Agora-on-the0Common 12149

Fort George Agora-on-the-Common

This contrasting, yet compatible, connection to the existing site articulates functionality in all predetermined requirements. The structure creates predominance so as to landmark the Agora-on-the-Common for guests. The earth splits about raw projecting walls reminiscent of solid formed bastions from times past. Massed earth faces Queens Parade offering a view of the field reenactments and an accessible rooftop view of the fort interior.

09287 - Pelham Town Hall Expansion

Pelham Town Hall Expansion

The original scope of work for this project was an office addition over the existing building. In the pre-design tasks of this 1960’s building, structural verification was included to determine the loading of an additional floor on the south one-storey section for snow loads and the building as a whole. A diligence review of the existing structure by our Structural Engineer resulted in the re-evaluation of the proposed office addition. A number of issues were brought to light which, in the end, led to a value management decision to build a new council chamber and to renovate the existing council chambers to accommodate new offices.
