Beneficial Designs, a design and engineering firm that "works towards universal access through research, design, and education," has created a tool for assessing ADA compliance of sidewalks. The tricycle-wheeled cart connected to sensors and data makes ADA compliance inspection much easier. Although it seems to be marketed to public agencies, it is only a matter of time before the ADA attorneys get their hands on this and use it to go after retailers and property owners.
Redhive is proud of our second completed project for LandMark Retail Group! This new pharmacy is right by the Civic Center BART station, in an historic 1908 building. The store is part of the revitalization of this part of San Francisco, and a great addition to the neighborhood! Redhive provided project, and construction management services. The architect and general contractor were our great friends at Architectural Dimensions and R3 Builders.

Beekeeping on the green roof of a NYC skyscraper! This is Redhive Approved for sure! Here is an excerpt from the NYT article linked to this post:
Perhaps it’s not surprising that Durst has become a proponent of beekeeping. The company has green roofs on eight of its commercial buildings. One Bryant Park, which received a LEED platinum rating from the United States Green Building Council, houses the corporate and investment businesses of the Bank of America as well as Durst’s offices. Its green features include a special air-filtration system that filters out 95 percent of particulate matter, an urban garden room within the lobby, and the green roofs, which use compost made from waste from the building’s cafeteria.
And beekeeping has a long tradition in New York, now including such lofty perches as the terraces of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and the Whitney Museum of Art. In fact, beehives are becoming increasingly common across the city, said James Fischer, the director of education at TheHoneybeeConservancy.org, an advocacy group.

Now, a group of researchers led by Antonio Aguado, Ignacio Segura, and Sandra Manso at the Structural Technology Group of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya has developed a new multilayer concrete that is able to support plant life. Both a medium for growth and a construction material, the system allows for thermal regulation and CO2 sequestration.

CVS/pharmacy in Berkeley, CA
Redhive's first project was completed as a subcontractor to LandMark Retail Group, and opened May 26, 2013. The project included the remodel of an as-is +/- 28,000 sq. ft. former grocery store on a tight, non-conforming site. Although the retail and alcohol use of the former Andronico's was to be continued by CVS, the staff-level design-review approval was appealed to the Design Review Committee, with significant neighbor opposition. Redhive, together with our friends at Architectural Dimensions, was able to incorporate community requests for landscaping and facade enhancements to obtained design approval. The neighborhood now has access to daily-needs and grocery items that was lost when the former market closed, in addition to a full-service retail pharmacy. Together with Eleven Western Builders, we completed the store on budget and on schedule.
