Adaptive reuse of the Historic Ridgeway Hotel for affordable studio apartments is nearing completion in downtown Sacramento. This project save a boarded up 56 unit boarding house – built at the turn of the century and one of Sacramento’s last examples of Bay Windows along the Alley construction – by converting it into 21 smart studio apartments. All the significant historic fabric was retained, but all the interiors, fixtures, fittings and building operational and safety systems are new. Michael F. Malinowski AIA President, Applied Architecture Inc

Good Firms and Healthy Practices . What do the best firms do to be successful? Survival is the core ‘best practice’ – and still a challenge for many as the recovery is spotty both geographically and re work type. After survival one can start to consider mentoring; customer service; community service; and service to the profession. . How do best firms create a model for others? Sharing; which is tough in a hyper competitive environment. Sharing best practices is the only way all boats can rise. . What defines a great practice? Open / sharing culture that transends fear of competition; sustainable business practices that transend business climate fluctuations; consistent investment in building connections to the public, allied professions, the aia, employees / prospective employees, students, and – oh yeah – clients . . What was the defining point which inspired you to jump off and begin your own firm? Ego and confidence conspired to make that leap possible; once leapt, hard to climb back onto the ledge . What do you think is the single biggest issue impacting the profession in the future? Relevance to the business community and the public. If the profession is thriving, there is energy and time for all the rest to fall into place; where there is no prosperity, all that is good is challenged and struggles. Michael F. Malinowski AIA President, Applied Architecture Inc

From: Mike Malinowski [mailto:mfm@appliedarts.net] Sent: Friday, January 31, 2014 5:52 PM To: ‘Bartl, James’ Subject: Thanks and Kudos for your work on Permit Process Streamlining Mr Bartl I would like to again personally thank you for being generous with your time in both phone interviews and in our chat at the WoodSolutionsFair held in Charlotte on the 29th. I’d also like to take a moment to again compliment you and your team on what you’ve accomplished. As you know, I’ve been researching the benefits of more efficient and effective permit processing around the country. Prior to speaking on this topic in Charlotte, I’ve made presentation in cities such as Minneapolis, Portland OR, Baltimore, Santa Rosa CA, and Denver. In Denver I teamed with nationally known Permit Streamlining consultant Robert Wible to talk to design professionals from around the country about the substantial benefits that more effective and efficient permit processing can bring to their communities. As you know, these benefits include reduced costs for both public and private sectors, economic stimulus to the community, and the advantages that come with updated, higher performing buildings that contribute to a more sustainable and efficient built environment. As I noted in my remarks to some of the 200+ design professionals who braved cold and icy conditions to be at the convention center in Charlotte the other day, the programs, processes and attitudes toward customer service that I’ve found in Charlotte are outstanding. Charlotte/Mecklengburg is at the forefront of a handful of jurisdictions that are at the cutting edge in creating and implementing programs and processes that help customers get to ‘yes’ without any compromise to their core mission in protecting the public health, safety and welfare. What is really incredible is that the numbers show that you’ve maintained the quality of the various programs in place in spite of the economic stresses and staff losses that were the result of the deep recession that is finally coming to an end. I plan to use the successes and forward looking innovations on the horizon that you and your team have stewarded in Charlotte/Mecklenburg as a core case study model when I speak along with co-presenter Robert Wible on the topic of Permit Streamlining – Architects as Change Agents in June at the 2014 AIA National Convention in Chicago. I hope it works out that your schedule will permit you to join us at this largest gathering of Architects in the United States; but in any event I plan to stay in touch and keep up with your progress as you continue to move forward.

Pleased, proud and humbled to receive AIACV Commendation – highest award that is presented by AIA Central Valley!

This very successful and ‘out of the box’ event can trace it’s origins to a casual remark from MFM to Mike Novak last year . “why not make it like a pub crawl .LOL”

Putting this award from my AIA component to use today, morning java now tastes a little better!

It was an incredible honor to be awarded the highest recognition – a Chapter Commendation – from the AIA Central Valley Chapter!

Setting upper level formwork for the concrete stair at the wall required a special crane with a LONG reach – worked right over the top of the six story building to avoid the powerlines in the alley. Photo thanks to Dave Andrews of Largo Concrete

Michael F. Malinowski AIA / Applied Architecture Inc: very pleased to see our design for conversion of the historic Ridgeway Hotel to affordable apartments featured today in Sacramento’s Business Journal.

Wood building is moving along very nicely ; the great weather is helping the schedule! Glulam beams in the community room are over four feet deep . we have plenty of ceiling height to accommodate them.

The WAL (Warehouse Artist’s Lofts) is one of the largest projects underway in California’s capitol city. Designed by Michael F. Malinowski AIA it is the first project in California to incorporate a wood innovation: CLT (Cross Laminated Timber). When completed at the end of 2014 it will energize the historic R Street corridor with hundreds of new residents along with retail and restaurants uses. The WAL ties together a National Register Listed 1910 6 story concrete warehouse – one of the first reinforced concrete structures in California – with adjacent new construction that marries wood with concrete in a sympathetic dance.

Podium concrete is finally in place and wood framing should be moving forward with gusto this week . hoping weather holds to make progress. Roof deck poured as well.
