architects &

urban

plannersWe are an established professional servic

corporation offering breakthrough services Architecture, Urbanism, Interiors, and Brandin

The firm seeks to successfully leverage its tra

record working for large and well-known firms

Atlanta, New York and San Juan by offeri

conceptual innovation and creativity along wi

the expertise as a strong service provider in desig

development, documentation, permitting, proje

delivery and branding.


3/30

Our firm is grounded on four guiding principles:

Focus on Leadership- Leaders infuse a fresh spirit in all

endeavors providing a distinctive vision in Project

Execution. Leaders deliver. Leaders wear their passion on

their sleeves, regardless of Project size or nature. Being big

or small is not the crucial issue. If you dont move, youdont move.

Total commitment for our community- What we do can

only make sense when done within a strong cultural

context. To contribute to our community with our efforts,

our ideas, our dreams, is what drives our work. By

participating fully in our community we turn the design

business into the experience business.

Total passion for innovation- Creativity in a design oriented

industry like ours, is really a complex issue. The truth is

that the urge to innovate at fournier:arquitectura is

market-driven. We ask ourselves: What do our Clients

need? How is that need fulfilled? How do we fit in when

fulfilling that need? Its design, not strategy, that ignites

passion in people. And the magic behind better design andbetter business is innovation.

Positioned to grow- To grow is definitely a strategic choice.

In order to be part of the new economy, you have to

nurture meaningful new relationships, new alliances, new

project-based partnerships. To face the challenge of

growth, you must energize the field with staff and

associates who share the firms core values. Whiledisparate growth may stiffle innovation and creativity,

orchestrated growth can provide the structure for future

leaders.

The Hollywood Model

Unlike some other architectural design offices, we do not sponsor the

"atelier" system, a term left over from the Beaux Arts past that

means that separate design teams are set up within the office to take

one project at a time and carry it through from the very beginning to

the end. Our office is much more responsive and simply structured.At F:A, we promote the interaction of specialists in each stage of

design and production that move in and out pretty much in the way

films are made. Just one person stays with a job all the way, and that

is the Integrated Project Team Leader, responsible overall for

everything, and who is the one person, aside from the principal,

authorized to deal directly with the Client.

This way, we can avail the best talent posible for each Project. We

promote the value of open collaboration, producing innovative

products for our Clients, avoiding copycat buildings and tired

solutions. This approach not only fosters innovation but does it at

warp speeds, understanding our Clients needs for completing

projects sooner than projected and anticipated. We have learned

how to assemble top-notch teams of specialists, inspire them to work

together in extremely productive ways, only to disband them when

the Project is over and reconfigure those same teams for the next

exciting job. So far, this model has worked extremely well



6/30


Why should YOU care 24/7 as WE do?

We believe in servicing you above all. Providing

breakthrough professional services-oriented architecture(SOA) is an art-science only mastered by the few. You

expect design excellence in a total-service environment

where great creative ideas and project profitability co-

exist. Versed in historic and contemporary architectural

theories, We aspire at more than talking or writing about

buildings. We consider projects within a comprehensive

realm of possibilities, looking at site opportunities,

cultural and economic environments, physical andfunctional needs including budget constraints. Most

architects stop here. No matter the size of the project, we

include in our analysis, construction techniques,

marketing, post-occupancy issues and branding.

Design, finance, and technology work together in

creatively and exciting new ways. Ten years ago, we were

convinced that a design practice under this prescription

was possible. We will work closely with our Clients in not

only meeting their inherently complex building needs, but

to do it in a fast paradigm-disrupting fashion.

Our Clients have witnessed the magic and proved us right.

We believe our praxis reflects the results of our beliefs

and efforts

2-engine Fire Station, San Lorenzo PR

The San Lorenzo Fire Station welcomes visitors whotravel to this town through the Chayanne Expressway. Itis shaped by local vernacular residential architecture,avoiding institutional clichs. The facility is split along acorridor spine, allowing each half to develop its own roofand skyline profile. The stairwell acts as a large windowto the Municipal Police Station and 9-1-1 EmergencyResponse Center.

The two-engine garage is located off the main road,allowing the main faade to develop fully without the

encumbrance of the boxy garage structure.The upper living quarters include relaxation andovernight facilities, while the ground floor includesoffices and receptions areas, with access to the firetrucks. The building facades react to different planesand colors, giving the structure additional volumetricpresence.


