Historic

Friends Center’s 1.26-acre campus includes the historic Race Street Meetinghouse, built in 1856, and a 56,000SF office building, constructed in 1972.

The Pittsburgh Glass Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching, creating, and promoting glass art. The Center's new building includes state-of-the-art studios in hot glass, flameworking, and coldworking. A neighborhood revitalization project in Pittsburgh's historic Friendship area, the Center is housed in a building that has previously been home to a food cooperative, a mattress distributor, and an automobile showroom.

The design process included meetings and charrettes with all project stakeholders, including the general public.

The Barn at Fallingwater is an adaptive reuse of a 19th century heavy-timber barn and its 20th century addition, framed in dimension lumber. The 19th century structure is a bank barn, built into the side of a hill so that two levels can be accessed directly from grade level. It serves as an interpretive portal for the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy's 5,000-acre Bear Run nature reserve, immediately adjacent to Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater.

The Franciscan nuns of the Felician Sisters Convent faced a dilemma: an aging physical plant, a population with an average age of 77, declining income, increasing expenses, and the desire to leave a legacy. The community lived in both a 1960s infirmary building and a 1930s motherhouse, which also housed the 300-student Our Lady of Sacred Heart High School. The Sisters decided to renovate the motherhouse and consolidate the community and school there.

Following WRT's comprehensive park master plan, this $4.6 million restoration and adaptive reuse of the historic Blue Ball Dairy Barn creates a focal point for Alapocas Run State Park that accomodates a visitor's center, a museum, and an event facility. A new addition houses support facilities, restrooms, and offices, as well as catering and vending services.
