Text description provided by the architects. This project strives to create architecture that is regionally sympathetic as well as grounded in the context and community of its place. We can not fall back on superficial fads or historical "styles" that are so common in this region today. If we imitate the form of these historical buildings without recognition of the original content - we have degraded the importance of history and created a skin-deep copy. We are recommending a new architecture for this place that sensitively responds to the site and the client's needs in this unique context.