13/30


Police Station and Emergency Response

Center, San Lorenzo PR

The Police Station and Emergency Response Centerare part of the local Public Security Complex thatincludes the Fire Station. The Police Station and theFire Station act as gateway to the town on the northernaccess route The front portion of the building respondsto the Fire Station architecture, facing the ChayanneExpressway.

The facility includes offices, muster rooms, conferencerooms, temporary living quarters, a gym and a 5-vehiclegarage. The Police Station building is connected to the9-1-1 facility through a vertical circulation core entrancethat serves as a preamble to the public use of the roofterrace.

The facility conveys a sense of openness andfriendliness as opposed to other similar facilities whichare seen more as fortresses or unaccessiblegovernment institutions.

San Rafael Town Village, Trujillo Alto PR

The San Rafael TownVillage residential community consists of

38 single-family homes, featuring 4 bedrooms and 2-1/2

baths. Located on 7 lushly landscaped acres, the residential

complex is sited in a secluded self-contained development,highlighting natural water and land features. Prior to

designing the units, fournier:arquitectura csp led the re-

zoning efforts that paved the way for this project.

Residences are priced to sell in the $350K market. The new

recreational area and community park was designed as an

open space but also functions with a dual purpose in the

overall management of site storm water drainage system.

Over an acre was left untouched to enhance the overall

development. Other characteristics of the development that

make it both unique and desirable include a selection of avariety of facades for uniquely designed models, enhanced

vegetative walks and the catalyst for future designed

environments for the surrounding areas.

Presently, rows of run-down houses will make way for

revitalized neighborhoods and communities and improved

access roadways.

The Mayor of the town of SanLorenzo wanted to create a park that would serve bothneighborhoods, aiming at discovering what united themas well as the fact that they for years have neverintegrated. The partifor the design proposed a wall thatdissolved itself, became soft and promoted convergencewith changing vantage points.

on the Condado Area. The 25-story building includes 55open lofts, all different from each other. Conceivedoriginally as a Jenga tower, it developed naturally fromvarious referential sources.

El Beauty, as our office building is known around our

neighborhood, is located in the heart of Hato Rey, twoblocks away from Plaza Las Amricas. An abandonedhouse that once included a beauty salon on the rearapartment was converted into our offices, serving as a

guinea pig project. We were able to shape an oldresidence into an efficient working environment bykeeping the original concept of separate pavilions whileintegrating energy saving features including an insulatedskylight, operable windows, a shading thermal frontconcrete screen as well as a recycled fluorescentlightbulb lamp. The project served to try out innovativeconcepts right in our backyard which proved us right..

New Urban School, Ciales PR

The New Urban School of Ciales (PR) has beenconceived as several facilities sharing a common

goal. Entry and circulation patterns have beenstrategically devised to provide distinct andexciting approaches to an educational facility thatis inherently large by PR standards. With 900students, the new school needs to managedifferent scenarios while providing efficientteaching, schooling, dining, studying, reading,playing and resting activities.

The design approach sought to integrate theseactivities within a large facility by breaking

program needs into smaller precincts, whilestressing those uses that connected the differenteducational levels and activities. This way, ourbuilding starts to be carved out and rotated to

allow for light, ventilation, vistas, controlledaccess and enlightening experiences whilelearning and carrying out a daily educationalagenda.

Expansion of Urban School, Toa Alta PR

The Nicolas Sevilla School of Toa Alta conformsone of three schools in the area, being this onethe most prominent. This is basically truebecause of its location on top of a light hill withinthe residential zone. Also, the existing building isnewer than the other two. The proposed additionsubstitutes the existing administration buildingand gives the renovated school, its new look

within the parameters of the Schools for the 21stCentury Program.

The proposed track and field facilities areincluded as an alternative rather than an item inthe base bid due to the fact that the allocatedarea is not sufficient to locate a working certifiablesports facility as regulated by the Officialorganizations ruling the sports activities. Wehave included an alternate using the standard ofthe University of Idaho, which, although it

includes the required distance, does not providethe certifiable geometry.

The rest of the program components have beenincluded in our offer, using the existing one-storybuilding by the existing parking facility. Theseareas will be converted to the dance and musicinstruction areas, avoiding the construction of anextra floor, thus able to bring the project withinprescribed budget considerations.
