DOWNTOWN NEWS
The 17th Street Farmers’ Market opensApril 22 for the 2009 season with a newschedule and a new manager. After an ex-tensive search for just the rightcandidate, George Bolos has re-located to Richmond from Penn-sylvania where he was heavilyinvolved in working in the com-munity. “Our roots are here, andwe decided to relocate to pro-vide our kids with a Virginia education. Thiswas a good fit,” says Bolos. Plans for thisyear include extended operating hours,new interactive programs, more cookingdemonstrations, and plenty of festivals.“The residents of the City of Richmond ex-pect to have multiple programs, for thesake of commerce and entertainment.”
One of the pilot programs this year willfocus on vendor workshops where partici-pants join in on Wednesday afternoons tolearn crafts or watch demonstrations ofhow some of the actual products are made.A Taste of the Market will take place onThursdays and give passersby a chance to
sample freshly prepared foods. On Fridaysthe market will host Red, White & Brew.Bolos adds, “Virginia is well-known for its
wines and Richmond has thelargest cluster of micro-brew-eries in the state. We want toshowcase that.” Saturday isMercado Market where the em-phasis will be on produce,crafts, prepared foods, and spe-
cialty vendors. While Bolos hopes eventually to have
a year-round market (“we’re well-posi-tioned to expand the market and its offer-ings”), he’s excited about the commitmentthe city has made to ensure the market’ssuccess. “Richmonders are passionateabout the city’s history and the market-place has a huge importance. Being hereis a great location for visitors from Amtrakand a short walk from the financial center,”says Bolos. “We’ve put a lot of work intomaking sure this is a success for the cityand the residents. We want this to be agathering place for everyone.”

Proviz is in the business of visualiz-ing your project—and driving it to-ward reality.
Specializing in architectural and ex-hibition rendering and animation, Provizprovides clients with a wide range of de-liverables that include photo-realisticrenderings, animated walkthroughs,real-time panoramas, interactive DVDs,and complete virtual tours. BeforeMovieland was a Sunday morning desti-nation, it was a state-of-the-art architec-tural rendering by Proviz. And as theMiller & Rhoads building was trans-forming into sought-after residences, theProviz team was developing images thathelped designers, investors, and clientelesee the future possibilities of this time-
honored landmark. “We recognized that until recently
there were very few renderings beingdone for historic buildings, adaptivereuse projects, and/or preservation jobs.In a city like Richmond, the opportuni-ties were huge because of the vast his-toric building stock. In 2006 we set out tocapture a major share of this market—both locally and nationally. Today, I ampleased to announce that well over halfthe visualization projects we produce arehistoric projects,” says Proviz directorTrey Tyler.
Proviz’s work extends beyond stateand national boundaries, as well. Pro-duction is currently underway for DukeUniversity Health System for an ani-
mated flyover of the campus. This ani-mation (virtual movie) will simulatewhat the new cancer center and majorhospital addition will look like in con-text to the rest of the campus buildingswhen completed.
Proviz recently collaborated withthe Washington, DC office of Perkins+Will to develop several 3-D renderingsof a new data center in Saudi Arabia.
The Proviz staff has professionalbackgrounds in architecture, graphicand 3-D design, advertising, and anima-tion. This collective experience allowsProviz to work as fully engaged partnersin the creative process with a wide rangeof clients. And that’s something to getanimated about.

ARCHITECTUREOUT-OF-BOUNDSIt’s tempting to think that BOB Archi-tecture was named for the founder,Robert A. Steele, AIA.
But in fact, the name stands for“Beyond Ordinary Boundaries”—andthat’s a place Steele and his 6 col-leagues go every day.
Situated high above the intersec-tion of 7th and Franklin, BOB Archi-tecture’s offices are within a fewmiles of some of their most design-forward projects: 1708 Gallery, Mil-lie’s Diner, Bruce’s Super Body Shop,and In Your Ear Music and RecordingStudio. All of those projects have re-
ceived design awards. The firm is equally comfortable
with historical structures. Their workon Woodside Plantation earned BOBArchitecture a Southern HomeAward, presented in 2000 by SouthernLiving Magazine.
While many of their buildings arefamiliar Greater Richmond landmarks,BOB Architecture’s residential, com-mercial, and historic projects are alsoseen throughout the Eastern Seaboard.
They moved to their current of-fices, in a building that once housedVEPCO, four years ago. They realized
they were bucking a trend, and werepartly motivated by that fact.
“We’ve been everywhere,” saysSteele, noting that many of his col-leagues in the architecture field havetheir offices in Richmond’s loft dis-tricts. “We are one of the few architec-ture firms in a high-rise. We wantedto break the mold.” And with theirbold redesign of their office suite, theyfeel they have done that.
“When the elevator door openson the ninth floor,” says Steele,“You know you have arrived some-where different.” CWS

When Neil Amin returned to the town he grew up in after his two-year stint inNew York City, he knew he couldn’t return to the suburbs and wanted a spacelike the loft he had near Union Square. Riverside on the James drew his interestwith its waterfront location and general accessibility both to downtown and thesurrounding area, so he bought two units, knocked down a wall and embarkedon the creation of a unique, modern space.
“It was a bachelor pad when I got here,” says Neil’s wife Amishi who relocated toRichmond from London. “When I came along we bought new furniture and addeda lot of finishing touches and accents including more lamps, mirrors, and artwork.”
The marriage of aesthetics has resulted in a sleek and contemporary space that isperfect for hosting friends and family, whether in town for the weekend or pop-ping in for a drink on the way to a multitude of nearby downtown destinations.
“It’s wonderful to be at the heart of it all,” says Neil.

