Learning the history of the building is an exciting part of my job.  The exploring and discovery phase of the project is where I really start to learn about the building and we look for its finest features and character.  I respond to those findings and design the building to highlight those features so that it is shared with as many future occupants as possible.  Sometimes and often, there are smaller features that will just be within units.  

I have always been keen on differentiating between the old and new and these buildings allow me to do that.  I very much enjoy making sure the original building shines through as much as possible.
