From the added breadth and depth of our combined resources and

access to deeper pools of talent to the creative spark that comes from

collaboration and the exchange of bold ideas, the partnership brings

clients tangible, far-reaching benefits. As a team, we now have the

We believe that great design is an essential part of what our clients

seek and is critical to shaping high-performing built assets and

thriving, sustainable places. ARCADIS’ ambition is to build the most

PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN DESIGN SM

Performance-Driven DesignSM (PDD) is a strategy to improve the value of the built environment. By drawing on ample evidence about the social, economic, and environmental impact of design, PDD applies the greatest available intelligence to create compelling design with measurable benefits.

PDD begins with the client’s goals as opportunities to deliver additional value. For example, if a client seeks to lower operating costs (economic value), good daylight and fresh air can save electrical costs while reducing energy (environmental value) and creating a healthy environment for people (social value).

The Performance Wheel is a tool to visualize how any starting point can lead to greater benefits across a spectrum of multiple values. PDD seeks the point of convergence.

Addison CircleAddison, Texas

Respecting the town’s moratorium on

garden-style apartments, CallisonRTKL

created a high-density urban district

that supports 3,500 residential units

and up to 4,000,000 SF of office, hotel

and retail space. More importantly,

a pedestrian-friendly street grid, a

series of public parks and a landmark

sculpture define an outdoor focus for

the development.

Next to a traffic-calming rotary, three

mid-rise buildings surround structured

parking and embrace a public park

with trees preserved during design

and construction. A public esplanade

and adjacent retail, residential and

office structures extend toward the

Dallas North Tollway to establish a

highly visible commercial presence.

This award-winning district is a

groundbreaking example of a public-

private partnership that has produced

a sustainable alternative to suburban

sprawl.

In the early 1990s, the town of Addison, Texas partnered with CallisonRTKL to identify a unique personality for the Dallas suburb. The result was the transformation of an 80-acre site into a hub of community living for Addison’s residents.

The Domain redefines Austin’s urban

lifestyle by offering abundant choices

for living, working and entertainment in

a pedestrian-focused neighborhood. To

ensure around-the-clock activity, RTKL’s

designed the residential portions of

the project to appeal to a variety of age

groups and price points.

Of the six residential buildings, three

are located above first-floor retail

and three comprise townhomes and

single-story units. Varying in size

and style, the building designs not

only celebrate Austin’s traditional

Texas Hill Country architecture, but

also blend contemporary urban

style with sustainable strategies.

Native limestone, brick, metal panels

and plaster clad the exteriors while

varying roof lines contribute to a

village scale and image. Indigenous

oak trees and covered arcades offer

shade to shoppers and residents,

while a community pool and workout

center provide additional recreation

amenities. The project conforms

to Austin Energy’s Green Building

Program standards and is a part of the

S.M.A.R.T HousingTM initiative. The

success of the Domain has prompted

a second phase of development,

Domain Crossing, which includes an

additional 350,000 SF of retail space,

400 apartment units, and multiple

entertainment attractions.

A winner in the 2008 Pillars of the Industry Awards for Best Mixed-Use Community, The Domain is a vibrant open-air community boasting more than 700,000 SF of high-end retail, 75,000 SF of office space, and 390 residential units.


Sustainability is a unifying thread

Frisco Station master plan. The park’s

landscape will encompass trails,

gardens, water features and urban

plazas, and will serve as a natural

drainage site for the development’s

stormwater runoff, reducing traditional

infrastructure needs. A number of

LEED certified buildings are planned,

and an emphasis on strong pedestrian

connections within a grid of densely

developed blocks will reduce the

need for automobiles—a strategy

made possible by a change in zoning

code that permits flexibility in future

development. When complete, Frisco

Victory Park Retail & Mixed-Use Dallas, Texas

CallisonRTKL’s team sought to create a

retail master plan to revive retail in the

district as well as retail tenant design

criteria for the Victory Park district

and the architectural design for Block

D. As a part of that effort, the team

assessed the current retail environment

and made recommendations on

improving a struggling retail market

by creating a district marked by the

distinct personalities of each of the

retail tenants. In addition, CallisonRTKL

analyzed the site’s opportunities and

contraints and sought to find solutions

for traffic and bicycle circulation,

parking, and pedestrian flow.

Realizing and championing the

importance of brand and identity, the

CallisonRTKL team recommended

improvements to the visual and

pedestrian connectivity between

Victory Park Lane and the American

Airlines Center, which would encourage

the seamless flow of visitors and

users across Olive Street, ensuring the

Victory Park district is perceived as a

single, coherent “place.”

The goal of the Victory Park development is to create an inviting, high-functioning, vital, sustainable, and distinct neighborhood and to find unique and dynamic ways to connect to the greater city of Dallas.

Composed of six expansive parks,

each with their own unique offerings

and architectural character, the wildly

popular residential community includes

a school, sporting club, hotel, shopping

mall, cultural hub, waterfront outlets,

lagoon, farm and market. In conjunction

with ensuring that residents have

everything they need at their fingertips,

one of the client’s major goals was to

reduce the presence of vehicles and,

thus, pollution on-site. The resulting

master plan dedicates only 12% of

land to a looped network of roads that

connect—but avoid disturbing—each

of the neighborhood parks and lead to

underground parking facilities. A raised

promenade—the “corniche”—allows for

walkers, cyclists and golf carts to move

in between.

Located in northeastern Cairo, iCITY is a residential component of the Egyptian government’s master planning effort to consolidate the capital city’s public sector entities within a new, vibrant urban district. In conjunction with DMA, a well-known and forward thinking design firm, CallisonRTKL provided master planning, schematic and landscape design services, as well as architectural services for iCITY’s mixed-use components.
