FEATURED PROJECTS

HISTORIC

LEXINGTON OPERA HOUSE

Originally built in 1886, it was the home of theatrical and musical culture when Lexington was known as the “Athens of the West.”  Through the efforts of civic leaders and philanthropists, it was restored to its original opulence. Deteriorated materials were removed, existing structures repaired and reinforced, and state-of-the-art mechanical and electrical infrastructure were installed. In addition, painstaking restoration of the building’s ornate plasterwork and elaborate finishes were accomplished with attention to historical detail and skilled craftsmanship.

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, PATTERSON HALL

Patterson Hall was the first women’s dorm built for the University of Kentucky in the early 1900’s and the rehabilitation of this historic building serves as the centerpiece of the university’s north campus dormitory project.  The building is a 3-story, 34,500 SF load-bearing masonry building with wood floor framing and heavy timber roof construction.  Renovations transformed the building into classrooms, study areas and gathering spaces and full rehabilitation of the building façade and MEP systems.
