WORLD
SAVINGS
BANK
COMPLETED 1980
The project is a new banking and loan facility located in an existing shopping center. The forms, spaces,
materials, color and details come together to form a lyrical expression of a straightforward bank and office
building plan. Use of brick on the curving front, the flat walls, and window surrounds neatly relate a wide
range of materials to create a sense of strength and permanence. (with Hawley-Stowers, Associates)

JOSEPH'S
CATHEDRAL
COMPLETED 1992
The original architect, Bryan Clinch, designed the church in 1877 using guidelines set forth in a treatise written in 1450 on the design of ideal churches. This church is unique in its centrally organized Greek
cross design. The rehabilitation included an entire seismic upgrade, refurbishing of the exterior and
interior finishes, applying a new copper roof, and special lighting and acoustical treatments.
POLLARD PLAZA
COMPLETED 2005
Located on a landlocked infill site surrounded on three sides by residential properties and a commercial
shopping center, the design takes advantage of the introverted nature of the site with the mass of the structure designed around a central courtyard.
METROPOLE
COMPLETED 1994
This important downtown historic rehabilitation project combines two historic structures to create the
flagship headquarters for media giant Knight-Ridder Digital. The two-story Sunol Building (c.1875) and
the Alcantara Building (c.1898) received seismic upgrading and complete façade restorations. The interior
office space plan by RWM Associates juxtaposes a mechanism of interactive hi-tech office systems
against the historic exposed brick structural walls. The graphics, designed by renowned designer Michael
Manwarring, continues this concept to the exterior signage.

GARDEN
CITY
COMPLETED 1999
Built in 1934, this warehouse constructed of masonry with bowstring trussed was to become the most
re-cycled structure in San Jose. It outlived a used-car dealership, battery and carburetor station, paint
factory, motorcycle repair shop and an auto body shop. The structure has been seismically upgraded and
is now the offices of a former demolition contractor. The interior is designed not only as the offices of
Garden City Construction but also as a museum containing the artifacts found during demolition.