The Amins’ minimalist palette of black, gray and ivory is softened by the clever play of light and shadow that creates different areas of focus. Central to the
design is the dramatic contemporary light fixture with an ornate shade, Moroccan in feel. Note how the home office seamlessly blends into the living space,
the simple, yet elegant, white chairs’ curves mimic the computer’s form. The recessed kitchen also blends into the open floorplan, perfect for entertaining.

RUDY & NORMABERMAN VALENTERiverside on the JamesWhen Rudy and Norma Berman Valente moved down from theNew York City area to Richmond, they did not want to leave the ki-netic energy of metropolitan life entirely behind. They were alsolooking for an exceptional view.
They eventually found both in a 10th floor Downtown loft atRiverside on the James. “During the day, it is incredible to watchthe sunlight and shadows slowly moving over the buildings,”says Norma. “In the evenings, the sunset is reflected on the sidesof the buildings and at night the lights of Richmond are ab-solutely beautiful.”
Nothing in the apartment detracts from or obstructs the view. Infact, the effect is multiplied by mirrors hung amongst a stunningcollection of Isamari paintings. All the furniture came from Rudy’sformer furniture company, R.V. Cole, and reflects their love of cleanlines and subtle design.
Norma: “During the day, it is incredible towatch the sunlight and shadows slowlymoving over the buildings.”

In 2004, Bill Chapman and his company,Fountainhead Development, transformedPlant Zero, a former Manchester factory,into a veritable artist enclave, featuringover 120 artist studios and lofts, a café, artgalleries and a 7,000 square foot eventspace. A year later, he finished his own
condo in the adjacent Decatur buildingand was finally able to join the commu-nity he had created.
“I like being around other creative peo-ple,” says Bill. “I love the creative en-ergy here and I feel like I’m at the
forefront of changing trends.”
The fruits of so much contagious creativ-ity abound throughout Bill’s home. Sincethe top level of the unit boasted the bestviews, he eschewed convention and builthis living space upstairs.

Developers Jeremy and Robyn Connell also pounced at the Decatur oppor-tunity. “We have a tremendous faith in the future of Manchester,” says Je-remy, “and we wanted to be here from the beginning of its rebirth.”
Their space features a steel fireplace he designed, beautiful Australian lacewood countertops, rich wooden furniture with a French country flair and aspectacular collection of giraffe figures and statues, some as tall as ten feet.
“By integrating exposed brick walls, heavy timber columns, original metalwindows, and existing piping into our design,” he says, “we were able tocreate an industrial skeleton upon which we’ve imposed a comfortableand traditional living environment.”
The Connells enjoy the process of creating unique living environments asmuch as the finished product. “We recently bought another warehousetwo blocks from here and have placed this apartment on the market,” saysRobyn, “We enjoyed doing it so much we’d like to do it again.”

For South Boston-based developer J. Harman Saunders andhis wife Beth Ware Saunders, it was all about the River. Andthey do mean “River.”
“We had decided a number of years ago that we wanted aweekend place on ‘The Rivah,’ as people like to call it,” saysHarman. “But we came to Richmond first, and this was asfar as we needed to go.”
Although their light-filled Rocketts Landing penthouse is aweekend retreat, their enthusiasm makes them ambassadorsfor Downtown Richmond.
“A couple of medical students walked into the lobby one af-ternoon. They were curious about Rocketts Landing, so Itook them upstairs and showed them around.”
The penthouse is furnished with a mix of traditional and con-temporary furnishings, many of which came from La Diff. Harman’s favorite “room” is actually the rooftop garden,which affords incomparable views of the river and city thatdrew them there in the first place.
“If my wife is looking for me, she can usually just open thedoor and call up to the roof.” CWS

BIG CITY, BRIGHT LIGHTS
THE PULSE OF RICHMONDW hen Tammy D. Hawley pur-
chased paintings by Rich-mond artist Anne Sylvest,
some expressed surprise that theywere for her office.
“I said, ‘I spend all day in my of-fice, and then I go home and sleep,’”says Hawley, who has been MayorDwight Jones’s press secretary sinceJanuary. Although she is busy keep-ing the mayor’s vision for Richmondin the public conversation, Hawleystill finds time for renewal outsidethe office, as well.
She regularly attends First Fri-day’s and openings at the Black His-tory Museum, two events thatembody the things she loves most
about Richmond: the pulse of thecity and its cultural diversity.
Hawley is a Richmond nativeand graduate of VCU. Her lifelonglove of the arts was sparked whenshe saw works by Romare Beardenduring an elementary school fieldtripto VMFA. Her own collection in-cludes works by Richmond artistsVicki Foster and Canan Boomer. TheNAACP presented her with an origi-nal Jacob Lawrence lithograph inrecognition of her tenure as ChiefOperating Officer from 1996-1998.Prior to her work with the NAACP,she was Chief of Staff to Congress-man Kweisi Mfume for 9 years.
Hawley is enthusiastic about
Mayor Jones’s plans to position Rich-mond as a first-tier city and believesthis is a robust time for her home-town. In reflecting on the careerpath that has circled back to Rich-mond, she’s philosophical.
“When we lived in the Washing-ton Park area, our house was onMaggie Walker Avenue,” says Haw-ley. “I thought that was ironic, be-cause later I worked on bankinglegislation on Capitol Hill, includingseveral minority banking initiatives.Earlier, when we lived in JacksonWard, I remember my mother sayingthat the 2 Street area was the Harlemof the South, but I only understoodwhat that really meant later.” CWS
