This train station was built in 1938 to bring tourists to the newly restored Colonial Williamsburg. The City purchased the building and wanted to transform it into a multi-modal transportation center. The project reorganized the site to accommodate the various needs, provided satellite parking, and renovated the building by reorganizing the users into an interior expanded into the unused former freight areas.
The adaptive use of this 1925
Locomotive Club breathed new life into a rundown structure. The removal
of various additions which had been attached to the building over the years
allowed the building’s distinctive gables to direct the design of the renovated
community center.
This farmhouse (c1860) in Petersburg,
VA was in the middle of the battlefield of what was the last battle of the
Civil War. The Owner wanted to restore it so that it looked as it would
have during that battle. Substantial research by our team made possible
the transformation of the farmhouse back to its authentic original appearance.
The design for future interpretation of this 1.37-acre archaeological site includes an arboretum, several pathways, and a reinterpretation of the original 1750s church footprint, as well as a historical plaque.
This renovation of a late 18th century residence will restore original features of the house, while making it more functional as a secondary residence.
