Lots o’ work to do but it’s going to be amazing!

Since reopening in 2016, Cincinnati’s historic Memorial Hall has hosted hundreds of concerts, performances, and other events. It’s very satisfying to have been a part of that – and a part of the effort to plan for its future.

“We used softer geometry to feel playful, childlike and cheerful. An arched seating nook built into a wall in the waiting room helps make a medical environment feel more approachable and less intimidating.” –GBBN Associate, Heidi Lofton, NCIDQ

#ProjectShareFriday: Our restoration of the @taftmuseum was meticulous and innovative. The team developed a plan for removing the exterior siding and windows, piece by piece, so they could be evaluated and repaired or replaced. During this process, the wood structure beneath was stabilized and insulated, before the siding was put back in place with an updated rainscreen underneath.

When is an office-to-residential conversion more than a new place to live? When the design capitalizes on one-of-a-kind, historic details to create joyful and unexpected moments. We’re working with City Club Apartments to create these moments in #Cincinnati’s Union Central Trust Building.
