St. Catherine of Sienna Church
Exterior Renovations and New Slate Roof
The façade of this white/pink brick building was deteriorating rapidly and was terribly stained. The original construction featured reversed corbel details that were not protected by flashings. Water, snow and ice sat on the bricks, then soaked the walls, leading to mold and mildew growth on the building's skin. New tin-zinc coated copper flashings will be installed at the existing reverse corbel bands that wrap the building at several levels. A mild 'green' wash will be applied with a low- pressure wash to remove mold and mildew at the bricks' face.
The slate roof at this Greek-Revival church had a failing slate roof. Details and specifications were created to bid the roof replacement work to pre-qualified roofing contractors.
Church Social Hall Renovations
This site-cast concrete 1950’s church has unusually high ceiling height at the lower level, and seventy2architects was hired to convert this basement-theater space into a multi-purpose Social Hall. New energy-efficient heating and air-conditioning systems are being installed, and will be concealed in soffits. New arch-topped windows, bright suspended ceilings and contemporary light fixtures will be added. Insulation has been added to exterior walls to increase comfort and decrease energy costs. A seven-foot tall painted poplar wainscoting will be added to perimeter walls and columns, and the original terrazzo floors will be restored to their original luster.
Construction is underway and will be completed for Christmas 2011.

Housatonic Valley Waldorf School, Newtown CT
Project Size: 1,200 SF. 1 classroom, kitchen prep area and support spaces.
Nestled in the woods along Dodgingtown Road, a new kindergarten building was designed and constructed for this Newtown arts-based-learning school. The building’s form follows the Waldorf School’s architectural rules (based on Rudolph Steiner's architecture and his spiritual philosophy entitled Anthroposophy): ‘organic’ non-rectilinear forms, with few (if any) sharp corners or edges. The roof peaks have been clipped, and the interior features a low trey ceiling to relate to a child’s body proportion.
Status: Construction complete.
