KoningEizenbergArchitecture

Koning Eizenberg was established in 1981 by Hank Koning FAIA, FRAIA,LEED, AP and Julie Eizenberg, AIA, with Brian Lane AIA, LEED, AP assuming a managing principal role in 2003. The roots of this influential practice are in affordable housing and community oriented projects. The discipline of tight budgets and hands on pragmatism established the character of the firm. Projects vary in scale from small additions to medium scale projects ($60-$70m and growing), and includes master planning, program development and work across a gamut of building types. This firm appeals to clients and institutions interested in optimizing and rethinking opportunities through a collaborative working-style rather than accepting the status quo. Today, Koning Eizenberg is well known, with over seventy design awards, extensive publication and individual recognition of the principals. The principals leverage this credibility to influence policy, as well as to craft buildings that, by example, raise expectations for design in the public realm.

We favor sustainable design strategies that highlight outside spaces and frame activities, people, and the landscape. In all projects we look for opportunities that informally encourage social interaction and support community—as is the case for our Children’s Institute International and Hancock Lofts housing project which transitions gracefully from boulevard to hillside neighborhood.  As you will see from these projects, we gravitate to communities where there is opportunity to work with, or create, informal urban space. Working together we can craft buildings that highlight community, open space and sustainable values.

We offer extensive programming management and technical experience, which translates into an expeditious working style anchored in strong listening and communication skills and a belief in sharing rather than controlling knowledge. We have successfully developed programs and masterplans for private sector and city clients involving housing, retail, office, recreational, and learning environments. Technical ability in the housing sector is a core strength of our office as evidenced by the innovative and award winning residential projects featured over the following pages. We have designed and/or built over 2,500 units of housing and feel well qualif ied to assist our clients in the delivery of highly functional environments.

As longterm advocates of sustainability we continue to deliver groundbreaking LEED accredited projects like the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh (largest LEED Silver Museum in the US upon completion), Virginia Avenue Park (the first LEED Silver park to be completed in the US), and the award winning Century Building and Bike Center (expected LEED Gold in Pittsburgh). The Children’s Institute Westlake Campus in Los Angeles is projected to obtain LEED Silver certif ication in early 2011. We have six LEED certif ied architects on staff and while not all of our projects pursue LEED certification, we design with sustain-ability in mind.

Waterloo Apartments

Working with a non-profit housing developer, the design for the

Waterloo Affordable Apartments navigates a multitude of funding

source requirements including HUD, the Los Angeles Community

Design Commission, and the Los Angeles Housing Department.

Simultaneously we negotiated a public review process that achieved

a 100% density bonus. Designed through a series of community

meetings with neighbors concerned about density and traffic, this

18-unit project focuses on a central courtyard/gathering spot for

residents, including disabled veterans, seniors, and individuals HIV.

The community preference for the craftsman style surmounted fear

about development and became an inspiration for design.

5th Street Housing

This affordable housing project includes a variety of unit types. A

highly efficient and cost-effective arrangement of two-bedroom

townhouses resides at ground level, with generous private yards

that leverage mandatory oversized setbacks. Underground parking

necessitates elevators, which in turn grants disabled access to all floors.

All units are cross-ventilated for energy efficiency.

Economy, safety, cleanliness, and community inform the design of

these affordable housing units. Trees anchor a large courtyard, a

social space that includes a laundry and barbeque pits. The zig-

zagging center building, clad in wood battens with vines defines

the cour t yard in a casual way. Cross-ventilation precludes air

conditioning, and recycled building materials include the composite

wood used to face balcony balustrades.

Abbey Apartments

This oddly shaped site provides affordable housing for homeless and

mentally ill individuals. Program features include: efficiency units,

lounges, shared kitchens, and space for support services. A central

outdoor social space establishes a sense of community for “f irst

step off the street” residents. Passive shading, cross ventilation, and

exterior circulation reduce energy use. The ground floor activates the

sidewalk with a lobby, social services offices and conference spaces.

The entry is articulated by a large vertical opening featuring an

angled corner as if pulling a curtain aside and welcoming guests. KEA

designed and fabricated a small sculpture known as the “asterisk” that

is placed above the opening. It casts a playful shadow and represents

an iconic welcoming “porch” light above. Window graphics add

accent color, character, and ornament to lighten up the urban scene

of “skid row.”

