Fit Technologies /
School One

As a growing company, Fit Technologies engaged Process to design their new offices in Ohio City. However, a fire damaged the building Fit was to occupy seven weeks before the scheduled date of tenancy. Needing new space quickly, Process assisted Fit with a fast and furious move to the Idea Center in downtown Cleveland. By keeping to a tight design and construction schedule, Fit was able to occupy their new offices only sixty days after the fire. Process also designed a 9,200 sf expansion that accommodated 75 additional employees, a new call center, and storage. To complement Fit’s energetic, tech-based culture, the design incorporates bright colors, exposed architectural features, lots of light, and a sense of openness into the new offices.

Point 2 Point
Communications

Point to Point is an award-winning advertising agency located in the Cleveland area. The agency wanted their offices to look like a New York City loft rather than space in a bland suburban office park. With an incredibly tight budget and schedule, Process delivered a design that reflected this vision, and complemented Point to Point’s advertising philosophy. From the initial client meeting to occupancy, the project team had just over three months to complete the design and construction phases. By selecting the contractor and furniture vendor at the outset of the project, Process was able to efficiently stay within budget while meeting the challenging schedule. The week after Point to Point moved into their new offices, they won a major national contract and attributed it to the image projected by their new space. The project received a 2004 IIDA Cleveland-Akron award for Interior Detail.

Thompson Hine

Thompson Hine, an international law firm, awarded Process the major renovation and expansion of its multi-floor Cleveland office after also considering three of the country’s largest architecture firms. Extensive interviews with Thompson Hine’s partners and associates indicated a strong desire for a much brighter and more colorful office environment. Process introduced more natural light, color, and pattern into the new design. Moving formerly dark and maze-like corridors to the exterior of the floor plate and adding glass to offices and conference rooms brightened the overall environment, broadened already spectacular views of the city, and increased way-finding capabilities. Process also provided a lounge area on each floor to facilitate more casual meetings among the firm’s staff and clients.

Century at
The Ritz-Carlton

Century is an excellent example of the holistic design approach utilized by Process. The firm created the concept, name, brand identity, and aesthetics for this stand-alone American bar and grill, a new dining model for The Ritz-Carlton. The project team based the concept on the restaurant’s proximity to the Terminal Tower, Cleveland’s rail transit hub. The designers wanted to evoke the great rail cars of the past century, especially the Twentieth Century Limited, which had the finest dining cars in the world during its heyday in the late 1930s to the 1950s. The team also sought to add a more modern and inviting feel to the traditional Ritz-Carlton image, while maintaining the quality and elegance for which the brand is known. Richardson Design collaborated with Process on this project. Century won top honors at the 2001 IIDA Cleveland-Akron awards in the Hospitality and Interior Details categories.

The project concept builds on Oberlin’s reputation as a progressive and environmentally conscious college and the mid-century modern aesthetics of the hotel. The redesign includes a façade renovation, an enhanced parking plan, and new signage to increase the Inn’s visibility. A new interiors package refreshes and modernizes the Inn’s dated décor and layout. The project vision also calls for sustainable and environmentally-friendly materials, finishes, and amenities, including green rooftop terraces and a natural spring water pool that takes its cues from the sandstone quarries in nearby Amherst, Ohio.

Observation Deck at
the Terminal Tower

In honor of the Terminal Tower’s 80th anniversary, Forest City Enterprises decided to reopen the skyscraper’s observation deck. Process provided architectural services, research, and historic preservation expertise to brighten and return classic elegance to this historic space. Renovations in the 1980s and 1990s covered the walls with dark green wallpaper, added dropped ceilings, and replaced the original linoleum floor with hunter green carpet. The methodical restoration returned the checkerboard linoleum floor, faux masonry wall pattern, classic light fixtures, and ogee crown moldings to the space. Visitors can now enjoy the restored observation deck as Cleveland’s view-seekers had once experienced it in 1930.

Silver Grille

The Silver Grille, the beloved 1930s Art Deco restaurant in the historic Higbee Building, also illustrates Process’s attention to design details. Several unfortunate renovations destroyed the ceiling and left none of the original finishes and lighting fixtures intact. In order to complete an exacting restoration of the restaurant, Process staff cut through layers of paint to find the original color scheme, and extrapolated the initial carpet pattern and lighting elements from historic photographs. The period seating, marble fountain, and metal heating grills, cast in a delicate daffodil pattern, were also restored. This project received top honors for Historic Preservation at the 2002 Northern Ohio Live Awards of Achievement and the Cleveland Restoration Society’s 2002 Preservation Award.

