Building a bridge between two communities

AIA Pittsburgh Design Award
Fairmont
Architecture, Certificate of Merit, 2006
“This is a very smart project. It employs many sound traditional urban strategies while managing to keep the design fresh and modern. Nice detailing in spite of a very tight budget. Kept it simple with correct proportions. The architects achieved a design that accomplished much more than its budget might have implied. The use of geometry is very purposeful in breaking up and scaling the buildings. It is a restrained but thoughtful response to the precedent set across the street without being slavishly historic. Simple gestures in the rhythm and the palette.”

“The architectural project was worthy of more recognition because of what they accomplished from an urban design standpoint with a very limited budget. The design plan is a hopeful expression of what it means to have an urban community.”