It was one of Williams’ f irst residential/community projects. The

project will follow Secretary of Interiors Standards and Guidelines

for Rehabilitation. Working with Historic Resources Group and Los

Angeles Planning Department Office of Historic Resources, careful

consideration is being given to the scale, materials, and features of

the building renovation and addition to retain and enhance its his-

toric character and relationship to the neighborhood. The program

includes: 49 units (with kitchens and baths) of permanent, supportive

housing for low-income individuals, a courtyard, and roof garden.

The ground f loor has of f ice space for community groups and a

Landmark at Santa Monica and La Brea

The City of West Hollywood solicited proposals from developer/archi-

at the Eastern gateway to the city. One of two finalists, this proposal

organized two residential towers over retail and green screened

public courtyards. Restaurants and community spaces anchor the

North end while the “gateway” corner supports major retail and is

highlighted by an array of glowing projecting frames. The frames

would be powered by photoluminescent material that absorbs light

during the day and converts to light energy at night.

Children’s Institute Inc.

This 47,000 square foot project entails the adaptive reuse and creative

rehabilitation of two light-industrial warehouse buildings in a gritty

inner-city Los Angeles neighborhood. On a tight budget, the design

deinstitutionalizes the sensitive social functions of the organization,

through a combination of innovative organizational planning and

the limited insertion of simple but creative new architectural systems

within the renovated existing building shell. The program includes

a pre-school, individual therapy rooms, administrative offices, and

large multipurpose spaces for community programs. The completed

project will provide much needed community and family services to

this high-risk neighborhood and will serve as the regional operational

headquarters for this rapidly growing non-profit organization.

Abbot Kinney Mixed Use

Abbot Lof ts is a true mixed-use project designed to embrace

the gateway nature of this important site. The ground level is

programmed with small spaces (approximately 1,000-1,500 sq. ft.

each) that draw retail interest to the southern portion of this eclectic

street and in so doing generate pedestrian activity to this end of

Abbot Kinney. The residential loft units, located on the project ’s

upper f loors, will be separated from the retail space. Individual

units will be designed to maximize flexible living by incorporating

high ceilings, natural light and a variety of unique interior spaces. A

combination of private and shared open space will be provided for

residents on the podium level. The project provides two affordable

units at the very low income level and 20 market rate apartments.

The Village

Koning Eizenberg was one of three f irms collaborating on the

masterplan and design of The Village in Santa Monica’s Civic Center.

The project includes market rate and affordable housing, artists’

housing, retail, infrastructure, and public open space. Planning

strategies addressed traf f ic, density, height, and open space to

converge into an innovative solution revolving around a “living

street.” The linear conf iguration organizes housing types into

distinct neighborhoods, taking advantage of the irregular sloped

site. The Village transforms the original Civic Center concept into a

more neighborly and sustainably responsive masterplan, bridging

between the grain of the adjacent residential neighborhood and the

larger scale of the Civic Center buildings. The project is slated for a

LEED Silver rating.

Plummer Park: West Hollywood Community Center

The city originally proposed to rejuvenate its existing community

center at Plummer Park for senior use, while adding a separate

teen facility nearby. However, community discussions favored the

creation of a single inter-generational facility in the original building,

which would allow more f lexible programming while promoting

inclusivity. The faux Spanish roof, an existing shortcoming, became

the springboard for a new identity that stretched and re-cladded the

rigid gables into a seemingly free-form canopy that extends some

320 feet, sheltering the whole facility. The building plan is a scribble

of loosely organized courtyards, entries and key spaces that create

a deliberate informality. Shaded courtyards, arbors, and tinted glass

reduce heat gain while skylights provide daylighting. The parking

lot features light-colored, permeable paving and a tree canopy to

reduce the heat island effect.

lab as well as fields, basketball courts, play equipment, and an inter-

active fountain outside. Virginia Avenue Park was the first park to

be certified LEED silver in the country as achieved by onsite water

management, adaptive reuse of buildings, daylighting, and sustain-

able materials.

P.S. #1 provides a successful example of small school philosophy—

the campus comprises infill lots on either side of an alley, linked by a

second level bridge that has become a favorite playspace parlaying

a liability into an asset. The architecture promotes sustainability,

curiosity, and implicit learning: building roofs are hyperbolic parab-

oloids delineated by exposed open web joists, allowing students

to trace how a column holds up a beam and a beam a roof. Texture

is also celebrated and classrooms daylit and cross-ventilated. Each

room also has adjacent outdoor space to meaningfully reinforce

the value of the outdoor environment.

bathrooms, storage, kitchen, and classroom and office space. The

folded masonry walls dampen interior sound reverberation and also

strengthen the 8-inch block wall sufficiently to avoid the addition
