family comfort.
CallisonRTKL – Hilton Garden Inn New York / Times Square Central

CallisonRTKL‘s efficient space planning achieves a maximum room count despite space constraints. In a city often known for its small spaces, efficient planning is essential in achieving maximum impact. For Hilton Garden Inn’s Times Square Central location, CallisonRTKL achieved a maximum room count through meticulous design in the “sliver” high-rise tower. The 286-room hotel features a European-style interior design scheme and utilizes a modular kit of parts to address the varying shapes and sizes of the guestrooms. The mixed-use building also has a street-level hotel entry, three floors of retail, and a fourth-floor hotel lobby and amenity area.

CallisonRTKL – Pierhouse at Channelside

CallisonRTKL was commissioned to design all public space interiors of this rental community at the heart of a revitalized Tampa neighbourhood.

CallisonRTKL was commissioned to design all public space interiors of this rental community at the heart of a revitalized Tampa neighbourhood, including the lobby and leasing office, private offices, a conference room, employee back-of-house areas, public corridors, elevator lobbies, a fitness facility, an outdoor pool deck, and a bi-level resident club lounge that doubles as a private dining room. Benefitting from a precise vision and constant dialogue with the client, the final modern, the edgy design speaks to the target demographic of young, artistic urbanites.
CallisonRTKL – Swedish Medical Center Cherry Hill Campus