Still Lifes Café at

Museum of Art

The Still Lifes Café project included a redesign and rebranding of an existing cafeteria in the Cleveland Museum of Art. The facility had serious circulation, acoustical, and aesthetic challenges. On an extremely limited budget and within a tight time frame, Process improved traffic flow by reorienting the café’s entrance, serving line, and kitchen. The renovation plan increased seating by adding a teak and glass partition, the design of which echoed the rhythm of columns and windows found on the opposing wall overlooking the museum’s sculpture garden. The partition wall also created an acoustical separation between the kitchen and seating area - quieting the dining experience - as well as a place to hang a vintage George Nelson clock. Blue mosaic glass tile and new light fixtures brightened the formerly dull space. This project was honored at the 2001 IIDA Cleveland-Akron Design Awards.

E Street Store

E Street, a cutting-edge retail brand selling designer street apparel, asked Process to create an innovative retail location in less than four months with a meager budget. Cleveland’s industrial areas, such as the Flats, served as inspiration for an authentically urban store. The solution incorporated an eclectic mix of reclaimed items found at local scrap yards, such as wood doors, pipes, concrete block, and steel angles. Even the mannequins were fabricated from scrap materials. As a final touch for the opening, black-and-white television sets from four decades – the 1940s through 1970s – were stacked in the front window display area and wired to a video camera. The store drew the attention of national retail scouts, who were looking for hip, new fashion and merchandizing trends. Scene Magazine named E Street Cleveland’s Best New Retail Store.

Grand Prix Stores
of America

The Grand Prix Store design is one of Process’s all-time favorite projects. As a start-up retail concept, the available budget was paltry, but the inspiration was considerable. The store concept clicked with John’s interests: racing, high performance cars, and Formula One. The store is filled with amazing details, such as the door handles. Process sourced fire engine red shock absorbers that cost only ten dollars apiece instead of a more typical $150 option. The shock absorbers are the epitome of good design. They are functional, cost-effective, clever, and brand-enhancing design elements. Richardson Design collaborated with Process on this project.

Food Court

This proposed expansion and rebranding of the Tower City Center Food Court was done at the request of Forest City Enterprises. This feasibility study explored adding more restaurants and food kiosks to the food court and Gateway concourse as well as courting an entertainment-focused anchor to the location. The project also investigated the transformation of the Tower City Cinemas into a new cinema/restaurant concept. The solution added 5,500 leasable square feet and 175 seats to the food court and concourse. A new glass curtain wall with a minimal profile improved the quality of natural light entering the space and provided a dynamic base for additional branding on building’s southern façade.

The building contains retail space on the first floor and office space on the second and third floors. Process was the architect for the renovation of the building and designed all of the tenant spaces, including a U.S. Bank branch, the offices of a major non-profit development corporation, and those of the Cleveland International Film Festival. Process’s own studios are located in the building’s former ballroom, where one can see the remains of ornate plasterwork and wall frescos. To retain the sense of the ballroom’s openness, partition walls stop before reaching the ceilings, and glass inserts and wall cut-outs allow light from the building’s soaring windows to flow deep into the office plan. John Williams was a partner in this project and continues to be a part-owner of the building.

Metzner Building

The project team successfully gained historic preservation tax credits for the rehabilitation of the Metzner Building, formerly known as the German Beneficial Hall. Originally three bays wide, a closely-matching fourth bay was added soon after the initial construction date. The scope included a façade restoration, which brightened the entire exterior, and a complete interior renovation. Both portions followed federal preservation standards. The building currently houses retail on the ground floor and market-rate apartments on the upper floors. John Williams was a partner in this project and continues to be a part-owner of the building.

Fulton Avenue Studio

Process adapted this former barbershop into an artist studio on the ground floor, with apartments above. The clients wanted to integrate a clean, contemporary aesthetic with the historic features. The building had been covered with white aluminum siding. The removal of the offending siding revealed many charming architectural features beneath as well as the names of the building’s brickmakers. The façade rehabilitation repaired damaged features and reinvigorated the building’s historic character. A vibrant color palette gives the exterior a contemporary edge.

Century at
The Ritz-Carlton

Century features custom booths tucked between paneled walls which emulate the seating layout in historic dining cars. Curved stainless-steel panels reference the metal enclosure of the cars. With access to the Terminal Tower archives, Process incorporated historic brass elements into the design at key sight lines, such as a screen made with an interlocking moth pattern. Stainless steel was used to distinguish the new fixtures and design elements from the old. Details such as an antique conductor’s watch, suspended in a mohair-covered niche, created a surreal juxtaposition between old and new. Process also selected the restaurant’s artwork: photographs by O. Winston Link and Michael Kenna. These images reinforce the quiet ambiance and elegance of the space. Richardson Design collaborated with Process on this project. Century won top honors at the 2001 IIDA Cleveland-Akron awards ceremony in the Hospitality and Interior Details categories.
