Le Pain Quotidien
Rockefeller Center
New York, NY
Approximately 3,700 square feet on the ground floor of an existing
office building was creatively converted for use as a Le Pain Quotidien
Restaurant.
RSC Architects, working with project managers from Le Pain Quotidien,
designed the layout for this elegant eatery in Rockefeller Center,
across the street from Radio City Music Hall. The spacious restaurant
consists of a bakery/retail area, dining area with two large communal
tables, kitchen and restrooms. The restaurant also has an outdoor
patio area that is used for outdoor dining during the warmer months.

President’s Column
Spring and summer
were a flurry of
activity for the AIA
across all levels of
the organization. The
National Convention
was held in June
this year in Denver, CO with a theme of
“Leadership for Architecture, Leadership
Beyond Architecture”. Ideas were put
forward to identify where and how
architects can participate in civic leadership
as well as how architecture itself can
better environments and create a better
life for communities. Among the keynote
speakers were Blake Mycoskie, TOMS
Founder, a company that gives a pair of
shoes to a child in an impoverished
community for every pair of shoes sold;
Cameron Sinclair, Co-founder, Architecture
for Humanity, an organization that identifies
communities around the globe that can
be given a leg up by improving their built
environment in some way, be it a school or
a community center; and finally, General
Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) Secretary of
State (2001-2005) who laid out the risks
and rewards of leadership. All were
wonderful and inspiring speakers. The
Convention is an inspiring experience that
should be enjoyed and supported by our
members and community.
Along the lines of civic engagement, I had
the tremendous opportunity to participate
in an AIA SDAT (Sustainable Design
Assessment Team) this past spring and
summer. Spearheaded by AIANJ President
Jack Purvis, a group of architects, planners
and engineers came together to assist
in developing concepts to rebuild Camp
Osborn, a six-block community in Brick
Township that was almost totally leveled
following Storm Sandy in the fall of 2012.
Camp Osborn began as a fishing village
of tents in the 20s and evolved over the
years into a close knit community of
homes, many that had been in the hands of
individual families for several generations.
During the storm most all of the 118
homes had been washed away or burned
the day after, as fires went unchecked
due to the inability of emergency vehicles
to reach them. The homes had been
granted conditional zoning prior to the
storm but after the storm were required
to adhere to new zoning rules and flood
plain elevations. The SDAT held a series
of meetings with the community and town
officials, and through design charettes,
developed a scheme for rebuilding. The
scheme was given conditional approval
and had an overwhelming buy-in from the
community, providing a path to begin to
rebuild. I have never been more proud to
be a part of something or more proud of
my professional colleagues for their effort
and dedication.
the architects league
Our community as a whole is socially
engaged and gives a great deal – from
Habitat for Humanity, to Canstruction, to
our members who serve on boards in
their local municipalities as well as our
own micro community of the Architects
League. But we can do more. I encourage
everyone to consider how they can use
their skills as designers and problem
solvers to assist an individual or community
near them. It’s a valuable and rewarding
experience.

Fellow Architects, someone has said that “all publicity is good publicity”. It could never be more true than with
our graphic 4Q issues of the Leagueline!
It has been 4 years, but WHAT WE DO: 4, has been the opportunity to select a project or two that you have
designed, have had built or is now on the boards and heading for construction.
WHAT WE DO: 4 is getting it “out there” in front of your collegues and anyone else who sees our great quarterly
publication. It is available to all members – here is the work of the 30 plus who took the opportunity to share
their creativity with all of us.

Upper Montclair Train Station
Upper Montclair, NJ
When it was completed in 1902, the Broad Exchange Building was
the largest office building in America, with the highest estimated
real estate value in Manhattan. At the heart of the Financial District
and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, 25 Broad was
converted into condominiums in 1997. Over the years, some of the
building’s characteristic architectural features had either deteriorated
or been removed deliberately, altering the appearance of the facade
and roofline. Previous efforts to address deterioration used materials that were incompatible with the existing structure and, often,
did not match the aesthetic qualities of the original building. Using
photographic documentation found in archives, Hoffmann Architects
designed replicas of lost elements, restoring the decorative features
and profile of the building as it first appeared in 1902. The facade
and window restoration remediated faulty repairs and corrected poor
workmanship and incorrect material selection, resolving building
envelope distress while meeting stringent guidelines for the
treatment of historic properties.

The original train station circa 1890 was totally destroyed by
a fire. The only element salvaged was the front portico roof.
My firm redesigned the new building and received approvals
from the NJ Historical Society and approvals from the Montclair
Historical Society.
The new building is now being used as a restaurant.

Restored Church – Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Parish
Sparta, NJ
Due to ongoing water infiltration and building exterior
maintenance issues, the parish retained Hoffmann
Architects to perform an investigation into the causes
of leaks and deterioration, and to recommend a
remedial course of action. The investigation revealed
evidence of water infiltration at the building perimeter,
originating at absent flashings and open sealant joints
in parapet coping stones. In addition, the stucco
displayed significant cracking and de-lamination,
and exterior facing stone was stained by rust in many
locations. Hoffmann Architects produced contract
documents for the full scope of recommended work,
assisted the church during the bidding and contract
negotiation process, and provided construction
administration services for a repair program that
included a full roof system replacement, parapet repair,
window sealant replacement, exterior stucco repair and
coating, rust stain removal, and other facade repairs to
restore building envelope integrity.

The five core concepts of our approach to
intelligent construction guide our team to:
COMMUNICATE effectively, provide strong
LEADERSHIP, WORK SAFELY, take a
FORWARD THINKING position, and see
a project through to COMPLETION.
Abraham Lincoln is known
to have proclaimed "Give
me six hours to chop
down a tree and I will spend the first four
sharpening the axe". In the same way we
believe that a well prepared approach is the
best insurance for a good outcome.
“Does your axe need sharpening?”

On August 13, 14 and 15, the Architects League
once again offered Revit and AutoCAD for
Beginners. The three-day course was taught by
Board Trustee Richard Bettini, Associate AIA.
Rich is a CAD instructor at West Essex Regional
High School, which generously allowed the
use of their facility. Attendance was small,
but diverse, with one candidate coming from
as far as the Cayman Islands.
Long-time ALNNJ
member Russell Warnet
visiting from Florida
joined us for this tour.
Designed in 1928 by Clarence Stein and Henry Wright, Radburn is
celebrated as the first planned “town for the Motor Age” in America.
Radburn was to be an experiment in living where all the necessary
amenities commonly found in cities were to be planned and built in
this self-contained community, located in the rural town of Fair Lawn,
New Jersey. Schools, businesses and shopping were designed to be
accessible and linked to all residents by common parks, greenways
and paths, safe and removed from roadways and busy streets. Small
lots on cul-de-sacs provided an economical and efficient plan that
encouraged all residents to share and enjoy all the common open
space and walkways that joined them together. Since its inception,
Radburn has served as a textbook for scholars of Town Planning and a
model for New Urbanism. In 1975 Radburn was entered into the U.S.
Department of the Interior’s National Register of Historic Places.
A special thank you to Suzanne and Louis DiGeronimo for hosting the
dinner at their home, and to Joel Ives for hosting the BOT meeting at
his office.
