“Designers must continue to evolve using inspiration from fashion and product design to help the creative mind evolve from business as usual. I think pulling hyper-local arts and culture are more important now than ever. Authenticity is expected and the idea of a contrived composition no longer validates a sense of place. We strive to create something original and timeless in all we do that ultimately gives our owners a better ROI and NOI. We always think of their money like it’s our money. I also think sustainability and innovation with respect to the same is top of mind for most travelers. People want to protect Mother Earth and our value on projects and ownership that share these values.”

“Renovations have touched every corner of the property, with new villas designed to weave together the textures, colours and materials of the Texas landscape. Design elements inspired by indigenous Texas flora and fauna include cool, crisp blues that reflect the opulence of Texas Topaz and the bountiful surrounding lakes, and porcelain tile that nods to the earthy tones of sage and cactus. Touches of leather in warm brown and amber tones evoke the nostalgia of the property’s past as a ranch, with stitching details reminiscent of saddle craftsmanship.”

“The modernization of the dominant neo-Georgian style is understood as the architectural manifestation of how public policy evolves,” it says. “Both architecture and public policy inherently require traditional foundations and new thinking. In particular, at this point in time, public policy requires more transparency, which here translates directly into architecture.”

LEO A DALY-designed Goodwill earns American Concrete Institute award

Goodwill Elkhorn Retail Store and Donation Center has been selected to receive a 2024 Award of Outstanding Achievement for the use of concrete from American Concrete Institute Nebraska.

The LEO A DALY site adapt design is Goodwill’s first ground-up, free-standing build in the Omaha metro in a decade. At 15,000-SF, the facility includes a retail sales floor, drive-through donation center, online pick up and a training room.

“Concrete is dependable, durable and resilient – like Goodwill itself,” said LEO A DALY project manager Erin Froschheiser. “This award affirms Goodwill’s commitment to efficient design and our community.”

Key concrete features of the building include:

  • Exterior wall precast site adapt design utilized precast as more than wall finish. It is also the structural system, eliminating steel columns and freeing up space for the retail store
  • Precast columns at entry are also different than previous buildings, which were cast in place. Precast helped control appearance and expedite schedule. 
  • Precast material met the City of Omaha Urban Design Standards for finish appearance and to screen rooftop equipment.
  • Precast walls and exposed polished concrete floors will require little maintenance for the life of the building.

“We are grateful to our valued building partners and for all the community support, making our growth possible, and for helping thousands of individuals in our community annually receive mission services,” said Janelle Peterson, chief operating officer for Goodwill Omaha.
