"Over the past two and half years we have been worked closely with BNIM on the Plaza Colonnade project. This is a mixed -use development with over over 275,000 square feet of office space, a new public library, and a small retail component. Our relationship with BNIM, from design of the project, through construction administration, has been first rate. They have been responsive to our desires of the design of the building as well as the day-to-day contact with the base building construction. BNIM has been responsive to the tenant’s requests but has kept the interests of the developer clearly in mind. This situation has been a good experience." - Jack Fox, Director of Development, Highwoods Properties

"While working with BNIM on the Plaza Colonnade project it was clear that they had a very thorough understand of high-rise buildings with a multi-tenant function combined with outstanding design skills. The project required the joining of a public Library facility with a multi- tenant office building above, creating several complex issues related to identity, security, and functional separation—all of which were solved within an especially beautiful and functional design. BNIM was able to solve operational issues while at the same time creating an extraordinary design through the careful study of the building orientation and massing. The inventive design was carried into the main lobby as well, creating a distinctive public space for users and visitors. By maintaining a visual connection that allows the appearance of spatial continuity, BNIM was able to provide the required separation for different users; The Office user functions separately from the Library user, while operating as part of dinstict whole. BNIM’s design contribution to this project was thoughtful and thorough, providing a signature space that should be expected in a building of this kind. BNIM was able to address and resolve all of the challenges of the Plaza Colonnade project. They are adept at providing solutions that respond to the complexities of program and the sensibilities of budget. They work collaboratively with their clients to satisfy needs and concerns, while providing the highest level of design and management leadership." - Jon Copaken, Director of Development, Copaken White and Blitt
