Hercules Library
The young and growing city of Hercules understood that it lacked a strong civic presence or architectural character in its downtown. The main goal of the new $11.2 million library was to provide that civic presence in the form of a landmark structure around which the city could enhance their community. The robust, sculptural forms of the 23,000 SF library, designed by HGA Architects and Engineers in association with will bruder+PARTNERS, provides that absent dynamic architectural character.

800 North Harper
800 North Harper in West Hollywood, CA was designed by Apel Design, Inc. a Los Angeles based boutique architecture studio.
The duplex is a modern expressed structure, focusing on simplification of form with sharp lines and edges accenting the flow throughout the house. Apel used sophisticated architectural elements and concepts throughout the house, made good use of the direction of available light and oversized window openings to bring exterior aspects into the interior.
The building’s two units each benefit from their own patio and waterfall that makes the somewhat small quarters a retreat. On the outside of the house, Apel used muted grays, but designed various patterns which gives the exterior decorative details and depth. Continuing with the outside color scheme, Apel used gray toned concrete slab flooring throughout the house.
As a contrast to the outside design, the interior of the house has a feeling of a place you would want to get away to for the weekend or more. Apel used rich materials such as steel and deep dark woods, with large windows and skylights to give the space some warmth. The second story loft overlooking the very modern living room and entrance to the patio, makes the living space seem much bigger than it is.

Deep well dewatering system in San Diego, California on a job making repairs to a Navy fuel pipeline
This photo was taken on a recent job in San Diego, California, for the CMAC Company who were making repairs to a Navy fuel pipeline, this view is of a typical Griffin deep well and collection line hookup, clearly shows the well head and swing hose hooked in to a tee in the collection pipe. Deepwell dewatering systems can lower the groundwater table to a considerable depth (up to 100 feet deep and more). A submersible pump is installed at the bottom of the well. The water
is raised from the well by the electric submersible, which generates a high head corresponding to the depth of the well.

A below grade mixing vault on a project in Southern California
Griffin installed a multitude of deepwells along the alignment of the proposed railway connecting the Port of Los Angeles to downtown Los Angeles to allow for construction. The discharge from the deep wells was pumped via large diameter High Density Polyethylene Pipe (HDPE) to a below grade mixing vault (shown in picture), where a neutralizing agent was introduced to the ground water as the quality of the groundwater was not allowed to discharge to the designated receiving area without this treatment.

Biola University Parking Facility
The Biola University Parking Facility #1 was designed and constructed by the CPC/HBParkco/F&W
team. Before the design process began, the University was faced with the dilemma of needing both
more parking on campus as well as a new soccer field to improve athletic appeal. Through collaboration,
the Design-Build Team innovated a soccer field and running track designed over the top level of
the parking facility. The final concept enhanced the site by adding surface parking over the existing
soccer field. The existing higher elevation difference between the gym and existing soccer field, were
used to the advantage of the project by allowing the pedestrian level of the gym and athletic field to be
the same. This is the first multi-level parking facility for the campus.

Walter Helms Middle School New Campus
Baker Vilar Architects designed the new Walter Helms Middle School campus to fit into the urban context of the community, and has a modern Mission style which corresponds to the theme of the City of San Pablo.
The site is organized into public, administrative and academic zones, and is fully accessible.
The public section is sited along Road 20 adjacent to the future play fields. At the opposite end is the multi-purpose building, located at the corner of the site and visible as you approach the school from the east along El Portal Drive.
The main entry of the school includes a public plaza located adjacent to the administration and multi-purpose building. A covered veranda along the main quad connects administration, community/after school programs, library, and gymnasium. A covered patio provides access to the school’s multipurpose/performing arts/café and music room.
The academic section of the new school contains three identical two-story buildings located along San Pablo Creek on the quiet side of the site. They each include an open courtyard that leads to the school’s main quad which is shared by the entire school, allowing each building to become a small school and form its own community.
The new campus has three two-story classroom buildings, administration offices, library, gymnasium complex, multipurpose/ cafeteria building, and media center building. New fields will be constructed on the site of the former school buildings after students are moved into the new school.
Seismically safe, state-of-the-art buildings will replace all of the existing buildings. All utilities (electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fire alarm, data, phone, and security systems) meet contemporary and future technology challenges.

Gokturk Arketip Housing Project
The Archetype project holds different measurements than the other three projects designed at the same time in the area of Göktürk. Among the factors which affected the massive development and settlement of the project are; the few number of floors which the surrounding buildings held, the proximity to the forest at the southern end, the requirement to utilize areas underneath the roof, and the owner’s wishes regarding flat dimensions. Other influences on the design consist of tensions between private vs. public spaces, pedestrian vs. vehicular areas, the performance over time of main building and landscape materials, as well as the optimization of the general expenses during the time of usage.
A linear plan, composed of a shared main entry, service and wet areas inside flats, hallways, main areas, and terraces, is placed on a regular structure, and is repeated at each different flat type, making maximum use of natural light. Such an order also makes possible varieties of flats which might come about during the time of construction. The middle areas of the apartment buildings which lie on the east-west axis are loosened and detached, creating deep voids which provide attractive public spaces on the north-south axis, and form a relationship with the social facility located below the ground level. The voids between the building blocks form private gardens. Such detachments also create terraces to be utilized at the upper levels. The main façade materials include natural stone, wood, and concrete, which are materials that age well with time. The private gardens at the ground level are replaced with large terraces at the upper levels. The mobile screens that surround these terraces provide protection from wind and light, as well as form a unique and shifting aesthetic construction, by their various ways of usage.

Chapman University, Filmmakers Parking Structure
Bomel Construction Co., the general contractor, completed a 4.5-level, 360-stall parking structure and adjacent construction work on the western edge of Chapman University in Orange County, California.

In addition to the $6.3-million parking structure, Bomel’s scope of work included construction of a sand volleyball court, a half basketball court and a pocket park with benches, amounting to a total construction cost of about $9 million.

Desert Hills Premium Outlets
Shoppers at the Desert Hills Premium Outlets near Palm Springs, Calif., now have a shady and secure spot to leave their cars while they hunt for brand-name baragains in the Southern California low desert city of Cabazon. The 1,800-stall, four-level parking garage was delivered via a design-build contract by Bomel Construction and International Parking Design for Simon Property Group, the 20-year-old mall's owner. The $16-million parking structure was designed to fit seamlessly into Desert Hills’ upscale motif. “I don’t think I’ve built a parking structure with as many colors as this one has. It’s a very nice looking structure,” said Kasey Shay, senior project manager for Bomel Construction, a 43-year-old concrete contractor that has completed hundreds of parking structures in the West, including those at major malls in California for such developers as Simon, Caruso Affiliated Holdings and the Irvine Company. Shay said about a dozen desert-inspired colors is just one attractive aspect of a 700-foot-long parking structure that also sports stained concrete with banding and saw cuts in the lobby. Other high-end features include pendant light fixtures, stone columns at each entrance, a pre-cast colored concrete base and foam cornices. The Desert Hills’ garage has an escalator that quickly transports shoppers between levels. The most dramatic aspect of construction, according to Shay, was the erection of two vehicle bridges, both 70-feet long, which required a great deal of teamwork and formwork. “One bridge is 30 feet above ground; the other is 40 feet in the air and goes into a hillside. It was quite a sight during construction,” Shay said. One bridge comes off a public street called Millard Pass while the other stems from an adjacent surface parking lot. The bridges vary in width: one is 35-feet wide and the other is 28-feet wide. Despite the challenging work on the bridges and the active site, Bomel completed the entire project free of injuries.
