INTRODUC TION

Thank you for the invitation and opportunity to present this RFQ for the site of Trinity Lutheran Church. Richardson SPG is excited to present a proposal that immediately brings at least a dozen highly skilled creative professionals and over $1m in payroll to the city of Lakewood. Additionally, we strongly believe in fostering a creative community and contributing to/improving the sense of place that already exists in the city.

We feel strongly about this project because: • It allows us to relocate Richardson Design to Lakewood, our home city, and create a tailored work space that will allow us to attract the best talent and double the size of our business by 2022. • For 25 years we have been in the business of creating outstanding hospitality, retail and work spaces for our clients. We look at the Trinity Lutheran site as an opportunity to apply our design and business acumen to foster a creative hub in Lakewood. • We are strongly committed to the growth and vitality of our city and this project represents a unique opportunity to invest in our business, while benefiting the overall community.

Beyond our business goals, we have a tremendous admiration for the architectural grander of Detroit Avenue that remains today. The rehabilitation of historical buildings such as; the Detroit Warren Building, the Bailey Building; and First Church of Christian Scientists have set a precedent for preservation that we strongly support. Additionally, sites like the Cleveland Clinic Family Health Center bring fresh perspective and contrast. This dichotomy reflects the essence of Lakewood; rooted in history, with an eye to the future. This is the sensibility we hope to bring to the Trinity Lutheran site.

“ THROUGH OUR DE VEL OPMENT GOAL S, WE SEEK T O TR ANSFORM THE PROPER T Y T O BE S T SERVE OUR FIRM WHIL E SIMULTANE OUSLY ALIGNING WITH L AK E WOOD’S COMMUNIT Y VISION.”

PRO JE C T VISIONThis property presents a unique development opportunity, as the Trinity Lutheran Church structure defines the identity of the site, while the adjacent spaces allow for a site plan that enhances its long-term usability and value. This means that the rehabilitation of the church building is critical, that leveraging supporting structures will create a sense of place, and that thoughtful utilization of space between structures will activate Detroit Avenue.

We envision a collection of lively and active public/private spaces that will create a new focal point, provide a unique destination, support unique programming, and restore a valued Lakewood landmark, all while securing its vitality for the future.

Highlights of the development:

T RINIT Y E X T ERIOR • Preserve and restore critical features of the building (brick work, front porch, other various architectural elements) • Compliment the historic structure through enhancements that will increase its long-term usability and value: Sky lights to add natural light to the interior space without detracting from the character of the exterior New windows and exterior facade work that will improve the efficiency and appearance of the classroom addition • Retain all stained-glass windows so they remain a permanent and critical exterior feature of the building • Excavate the lower level of the church building’s east side to accommodate a terraced, outdoor courtyard • Add three (3) french doors along the church building’s east side to connect the lower level to the terraced courtyard • Create an architectural feature at the northeast corner of the church building to house an elevator for handicapped access and a stairway to enhance vertical circulation

T RINIT Y IN T ERIOR • Restore the choir loft, the wood truss details, the interior of the stained-glass windows and other historic elements • Add a second story mezzanine space at the north end of the sanctuary with access to a roof top amenity on the northwest side of the classroom building • Modernize mechanical systems throughout • Incorporate sustainable elements (high-efficiency MEP systems, sustainable interior f inish products, LED lighting, etc.) • Renovate the restrooms and ensure ADA compliance • Remove non-load bearing walls in classroom building to create a more open floor plan

• Renovate the lower level as an open floor plan, f lexible space for community or private events, as a collaborative work space, and for future expansion of Richardson Design – the lower level would have access to the adjacent courtyard • Transform and open up the lower level kitchen

C OMMERCIAL BUIL DINGS (E A S T SIDE OF SIT E) • Maintain the east commercial building, while removing the west commercial building • Reconfigure the remaining commercial building to improve its appearance and usability, while providing access to the courtyard • Consider an addition to the north side of the building, creating a customer friendly parking lot façade. • Renovate the remaining commercial building to accommodate a variety of tenant types (such as a butcher shop, a bakery, a wine room, or a combination of all three)

PROPER T Y GROUNDS • Create a courtyard for the employees of the site, for private events, or for the general public • Connect the lower level of the church building via terraced courtyard • Improve the north parking lot to meet current Lakewood code requirements and enhance the appearance • Create a small Richardson Design client specific motor court to the southwest corner of the lot, utilizing pervious pavers

AL IGNING WIT H L AK E WOOD’S C OMMUNIT Y VISION • Provide high quality design and development – this is reinforced by our body of work/track record • Set an example of historic preservation in commercial development • Enhancing the redevelopment of Detroit Avenue by linking pockets of vitality and ‘extending’ currently planned projects (such as the former Barry Buick site) • Supporting one of the City of Lakewood’s main visions for “Creating Places for People” - Richardson Design markets itself as the design firm that is an expert in “Creating The Places Where You Want To Be” • Maintaining a buffer between Detroit ’s commercial corridor and adjacent residential neighborhoods by preserving existing buildings • Develop flexible spaces that promote new activity, while fostering new business development and talent attraction • Help Lakewood attract other high-quality development projects • Immediately add new salaried jobs to the city, with the intent to more than double the number of creative professionals working on the the site by 2022
