PACKARD MANOR - Chautauqua, New York

Residential Design Award: 2001 Buffalo/WNY AIA Design Awards

By design, all additions and renovations to the historic Tudor style mansion including historic detailing, handicapped accessibility, and state-of-the-art building and communications systems looks as if it were part of the original 1917 design. Grand antiques, gilded moldings, spacious bathrooms, dramatic lake views disguise the amenities that bring this estate into the 21st Century.

Newly designed site planning and landscaping recreate a stately approach to the manor, while providing some screening from adjacent properties. A grand stair provides easy access as well as a formal approach to Chautauqua Lake. Innovative design was introduced in attic "staff quarters", a new kitchen with dining terrace, and a spa area in the basement.

BUFFALO STATE COLLEGE - Buffalo, New York

Honorable Mention: 2001 Buffalo/WNY AIA Design Awards

A 12,000 square foot addition and major alterations to a 1960s Modern Era building tranformed an existing dark and chaotic interior space into a naturally lit, welcoming social space that accomodates a Barnes & Noble Bookstore, coffee shop and reading area. New energy efficient lighting, skylights, and high clerestory windows allow for an exchange of light both inward during the day as well as outward in the evening.

For the necessary additional space, architects designed a curved exterior wall that eases into a corner of the campus' main quadrangle. A wall of windows and columns directs a strong pedestrian flow to a monumental entry way.
