Portfolio: Practice(Brewer Public Safety Bldg)







As Assistant Project Manager for this $6.5 million Police & Fire Station in Brewer, Maine, I was tasked with heading up the work effort to produce all Architectural drawings. My original design concept(images on right), which was chosen by the client, attempted to resemble a formal northeastern municipal building melded with traditional New England farm house to create a play between formal and informal, past and present. It was my intention to place the administrative wing of the building on the high point of this sloped site to accentuate its hierarchical importance. The design has gone through some iterations, and the final massing model can be seen on the left. Foundations are presently in, and steel will be placed soon.
