Following are some of the historic preservation and adaptive
reuse projects on which our firm's principal, Richard
Behr, has worked. For additional information about any of
these projects, please contact us. |
- Barnum Hotel (Bridgeport, Connecticut)
This project involved feasibility
analysis and architectural services for the conversion of a
National Landmark hotel into housing for the elderly.
- Center Court (New Haven Connecticut)
This project involved the rehabilitation
of a high-rise telephone company building into 74 apartments
and commercial space. The building presented an ideal situation
for introducing housing into an urban area undergoing gentrification.
-
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

- Cobble Hill Towers (Brooklyn, NY)
The Cobble Hill Towers restoration and renovation involved the
$5,000,000 rehabilitation of nine inter-connected 1876 National
Landmark buildings into 187 dwelling units. The project has
received national recognition and has been the recipient of
the Urban Design Award for Preservation and Renovation and a
$200,000 preservation grant under the 1966 Historic Preservation
Act. It is the largest project developed under the neighborhood
preservation program of the city of New York and has received
acclaim in several publications. (more

- Mohican Hotel (New London, Connecticut)
This $8,500,000 rehabilitation and
restoration of the historic Mohican Hotel on Captain's Walk
in New London, Connecticut was completed under the Neighborhood
Strategy Program of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
This project was part of a ten-year effort by the city to restore
the historic waterfront area, and the Mohican Hotel rehabilitation
into 146 units of housing is the largest individual project
undertaken in this historic waterfront area. The project is
distinguished by its prominent location and its outstanding
view of the harbor and Long Island Sound. Project responsibilities
included complete architectural services and certification of
the completed project for tax-shelter syndication. (more

- Shubert Center for the Performing
Arts (New Haven, Connecticut)
This project involved complete master planning and architectural/engineering
services for the restoration and expansion of this National
Landmark theatre into a Center for the Performing Arts. Professional
services also included participation in acquiring Federal, State,
and Local funding, as well as complete interior design, furnishings,
and graphics.
- Taft Hotel (New Haven, Connecticut)
This project involved the conversion
of the landmark Taft Hotel into 196 apartments, with commercial
facilities and restaurants on the ground floors. The 14-story
hotel is prominently located on the historic New Haven Green,
adjacent to Yale University. Renovation emphasized and drew
upon the elegance of existing architectural features — high
ceilings were retained in the grand colonnade, and the dome
area of the central interior space was re-used as the main lobby.
