- 5. Anton Janezich, AIA 5 Bingham McCutchen, LLP Washington, DC with Lewis Goetz and GGA Law Firm/Interior Fit-Out, Phase 1 Project Designer - Completed, 2007 (50,000 sq. ft). Interconnecting Stair This project was designed as a col- laboration with New York Architect Vesselin Milev. Based on his previous professional relationship with Bing- ham McCutchen, Vesselin would bring the qualitative ideas needed to align Bingham McCutchens forward think- ing modernist views tailored for the 21st century to bear in Washington, DC as he did at their London and New York locations. As design principle for GGA, Anton worked with Vesselin to satisfy the quantitative criteria for the project. The resulting collaboration balanced Melivs schematic ideas with built solutions in response to the proj- ects programmed requirements with a view to insure financial success for the Washington DC location of this international litigation and real estate firm. In addition, Anton was to take the schematic objectives and goals pre- pared by Vessilin and assemble the con- struction documents necessary to dem- onstrate the qualitative design intent to conclusion in its final built form and as visioned by Milev. The collaboration resulted in the desired applied creativ- ity giving parody to the architectural qualities of the design and the financial and business objectives of the client.

- 6. Anton Janezich, AIA 6 Organization of American States Washington, DC with Lewis Goetz and GGA International Agency/Building Renova- tion and Interior Fit-Out Project Designer - Completed, 2003 (280,000 sq. ft.) Conference Centre The General Secretariat Building of this international organization was designed in an international style around their ex- tensive art collection and natural materials indicative to the Americas. The lobby and adjacent conference centre was repo- sitioned to link the two spaces together by removing the lobby slab to carve out a two story conference centre and exposing it to natural light for the 35 nation diplomatic representative body. Served by interpreter rooms to facilitate the official languages of Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English, the conference centre is over-viewed by an- other two story public space of the entrance lobby above. To unify the once separated political forum of the conference centre and the public lobby above, folded planes of Honduran mahogany were geometrical and visually added to the scheme along a ceremonial path that connects the two spaces with a stainless steel, limestone and glass monumental stair. The folded wood planes form a canopy and entrance to the main conference room and a canopy and ceiling for the entrance reception desk and elevator lobby above. This design provides a forward thinking image for an interna- tional and culturally diverse organization.

- 7. Anton Janezich, AIA 7 Kirkpatrick & Lockhart, LLP Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with Debra Lehman Smith and LSM Law Office/Interior Fit-out Coordinating Architect - Completed 2000 (200,000 sq. ft.) Boardroom - Onyx Wall Inspired by the onyx storefront facades of the coffee bars in Carrera, Italy, the boardroom corridor wall offers visual pri- vacy for the users while allowing natural light to pass through it. The serrated or saw tooth design provided lateral stabil- ity to the wall as well as identical eleva- tions inside and outside the boardroom.

- 8. Anton Janezich, AIA 8 10 Ludgate Place, London, England Investment Office Building with Adrian Smith and SOM Coordinating Architect Completed 1992 (150,000 sq. ft.) Exterior Wall Designed as an expression of high tech gothic, the cladding of this building takes a simple 1500 mm module and adds a level of vertical detail with the use of gran- ite and stainless steel. The depth this ar- rangement creates, exploits the limited views up and down Seacoal Lane, a nar- row and curved, London side street adja- cent to the Holborn Viaduct approach to St. Paul s Cathedral and The Old Bailey.

- 9. Anton Janezich, AIA 9 United Gulf Bank Manama, Bahrain with Adrian Smith and SOM Corporate Bank Headquarters Coordinating Architect - Completed 1983 (100,000 sq. ft.) Exterior Wall The articulated pre-cast panelized system that makes up the exterior building skin offers protection from the sun by using several architectural responses to the cli- mate of Bahrain. Although the facade of the building suggests a relatively simple pre-cast expression, the building site and the climate considerations required a great deal of care to generate the geometry that accommodated the exterior wall, offer so- lar protection and provided views. Clear reflective insulating glass windows are deeply recessed, evoking references to the regional vernacular, and are set beneath a horizontal sun-shading element designed to minimize solar gain from the high south sun. This element acts in conjunction with a translucent glass transom above to admit and reflect diffused natural light to perim- eter office spaces. In front of the window panels, diagonally oriented vertical shad- ing fins of green tinted glass are set into the buildings pre-cast concrete cladding panels. These fins are all oriented south and inhibit solar penetration during the morning and late afternoon hours while still affording views to the outside. This pre-cast design demonstrates that modern western architecture can respond sensi- tively to climate, culture and a difficult site.
