Despite spending her youth as a family member of several world renowned architects, it wasn’t until nearly a decade into her career as a model that Robin Elmslie Osler took her first steps towards what is today her highly successful New York based architecture firm, Elmslie Osler Architect. Through a vast residential portfolio and her work

in rebranding many of today’s most popular retail chains, all colored

by her extensive community based, non-profit work, Elmslie Osler Architect has continued to build up her ancestral legacy of brilliance through design.

Elmslie Osler’s grandfather, Emil Lorch, was the founding dean of the University of Michigan’s School of Architecture. Her great uncle, George Grant Elmslie, was the most commissioned founding architect of the Prairie School of design, secondly only to Frank Lloyd Wright. Her father, who just last year closed his firm at age 88, and brother are award win-

ning architects, and her sister is an accomplished interior designer.

“I was raised in this environment that was very intense in terms of architectural aware-ness,” Elmslie Osler said. “At the time I was young and thinking of becoming an architect, there weren’t any female role models working as architects. Honestly, the idea never really entered my mind. I knew I was interested in art and design, however, so upon graduating from high school, I attended Kenyon College in Ohio to complete a degree in art.”

Two years into her degree, Elmslie Osler to Temple University’s esteemed Tyler School

of Art, pursuing a spe-cialization in metals and small scale sculptures. However, just after fin-ishing a year at Temple University, Elmslie Osler

realized that she still was not entirely fulfilled. After moving to Philadelphia, Elmslie Osler began her modeling career, initially working for famed fashion designer Oscar de la Renta as his house model. A short two years later, she moved to Europe, modeling for designers and photographers such as Helmut Newton.

“I lived in Paris for about three and a half years, before living in Italy for five years,” Elmslie Osler said. “Living in Europe, I was able to travel extensively and I took in a lot of architecture. It was a great part of my heritage and I always held a passion for it. Much of the modeling work I did in Europe was in some of the most incredible and architecturally significant spaces; I only realized why that was when I returned to school.

After a decade of working internationally as a model, Elmslie Osler was ready to move on to the next stage in her career. After an intensive architecture program with Columbia University that had her working with some of New York City’s finest design firms, she at last

returned to finish her undergraduate degree in architecture at the University of Virginia. Upon graduation, she went on to obtain her master’s degree from the School of Architecture at Yale University in 1990.

A stint at a small local firm was quickly followed up by a job in New York City with a new firm founded by two former colleagues of renowned architect Charles Gwathmey. Shortly after leaving this firm, Elmslie Osler was approached to act as the architect for a local townhouse renovation. This would be the unofficial beginnings of her firm, Elmslie Osler Architect.

Upon the completion of the townhouse reno-vation, Elmslie Osler Architect was officially open for business in 1996. One of Elmslie Osler’s first commercial projects was a 4,000 sq. ft. combination design studio / showroom / manufacturing space for world famous fashion and accessory designer Kate Spade. During these early years of the firm, Elmslie Osler additionally taught courses in design

at Yale University, City College in New York and at the Parson’s School of Design.

“We act as a full service firm, from schematic design all the way through construction admin-istration,” Elmslie Osler said. “Additionally, much of our work in the retail and commercial sectors has extended to include rebranding through design.”

Much of Elmslie Osler’s rebranding work began through their projects with women’s apparel brand Anthropologie. The company had been working with the same design firm since their beginnings, and needed a fresh point of view.

“The company was already quite successful, and we have to work within the confines of their brand,” Elmslie Osler said. “We were still able to push their design vocabulary in a more contemporary direction. We did 14 of their stores, and other retailers began to seek us out when they wanted to refresh their image. The biggest difference in the way we work in retail is that we think like architects, and not like designers or merchandisers. We think more spatially and sculpturally, with a deeper analysis of the retail process.”

Central City East in Downtown Los Angeles is colloquially and infamously known as Skid Row. The neighborhood is generally considered to house the largest population of homeless

people in the United States. The per capita income stands around $14,210, with 41.8 percent of the population below the poverty line. It is also the location of one of Elmslie Osler’s most beloved projects, an urban farm-ing project known as The Food Chain.

“The Food Chain is an architectural and planning intervention which aims to eradi-cate hunger in urban areas. Utilizing exist-ing infrastructure, the Food Chain includes a series of vertical ‘food walls’ capable of providing the homeless and economically disadvantaged immediate access to fresh fruits and vegetables. The Food Chain is designed as a green path, comprised of a network of vertical farming walls, for growing produce, and kitchen/education hubs that serve as community centers. Included within the vertical farming walls are storage containers for gardening tools that also serve to display donor names and identify the project. There is also a “mobile kitchen” element in the form of pedicabs retrofitted with food prep surfaces that travel to local neighborhoods showing residents how to prepare meals with food from the walls.

“The walls are made up of a total of 180 growing panels with approximately 4,000 fruit and vegetable plants including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, strawberries, leeks,

For the Hathaways, the construction business is a family affair. In 1990, David Hathaway founded Hathaway Develop-ment Company (HDC) Inc. in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm specialized in building single-family homes and constructed over 500 such homes. The firm also developed lot infrastructures for sale to other single-family home builders.

