The
Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies (CMPS) (New York
City)
The CMPS project involved the renovation of five floors of
a mixed-use landmark brownstone building in the Greenwich
Village historic district of New York City. The cellar
level of the building was lowered, providing approximately
3,500 additional square feet of usable space. A landscaped
garden courtyard was created outside of the waiting room at
the building's lower level. The upper floors were completely
renovated as classrooms and administrative offices. New egress
stairs and a new elevator were added, and the facade and windows
of the building were restored. (more

- Greenwich School System (Greenwich, Connecticut)
Full architectural services were provided
for the rehabilitation of 15 schools in the Greenwich school
system — 11 elementary schools, 3 junior high schools, and 1
high school. This program, at a total cost of more than $8,000,000,
included modernization, energy conservation, new media centers,
code work, and other general construction. All schools were
occupied during the construction, thereby requiring careful
sequencing of work to avoid disrupting the functioning of the
schools.
- The Margaret Chapman School (Hawthorne, New York)
The Margaret Chapman School provides
special education for school-aged children, as well as on-campus
residence housing for mentally disabled adults. This project
involved a complete code review of the entire campus, master
planning of a new campus, design of a new daycare center, site
plan approval, budget analysis, and renovation of the main school
and administrative offices. The structural and HVAC systems
were upgraded, and the concrete block building was sheathed
in rigid board insulation to increase its energy efficiency.
In addition, we worked with the Hawthorne Fire Department to
integrate a campus-wide fire access system.
- The Mead School (Greenwich, Connecticut)
This project involved the adaptive reuse
of an old factory building into an elementary school for grades
pre-K through 8. As a result of limited budgets, existing structural
and mechanical elements and high spaces were utilized to create
visual interest. Although basically an open floor plan, private
spaces were incorporated as forms within the overall space.
Throughout the complete architectural process, an intensive
dialogue was maintained with the school directors to ensure
the proper integration of physical design with educational philosophy.
The Mead School has received several design awards, has been
published in several professional journals, and has been cited
by various educators as a unique and outstanding project.
- Stamford School System (Stamford, Connecticut)
This was a comprehensive study and
evaluation of the physical facilities of the entire Stamford
school system (23 schools). This study interfaced with a study
of alternative learning and teaching styles and their relationship
to physical space.
- Tots and Toddlers Child Care (Armonk, New York)
Currently in the planning stages, Tots
and Toddlers Child Care is a daycare center for approximately
300 children. With a construction budget of $3,700,000, the
center will feature generous amenities including: a large,
rural, wooded, and private lot; exposed timber frame construction;
25,000 square feet of daycare space; an interior swimming
pool, and an exterior fish pond, with viewing windows from
the interior of the daycare. The site of this project — Armonk,
New York — has one of the greatest concentrations of Fortune
500 Companies in the world. Tots and Toddlers is currently
operating in downtown Armonk and eagerly awaits this much-needed
expansion. Construction of this project is expected to
begin in July of 2001, enabling occupancy in May or June of
2002. This project is sponsored by IBM, MBIA,
and Tots and Toddlers. (more
