The Gordon School in East Providence needed a summer make-over of their most precious central "Commons" space in their original Bill Warner designed facility.  We looked to retain the character defining features of the space: board-form concrete, the pyramidal ceiling and the oak floor. Using those as our canvas, we gave the space a lighter, airier feel by and humanized the scale with subtle floor and ceiling treatment. We addressed changing program needs by incorporating a modern conference room, and created a custom millwork element to display student art work.

We worked closely with the owner and contractor to go from concept to move-in in 3 short months!