In 1997, the company evolved to include Hathaway Properties, Inc. to facilitate the tasks of HDC as well as those of related companies. 1997 also marked

HDC’s expansion into multi-housing projects as the firm developed North-ridge subdivision in Macon, Georgia.

Hathaway’s son, Daniel, and Mike Mug-gridge joined the HDC team in 1998 to later become the President of Construction and President of operations. With the addition of the younger Hathaway and Muggridge, HDC began pursuing general contracting work. The company’s specialty remains multi-family home construction but apartments and senior living facilities are their next areas of expertise.

HDC changed its name to Hathaway Construction Company (HCC) in 2009 to reflect its burgeoning status as a top construction company in the southeast region. Its area of operation expanded from Georgia to include Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, truly marking HCC as a company on the rise.

The younger Hathaway attributed the continued success of HCC through its lengthy evolution to the dedication and passion of its employees.

Graceful In Santa Barbara, Calif., blossoms cling to a trellis in an Italian inspired paradise; fountains trickle in a Zen oasis; bright colors spot a desert palette; and wispy grass contrasts with angular stones with modern aesthetic. Th ese diverse masterpieces, state-of-the-art gardens built by Grace Design Associates, Inc., are distinct in style, color, climate, and design.

Projects range from naturalistic to urban, contemporary to traditional, sublime to whimsical, and each is refl ective of owners’ personalities and lifestyles. Much more than simple outdoor space, the gardens are carefully assimilated with buildings, the landscape, and the larger community.

“We’re working to pull together a very well integrated project,” Margaret Grace, Founder and Principal at Grace

Design Associates, said. “Something that distinguishes us is that we work very closely with our clients inside of realizing their dream garden. It doesn’t have to do with what style I have at my home; it’s all about what they want.”

This philosophy of customization produces one-of-a-kind gardens, which are carefully tailored to the owner, architecture, site and environment, and are executed with the values of Old World craftsmanship.

Before settling in California, Grace created her own gardens in Spain, Australia, and New Zealand. An avid traveler, she continues to trot the globe as a perpetual student of the world’s gardens today, bringing innovative ideas and a sophisticated design sense to her work. But over two decades ago, the gardener founded her own business in Santa Barbara, one of the nation’s

richest horticultural areas.“It’s extraordinary here in Santa

Barbara,” Grace said. “It’s a beautiful place to be, and there is great interest in outdoor living.”

Now a licensed landscape designer and landscape contractor, Grace works in a variety of garden styles including modern, naturalistic, formal, and English country. Th e design fi rm serves high-end clients, mostly working with residential homes in the $2 million to $15 million-price range, but also does some commercial work for California wineries and other businesses. While most of the gardens are located around Santa Barbara, Grace and a team of ten employees also serve clients throughout the western United States, particularly in California, New Mexico, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington.

Beth Reader and Chuck Swartz founded Reader & Swartz Archi-tects in 1990 in the picturesque Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Their projects have involved many of the older homes in the area including their own home which

was originally built in 1968. “We hated it at first sight,” Swartz said. “It was

a track house at the top of a hill in Winchester.” However, the building’s allure was its majestic view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the valley below. “We lived in it for four years while we plotted its demise,” he said.

Originally, the house had a 4/12 gable roof, a boxy floor plan and a minimal number of small windows, making it difficult to take in the views afforded by the location. The second floor of the home cantilevered two feet past the first floor. “There were six foot eight inch ceilings in many rooms of the house,” Swartz said.

Their redesign opened up the house, bring-ing in a flood of light and taking advantage of the views of the mountains to the east. “In the end we were trying to make an open, modern building that looked out over the mountain, the town and the valley,” he said.

The couple wanted to use the skeleton of the house as they reworked the design. The outline of the old 4/12 gable roof, for example, is expressed on the underside of the new scis-

sor trusses, and also in the new gable end glazing. The existing studs on the gable ends were kept and stripped to create a structure to support the new library shelves. “We turned them into something useful,” Swartz said. The shelves are accessed on one side of the gable by an alternating tread staircase, and, on the other side, by a 12-foot high, oak rolling ladder salvaged from an old telephone building. “My father had worked at the telephone company,” Swartz said. “The ladder was used for the racks of floor-to-ceiling equipment in the old building.”

The design gives the home a unique feature. “You can walk on top of the refrigerator to get books,” he said, noting that the large refrigerator

is housed in an attractive red plywood cabinet. The redesign flipped the living and sleep-

ing levels of the house. Reader and Swartz live on the top floor of the 2,500 sq. ft. home. “It’s about the average size of a house in the United States,” Swartz said, also noting that the couple added an addition on the back of the house that includes a carport, a master bedroom on the first floor and a living space on the second floor.

The new 16 foot deep, three-story, inverted shed-roof addition, facing the mountain, is made of glass, exposed structural steel and cedar. “There is steel that angles out of the back of the house,” Swartz said. “We were working

with that. We needed steel structurally since we had so much glass so we decided to express it in the design.”

