VETERANS ADMINISTRATION MEDICAL CENTER Community Living Center, Washington, DC

The project, situated within an active hospital environment at the Washington VA Medical Center, encompasses interior renovations to an existing 50,000 sf Community Living Center (CLC) and a new 9,000 sf one story addition to house the Hospice Home.

The new Hospice Home will provide 12 private resident bedrooms and supporting areas with direct connections to the existing CLC’s core facility. Interior renovations include new finish materials throughout the existing CLC with limited reconfiguration of existing spaces to integrate the new addition into the existing facility while maintaining a 120 bed capacity.

This new design takes full advantage of the view of the United States Capital Building by orienting both the second story healing garden and the one and a half story multi-purpose room due south. The new multipurpose room layout is functionally flexible and includes lounges with fire places and a large expanse of glass that frames the Capital Building.

Eastern Maine Health Care

Brewer Professional Office Building, Brewer, Maine This 142,000 sq.ft. building houses Outpatient Facilities, clinical and administrative personnel for a regional medical center in central Maine. The building is the first of four which, when completed, will create a complex totaling more than 450,000 sq.ft. for administrative, outpatient clinical and research space. This building, along with the other three buildings in the complex will connect to a circular core, providing conferencing and dining facilities, allowing easy access between each facility and sharing of several core program areas.

In keeping with the goal of the Eastern Maine Healthcare, the building utilizes floor to ceiling window openings to bring the outside in and share natural light through the entire building footprint. This natural light also floods the two story entry lobby that creates an inviting statement that demonstrates a level of building quality that can be used as a recruiting tool to lure future professionals. The layout of each floor is similar, with repetitive bay sizes, central utility and service core and large open areas which can be fit out as needed by various departments and are flexible to accommodate changing needs

All Architects Design... We Create....

Design is a problem-solving process and is most successful when approaching a problem systematically. Architects tend to design by collecting ideas and skills through listening, sketching and testing where eventually a particular problem will become the focus of the architects’ design solutions.

Creativity, on the other hand, is a quality that is highly valued but not always well understood. We believe it has to do with design flexibility and imagination where the process is more spontaneous, expressive and less inhibited – one where we tend to first trust our own judgment and ideas and are not afraid of trying something new.

Designed for an initial student population of 620 and a staff compliment of 83, including volunteers and aides, the facility houses four classes per grade level from grades K-5.