The couple’s home was just one of their many innovative renovations in the area. Their firm completed another renovation on Songbird Lane in Frederick County, Virginia. The plain looking farmhouse was built in the 1970s. “It

was a two-story nondescript vinyl baby blue box,” Swartz said. “Our clients considered tear-ing it down but they felt like they should use the resources instead of scrapping it.”

The house had one good feature. It sat on the right place on its site, a spot surrounded by trees. In their design, Reader and Swartz used the two-story core of the farmhouse and the garage in the design but created a new roofline and added two wings to the building. “We wanted to maximize the sun path to the south,” he said. “The kitchen was geographically in the middle of the house. We took a section of the kitchen and made it open to upstairs.”

Cedar tree trunks were used to hold up the columns in the kitchen. The cabinets in the kitchen extend to the upstairs. The opening in the room connects it to the children’s areas above and adds daylight to the center of the house.

Building was done with an eye toward the environment. “The materials were chosen for sustainability,” Swartz said. “For example, the boulder in the living room, placed as a sculptural object, was unearthed during an excavation.”

The passive solar design saturates the home with daylight. The exterior of the building is skinned in cedar siding, arranged in horizontal and vertical patterns and punctuated by art pan-els that range in size and are randomly placed. “We put the art in dedicated areas,” he said. “It’s definitely an interesting skin on the outside.”

The home also includes high efficiency HVAC, including ground-loop geothermal, as well as radiant floor tubing and on-demand tank-less

domestic hot water. Other environmental features include high performance windows and glazing, high efficiency appliances, 100 percent recycled gypsum wallboard and local sourcing such as local cherry and maple interior hardwood flooring, harvested observing the standards of Sustainable Forestry Management.

Reader and Swartz have had some rather unique projects such as Loft Upon Cork in the Shenandoah Valley, which entailed the renova-tion of, and a small addition to, a vernacular Victorian house built in the late 1800s. Originally four apartments, the house is now converted into two with the owner living in the second floor loft apartment. “When he moved from New York, he had books and art,” Swartz said. “We took the apartment and turned it into a salon and private museum.”

The kitchen, while modern, pays homage to the homeowner’s childhood kitchen in Liverpool in that it contains a large table in the middle that works as a work/prep area

as well as an area where the family can eat. In addition to the kitchen, bath and bedroom, the project houses a garden library overlooking a Karesansui rock garden, a windowless secret library and a barrel-vaulted main salon.

Unique features include a changeable wooden apparatus called a Wundercamera in the main salon that holds a variety of items such as a collection of art objects and antique scientific equipment, and an art deco handcrafted Murano glass chandelier in the windowless library.

The building, along with an adjacent house also owned by the client, encloses an inten-sively landscaped, formal garden. Because the building is situated in a historic district, the street front facade was left unchanged. The only change along the alley facade was the addition of the second floor, windowless library, clad in a pop art, Sol LeWitt-inspired lap siding composition.

The team used more artistic license with the courtyard facades, facing a private garden. The

courtyard elevations are a juxtaposition of existing pieces, sympathetic renovations and contrasting modern insertions.

“There was a lot of collaboration with the client and the builder who is an amazing craftsman,” Swartz said. “We do a lot of listening to our clients. We try to find the spark or delight in what the client has said and then push it for all its worth.” ALT

Sustainability has always been an important factor in architecture, for the purposes of structural integ-rity, efficiency and longevity. But only in the past few decades have we seen technology evolve to the point where houses and entire business complexes can exist entirely off the grid. For Matthew Millan and his eponymous architectural firm, this responsible mindset is only a mere step in the right direction.“The green movement is in no way a fad,” said Millan.

“The federal and state governments are much more behind the idea than ever before. It is not a mindset that is politically oriented or subject to a political or cultural pendulum.”

Before founding Matthew Millan Architects in 1995, Millan ran the design department of a company that specialized in the preservation, salvaging and reuse of timber frames from old barns, houses, churches,

mills and other similar structures with timber roofing. His expertise in dealing with antique timber framing methods and the construction and deconstruction processes of older buildings has helped to establish his mindset of “architecture as a response to the environ-ment you’re designing your buildings for,” as he put it. “I was brought up looking at the design of structures

as both a response to natural forces and to the preexist-ing building context. These ideals have been captured in the public attention by the green movement, but they’ve been around for quite a bit longer.”

Matthew Millan Architects recently completed a project that involved refitting an old pasta factory that was converted into a Class A office building. “This project was a combination of challenge and

opportunity. The existing building was ideal for sus-tainable offices. The structure was very narrow, with

ruin, part sleek modernism and part funky chic, this complete

rehabilitation combines multiple design influences into a fresh

approach that combines gritty texture, glassy transparency and

local art. Opening up the physical volumes of the existing structure

created visual connections that remove the traditional limitations of long narrow, multi-floor stores.

Changes of level and shifting floor plates draw the visitor through

the store, with each vantage point inviting one deeper into the spaces.
